RE: Deneb in the Cygnus Constellation
Awesome shot Michael :-)
I've not tried the American Astronomical Society Worldwide telescope yet by myself, but I think I will give it a try with my next project, which I hope to be able to start in August. Until then I need to do a lot of handcraft for the new controlling computer.
Automatic stacking is a little tricky with wide fields. Sometimes it works but most of the time there are some errors.
Very nice to see what improvements you're making.
Thank you Kevin :-)
The auto stacking software is for sure very tricky. I now have a much better plan on what to shoot and when so these tests have been very helpful to figure thngs out.
The American Astronomical Society Worldwide telescope is a very useful resource with lots of very useful information but I did notice that both the A.A.S. and Astrometry have invalid security certificates which was kind of odd. Maybe someone forgot to update the certificates.
It's not a problem as we don't put any personal data on either website but thought I should mention it just in case you use it.
This month we have some great photo opportunities with Jupiter in opposition. I might try to get the Moons of Jupiter.
Can't wait to see the results of your new configuration in August.
You're welcome Michael :-)
That's great to hear. Planing shots is a very difficult job. But it helps a lot to figure out what setting lead to which result.
I think astrometry.net hasn't an SSL certificate. A.A.S. seems to work properly. Which browser do you use?
As you say, it should be safe as we do not transmit any personal data, just the image itself.
I must confess, I also forgot to select the new certificate on the web hoster interface of our website at work :-D
I hope to be able to do a little bit of wide field with my DSLR
Thank you very much Michael. I hope that I have some luck an will be abe to collect some data.
