Guest StevenWhatley Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 It came to my attention quite how many ED80 lovers there were amongst us at EMS3, I'm wondering about setting up a group target project that we all can combine our data to see what the outcome would be.. Thoughts ??? Or ideas ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Sounds interesting? How would we decide on a target? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Great Idea, I am not an imager, my bent is IT. If there are several of you, you will need to sort out some shared area with a common id & password. Would suggest dropbox. If I can help don't hesitate to ask.

Guest StevenWhatley Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I suppose everyone that's up for it to have a vote and we draw from a hat.. We can say maybe no more than 1hours data from each person so then it's not taking up to much time from people's usual target missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 you may need more data than that unless there are more ED80's than i think and of course assuming all your cameras are similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) From memory andy laing (andyboy1970) did some comined imaging on M27, using two diffeent nights imaging and types of data. It may be worth dropping him a pm. Edited October 28, 2014 by Tweedledum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 yes combining different nights/telescopes and cameras can be done with registar and others (not registax) as long as you have enough grunt in the PC I've done ccd and dslr combined in the past and most on here regularly do several nights subs for one image I would suggest something out of the murk and high enough to reduce guiding errors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Also circumpolar so it can be done any time of the year? What's Registar Steve?? Edited October 29, 2014 by Ron Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan the Plumber Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Also circumpolar so it can be done any time of the year? What's Registar Steve?? Software that is about£150 but will align and allow different camera scope sizes to be aligned I also have ad ed80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyaardvark Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) I may also be up for being involved in this. Interesting ibbo. Can registax handle data from different size sensors and stack them? Edited October 29, 2014 by Johnnyaardvark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 registar is the one that handles that not registax i think two different softwares Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+RonC Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 If Canon DSLR's were used, would that solve a probem? Also whether or not Flatteners/Reducers are used? Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StevenWhatley Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) It would have to be as simple as possible for the first effort i think and then maybe build up to mixing camera types and reducers ect. Maybe just an ED80 and a DSLR to start with.. I'm just trying to not over complicate it to begin with, but I'm glad it's tickled people's interest, just need to find a target any ideas on that area folks..

Guest Tweedledum Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Registar is $149 (£100 roughly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StevenWhatley Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 It's not massively expensive then.. Might be a good investment at some stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 If you have a designated PC with enough grunt, then this could be the way, you can also get a second licence for another pc so it may be a viable option for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldfruit Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Steven, as you know I am using an ED80 with the same reducer as you and a Canon 1000d so would be happy to discuss such a project with you when I return from my holiday, assuming you have no takers before.
