You know me…I love playing with our astro toys…so I captured a few frames to see what I could get imaging-wise. All images taken with a Zeiss APQ-130, on an EM-200, with a OSC Mallincam Color Hyper Plus video camera. First light: M82 I managed to catch a few 28 second frames (75 of them) with DeepSky Imaging, convert to regular TIFs, then process with CCDStack and Photoshop. It could have been a lot deeper, but I was pleased with the results for a "first light": http://www.flemingastrophotography.com/astropics/interim/M82_100pct.jpg Second Light: M51 This was a little deeper at 550 frames @ 14 seconds, or just over two hours in total time. Image capture with DeepSky Imaging, processed in CCDStack and Photoshop: http://www.flemingastrophotography.com/astropics/interim/M51-LRGB3-MCHCP.jpg Finally, Venus during the day: I stacked the Televue 5x Powermate along with the 2.5x Powermate, for an effective F/ratio of 96.15, or 12,500mm focal length. Keeping the darned planet in the FOV and manually focusing was...a challenge <g>. I used 1613 frames from around 3600 in the avi: http://www.flemingastrophotography.com/astropics/interim/Venus2_20pct-1613.jpg They were fun to do, and interesting to see what I could get in this format.

This is thought to be caused by a black hole. That makes it pretty cool in my book. BTW, some of my astro buddies have been trying to catch a glimpse of this visually for a while, even with their large dobs, but so far, I don't think they have succeeded. I wonder if anyone has seen this visually? I think the IR output helps it show up on the Mallincam.
