Hi, I'd go longer between exposures if I could but my horizon to the south is poor so I've only got about 2 hours when the pair are where I can get at them. Add to that it not getting to astronomical dark until the pair are half way through the window and I've got under an hour to work with. I deleted last night's images and then got two more shots tonight. 30 minutes apart. I've reversed them in the image so both Vesta and Ceres appear above the star field. Vesta is the brightest object on the left, just above center while Ceres is the brightest object on the right and just below center. http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/cv2014jul01.jpg I think these will be my final attempt at stereo. From here one I'm just going to try for one good shot each night as the two draw closer. I hope to spot the pair visually during Saturday night's star party at SPOC. patrick On 30 Jun 2014, at 07:59, Ed <utnatsedj1@xmission.com> wrote:
Patrick, Chuck,
I agree with Chuck, the two images are nearly identical as far as I can tell when viewing them as a stereo pair. At the very most, I perceive the left most bright object is behind the star field indicating the images are left-right reversed for normal cross-eyed viewing.
Maybe a longer time between frames and proper orientation would show positions of these two objects nearer than the background star field as we would expect.
