Solar Imaging

Solar imaging requires short exposure times and the use of a solar filter or dedicated solar scope (Figure 17).

Terrestrial Imaging

Similar to Lunar, Solar and Planetary imaging, terrestrial imaging requires short exposure times.

Utility software such as HandyAVI can be used to detect motion and hence automatically record detected objects when user is not present (Figure 18).

Tips

Focusing

Image Processing Software such as RegiStax, AviStack and MaximDL can Align and Stack (combine) hundreds of individual images contained within your AVI into a single resultant image to help reduce noise and atmospheric effects and also perform some additional image processing to bring out subtle details or to make the image appear more pleasing overall.

Utility Software

Utility programs such as HandyAVI and UFO Capture can track and detect motion from meteors and atmospheric phenomena and automatically save, email and FTP images and movie files to a website.

HandyAVI also has features to allow time lapse photography and stop motion animation.

One of the hardest things to do in planetary imaging is achieving good focus. You can make this process easier by simply watching the Live Video window to focus. Depending upon the viewing conditions you may notice that the image goes in and out of focus, this is due to viewing conditions. This is to be expected and one of the reasons why post processing software can bring out the best in your captured images. Focus as best as possible with the average frame being at best focus to ensure more in focus frames than out of focus. Image processing software can then be used to select the best frames to combine for best results and can also reject the poorest frames.

Refocus often throughout your imaging session. This ensures at least some of your images will have an excellent focus. It is also not uncommon for telescope movements to alter the focus slightly, so be sure to refocus for any new astro- imaging targets.

Choosing a Site for Astro-Imaging

Once you have a focused image, you may find your image shifting and washed out. This can be caused by many environmental factors. Poor seeing (movement of molecules in the air, such as heat rising) and poor transparency (moisture, smoke, or other sky contaminants) will all serve to reduce image quality. That is
