Patrick and others with SCTs: Did you see the Astronomy Mag article about the Hyperstar? Its an attachment that goes in place of the secondary, turning the big telescope into a huge, fast wide-field instrument! Apparently we can take images as wide as we want. Take a look at it. It's really impressive. If I had the dough I'd get one today. -- Thanks, Joe --- On Fri, 2/27/09, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote: From: Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> Subject: [Utah-astronomy] HH 2x2 To: "utah astronomy listserve utah astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Date: Friday, February 27, 2009, 3:47 AM Here's the latest kit (probably the last for a while). http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/HH2X2.ZIP Again of the Horsehead but this time binned 2x2 (less sensitive that 3x3 but finer grain). All are 2 minute, guided exposures. 26 MB. Contains: 10-Luminance 4-Red 4-Green 6-Blue 1-Dark 1-Flat for each color and the luminance This is what I was able to make from it: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/HH2X2C.JPG More yellow stars. Grumble. Considering others were able to get whiter stars using my 3x3 data and I keep getting yellow I'm guessing I'm missing something. Tyler, a few of us were talking last evening and agreed it would be fun to have you to lunch/dinner one day so we could get some extra instruction. If that sounds like something you'd like to do please let me know when you're going to be in SLC and we'll see about putting something together. patrick the yellow _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://gallery.utahastronomy.com Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
