catman161 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Equipment; 200P, NEQ6 Pro, Philips SPC900NC with IR/UV cut filter and TV 2x 2 inch Powermate. Hope you like them, any advice apreciated. These were all taken from my city centre, light polluted back yard.So I thought I would try and have a crack at the moon but I was mortified to discover that there is a spec of dust on the chip of my webcam! It didn't show when I was imaging jupiter but against the moon it sticks out like a sore thumb so to get at least something of the moon I hit tha part of the sensor in the shdows of craters or mountain ridges and went for it anyway. I can clearly see the speck o the sensor when I look at it in the light-any suggestion sfor getting it off woule be welcomed. Anyway the moon shots did not got that weel as I had real trouble ficusing as there was a lot of hazy cloud, it was like looking at the moon underwater!Taken in sharpcap and stacked in registax 5.1 Best 95% of 1500 frames on each.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Thanks pat Was hard as had to try to hide the sod of dust on the camera chip in the shadows of the craters! I nee I figure out how to get that spec off the sensor so I can image some brighter parts of he moon without the horrible black spec in the middle of the frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red dwalf Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 great effort felix, some advice on getting rid of the dust, firstly a little baader wonder fluid on a cotton wool bud, remove the adapter and gently clean the lens. another way is to open i.e. strip the camera and you`ll be able to clean it alot easier, it might sound alittle excessive but it is very easy to do, only need a craft knife and a small philips screw driver, once taken apart you can get full access to the chip. it is very easy to do and only takes 5 minutes.
