  1. Herbig Haro HH 555 IC 5070 Pelican Nebulae

    Herbig Haro HH 555 IC 5070 Pelican Nebulae

     

    HH 555 is the clearest example of a Herbig-Haro object in the Pelican Nebula. In this image detail you can easily see the jet shooting out of the tip of the pillar indicating the presence of an unseen protostar.

     

    Moreover there are more irradiated Jets and outflows in the Pelican Nebula as you can see in the image like: HH 563, HH 564, HH 565, HH 566, HH 567 and the HH 568.

    Posted

    Hello Luis,

    Many thanks for the invitation! Last March, I saw the group of 40 observatories from the road up to Montsec, - very impressive. My family and I stayed at the hotel near the observatories (Mmm, excellent cuisine :-). I hope to visit again soon, perhaps in the autumn. Yes, I will contact you. Thanks again.

    Cheers,

    Robert

    Hello Robert,

    Wellcome to the Montsec. I will be happy to share with your our instalations. We also have a two telescope of 500 mm one in the Montsec and another in the city of Sabadell.

    Here you have the link of our Astronomical Association.

    Note: I know a beautifull places to visit near the Montsec, hope we can meet some day.

     

    Take care

    Wooo Mark, it's really amazing, I like very much the balance colour that have you could extract taking into consideration the total amount exposure is not too much for this tiny and weak Galaxy.

     

    Best regards,

    M51 Whirlpool galaxy (Remote control from China - Teamviewer)

     

    This photo of the M51 have been done during my trip to China, during almost one month I could get enough photons to capture this amazing couple of galaxies.

     

    Since I have my own observatory with a remote control I have more time and chances to make astrophotografy from my home located at 200 km, but this time I have tried to do it from China by Teamviewer, this is it been a new challenge for me. when I went to bed, leaving the computer on without physical presence and this is the final result. Hope you liked it.

     

    This photo wouldn't be possible to make it without the help of my good friend Miguel Angel Borrella (http://observatoriosspag.es/index.php/es/) that some nights he enter to my computer to check if everything goes well, he also lives at 500 Km from my observatory, but during my trip, he was more near than me in case there was something strange happened like the unexpected closing the roof, but it seems the job is well done and the Talon6 is running perfectly.

  15. How does Safety monitor works?

    in Software

    Posted

    I am also working fine with it, but as Copze said, I also have to restart Sequence each night, but works very well. Anyway in parallel I have the "Talon6" robotic system, so even Sequence have problems to park the Scope, inmediatelly Talon do this job for me, thus I can go to sleep all the nights counting sheep :).

     

    For more inform about the Robotic System Talon6, here you have the link:

  21. Visual Tutorial Polar Alignment for Dummies - Autoslew

    in Software

    Posted

    Just a quick question. How accurate do most people try and get their physical polar alignment (particularly for static installations) before doing Autoslew polar alignment? Autoslew obviously compensates for imperfect physical alignment, but there are limits. Presumably if it is sufficiently imprecise then rotational effects will cause a problem on long exposures at longer focal lengths?

     

    This is of interest to me because I use the DDM85XL with the equatorial pier and physical alignment requires the whole pier to be adjusted - not easy. Just wondering how good is good enough. My F/L is 3,200mm.

     

    Hi Nak, I have using the DDM85XL with an GSO RC14" truss (F/L 2848 mm), thw CCD is the Moravian G2-8300 (5,4um), currently I am working with an Astro Physics CCD tele compressor CCDT67, so my resolution is 0.54"/px (2065 mm). Once I made the PA I got 12'x6', I am working with 10 min with "MLPT" without troubles, taking into consideration good seeing.

     

    Best regards

    Thanks Luis. All very helpful to the beginner.

    It is strange that the part about encoder resolution still appears - even with mounts with fixed encoder resolutions.

    Thank you George,

     

    Yes you are right, the problem is that to do this tutorial I have installed in another computer so I have had to restart everything, for sure if you mount is fixed this message won't appear. I will take into consideration for my next update.

    Posted · Edited by astrosirius

    Dear to everybody.

     

    I have made this simply but easy tutorial to following the steps to get the Polar Alignment with Autoslew.

     

    I have noticed that there are many people with doubts how to proceed with the Polar Alignment, thus I have decided to make it to help all everybody that need it this help.

     

    If you have considered that there is something wrong or need some amendment, please fell free to contact with me to update it.

     

    Note: I have written "Dummies" to justify that is easy to understand for all levels especially for beginners.

     

    I hope it be usefull.

     

    Best regards
    Luis Romero.
