Nice shot Carlos! I would also like to see one with the stars.

Thanks Mike, yes I used the 2.5 powermate. I have a Moolite focuser on mine and use a hand controlled motor to focus. Here is a pic of my focuser. This focuser was designed for the Lepus reducer. I now have the dedicated 0.7 reducer.

The 8" edge is a good scope also. Flat field all the ways across. I use a 50mm Orion guide scope and camera but I have a good mount. At 2000mm it is pretty tough to guide. I use a 0.7 reducer when I do deep sky. For planetary imaging if you live where the jet stream is forget the planets the...

Thank you John!

Thank you Jim!

If I only had a Celestron 14 but this 9.25 does a fantastic job and it is easy to handle. Look up some shots taken with the 14" scope you will be amazed.

Ben, that gap is the shadow of Saturn.

Thanks Alan!

It finally cleared up to get a second shot of Saturn. The seeing was very good and the transparency was very good for florida standards. I used the celestron 9.25 Edge and a 2.5 Powermate, ASI224mc camera.

Nice work jim, I made it a point when I went out to a dark site I would get at least a hour of data on each subject if I could. You can also add to it next time you go out.

Thanks Mike, I use it to capture my deep sky stuff with the ASI533mc. I haven't used it with the 1600mm on deep sky. I use ASIcap to capture the planets and the sun. I was getting a lot of dropped frames with Sharpcap and Fire capture, I get maybe 1 dropped frame with ASIcap. i think I will be...

I'm liking what it does for the planets. I hope they add more features in the update.

Thnk You Dan!

Thank You!

I've been trying different stacking sofware for processing the sun, moon and planets. ZWO came out with ASIStudio. It is all basic and very simple to use. I put together a short tutorial on processing Jupiter. This is excellent for beginners who want a simple program without all the different...

Wish I had more time but Jupiter went behind some trees.

This is approx 30 minutes

Thank you!

Thanks Jim, The seeing is so much better in the morning when I'm not getting all the heat currents coming off my neighbors roof. It seems like all my good planetary mages are taken after midnight after .

Thanks Alan, yes that is the shadow.
