Title: Mike's Imaging Evening 9th march

A lovely clear sky, 10 people, different imaging techniques going on around the garden.

A very interesting evening, the main attraction, Mike setting up from the beginning & doing a 10 minute guided exposure of the Sunflower Galaxy.

Thanks to Cris for looking after us.

I can now take images of the fence and part of Orion, remotely from my laptop.
John told me the program to purchase and Fay showed me some of the workings last night @ Mikes
Thanks Mike for a great night and don't forget to post the image you were doing, (you made it look easy) and thanks Fay for all your help.
And Fay don't worry about the noise, like i said we all get old!!!! :(

I must admit when I was going to the station last night to a party in London, I was kinda kicking myself because the sky looked really transparent and settled, so hopefully you all some some nice pictures for us to look at.

Title: Noise
Post by: Fay on Mar 10, 2007, 15:09:39
The noise was the amount of noise on Mike's image. He kept telling me not to worry about it, it can be sorted later!!

Having had this noise myself, I thought that I must have been doing something wrong with Maxim, but Mike said it was a normal event!
