I'm sorry to have taken so long to reply to your inquiry. I've been lurking on another forum recently. But I'll try to give some help. Have you been using the same M42 to EOS adapter for other ...

I've been working on getting this little achromat piggybacked on my old Celestron-8. While this is still a work in progress, I did get one night's observing of some double stars. Lacking a star ...

Good effort, Paul. Viewing an eclipse on a night when you have to work shows some dedication. And your results are very good. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Rudy, If that was the degradation I had in the corner, it would not bother me that much. If you want it to be perfect, then you'll need to be paying premium prices. Even with a premium price, it ...

I guess my being a night owl paid off. Was able to get the files downloaded last night. But it took patience. Each of the 3 programs was about  320 MB zipped. They took about an hour each to ...

That's good to know. It did load my jpegs, analyze them and place alignment points. But it hung up when stacking. I'll need find a avi video to try stacking that. I've got all three programs ...

I got AutoStakkert!-2 to load and run just fine. The only issue with downloading was it kept losing the network connection to your server. But once I learned that download could be resumed (rather ...

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I can't wait to give these a try. What a gift for those of us who are software challenged.

Those are spectacular eclipse images, Bob! Thanks for sharing them with us. From time to time I hear coyotes in the night. But seldom are they very close, like you experienced. Did you join in ...

That extra time made all the difference the world. At my location total eclipse ended just 15 minutes after the start of morning twilight. So there was almost no interference from the dawn light. ...

Wow, Jack - you've really picked up the ball and run with this. I haven't had time to read what you've already posted. But thanks so much for all your research on this. When I had Registax-6 ...

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I wanted to add my impressions of the 2018 eclipse experience. While I've seen dozens of eclipses over the years, this one seemed to be colored like 90% percent of them are - ...

Jack, that's great news (in your other posts below). I saw your inquiry earlier, but didn't have opportunity to reply due to other obligations. But you've shown that the Wineskin does run on the ...

Yes, I agree with Rudy's thoughts here. You two have been exemplary when disagreeing, but still treating each other with respect. Way to go! We all have much to learn from you two.

Thanks for the kind comment, Atigun. I honestly don't remember if I had the camera set on auto WB. But it could be. The biggest problem with the first image is that I had been up almost all night ...

I use both AutoStakkert!-2 and Registax-6 on my MacBook Pro (mid-2012), running in a "Wineskin". The process of setting this up is described in the following link: Running Windows Programs on a Mac ...

Here's another edit of the same image:

Here's another one of over 50 shots using a Pentax 135mm f/2.5 @ f/3.5 with Sony NEX-5N camera. These were riding piggyback on a Celestron-8. Lunar Eclipse, January 31, 2017 - Delta Cancer ...

Good work, Jack! I tried for getting something similar. Using a 135mm w/ APS-C the FOV was adequate. But the camera orientation was wrong to include the Beehive. I couldn't change the orientation ...

Those are super, Jack. I'm glad you were able to capture that sequence. I like the first ones at top how they show the penumbra.
