Processed capture using the original neximage device with Registax 6 which is no longer saving the zoomed image for some reason so this is as captured.

I just received the new model but no chances to try it out yet.......I'm obviously hoping it's better than the original!

So it seems that IC capture is both good and bad when it comes to this camera. Good in that it gives you lots of control optons but now that I have seen it clear out all the settings I had figured out to make it work correctly just do to hybernation mode I am not so happy with it.

The old Neximage was a pretty good entry level camera...same with the SPC900. Then there's the capture program, the stacking program, and the graphics editor. Lots to learn. You either love it or you bail. I'm loving it, but getting used to learning curves. Still looking for a forum for the Neximage 5, not a lot out there so far.

I think I had finally gotten a handle on the dang capture program when the computer went into hybernate mode and wiped it all out. I was on a roll last night since the moon was out there and the winds were out of a direction where I could get some relief from it as well. I captured this with my DBK 21au618 that I finally managed to get after waiting months due to a crazy store with IC before it went belly up on the restart. I had an ir blocking filter on the nose piece for this capture.

Very good application, excellent support, ongoing innovation and improvement.

I have been having so much fun with that modded camera that I haven't done anything with my other imagers in a long time. I entered a picture of the Bubble in this months beginner sketch/image contest, I think it turned out really good. Post Extras:       Pages: 1
