Great images!!! I just purchased the Vespera II and can't wait to experiment with it. Unfortunately the full moon / weather aren't cooperating. What is the most important / surprising thing you have learned so far about the Vespera? Again, GREAT images!
You have to be patient and give the scope time to collect the photons. And avoid choosing objects that are above bright light sources. Also take note of where the objects are in the sky. Get a compass and be aware of where the scope will be pointing. No point choosing an object that's going to disappear in half hour behind your rooftop or a tree. You will need a noise reduction app to get the quality of my images. And images need to be cropped to eliminate any light pollution that creeps in to the corners.
Thanks for the quick answer! Did you use any of the Vaonis filters? And did you post process your images, or are you showing them straight out of the scope? Thanks!
I dont own or use filters yet. All Astro images suffer from varying degrees of camera noise, so I use the Topaz program to eliminate the noise. I don't use Photoshop. I simply edit the images using my Apple computers basic photo editing program. Those images are all stacked JPEGs as done by the telescope.
Great images :) what Bortle sky are you shooting under? How much Integration rime on average do you need for your images? Thinking about buying a Vespera II myself :)
Thankyou. I live in a suburban bortle 6 area. The telescope will tell you the Minimum recommended time to image each target. I usually give each about half an hour more than those times. But of course the clouds can limit how much time you get on each one. It works very well, always bringing each target into focus right in the center. And even faint objects show on the screen within 1 minute.
