a number os isues

I have a few observations to report: 1. In version 8 and 9 (maybe 7 too), in the sharpening module, the "before" is grayed out when using the default 300%. 299 or 301 enables it. 2. In version 9, clicking on the star synth modules causes the programme to crash 3. If using on a slow, old computer, in...

presentation questions

Hi all, I'm giving a startools workshop at my local astronomy club (RASC in Winnipeg Canada) and have a few questions. 1. What is the difference between "shadow linearity" and "detector gamma"? I find the stretches of autodev to be very conservative and low contrast - especialy in the later versions...

Re: true colour in globular clusters

Thanks for your work Dietmar - and yes, I will re-shoot next year as the target is now not visible. However, i will contact Mladen, the support person for ITelescope and see what can be done by updating flats or other calibration files. I don't know how they do this but hopefully they can with a mis...

Re: true colour in globular clusters

Thanks for this! ill need a bit of time to digest what you've written. Meanwhile I could at least re shoot the red and blue frames and then crop the image even more aggressively.

Generally this system produces good colours with other targets.

Thanks Richard

Re: true colour in globular clusters

Thanks for all your hard work Mike - really amazing. A few questions: After checking Stellarium though, I question those blue stars, since their B-V values make them rather Sun-like, and thus perhaps ought to be white. Stellarium provides you with such information? I never knew (how?) There's also a...

M45 colour balance

Well here's another query back to back on my last one. Things have piled up since I haven't visited the forum for so long :) I took this image with an 11 inch RASA f2.3. I think there is about 88 min of exposure with 4 minute lights which is a lot of exposure with such a scope. I was amazed to see t...

Re: true colour in globular clusters

Sorry, I've been away for a week or so and won't be back for several days. I will post a Dropbox of my stacks and I'll also restack them with a different programme though my m13 looks the same (used with a different scope and osc ). Looks like Ivo may be away or busy but I'd love his view on this as...
