New blog post with images coming soon. One other benefit of the larger field of view: SharpCap now has more stars to use while keeping frames aligned for live stacking. There were some objects that I couldn't live stack for lack of alignment stars.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06023598350107870887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099418004543193751.post-10633700551936534312018-11-20T20:38:39.550-05:002018-11-20T20:38:39.550-05:00This really helps me understand the value of the l...This really helps me understand the value of the larger imaging processors.

DW gave me budgetary approval last month and I waited to see if there would be any "Black Friday" sales. Saved a bunch by waiting. 😊💲💰Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06023598350107870887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099418004543193751.post-58531479179589147552018-11-20T07:45:46.769-05:002018-11-20T07:45:46.769-05:00The impending clouds and full moon are a disappoin...The impending clouds and full moon are a disappointment, but there is some value to having a bright moon when using new equipment for the first time. It makes it easier see the equipment when tinkering with it.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06023598350107870887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099418004543193751.post-6688869002420767182018-11-20T07:20:24.685-05:002018-11-20T07:20:24.685-05:00So much more sensor real estate!

The LiveSky image with the two different fields of view superimposed really shows the difference between the two imagers.<br /><br />Uh oh, you know now that not only will there be lots of clouds for the next few months, but also there will be a bright moon the first night of cloudless sky.:-) Curses indeed!Priscilla Bettishttps://priscillabettisauthor.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
