Hi Marco -
Your film shot of the Saturn/M1 conjunction is the best film image of the
event I've seen. Philip Perkins CCD image ranks up at the top in the CCD
world. Great job on it!
Good to see some more 400F being shot. It did a great job on your
southern sky images. Your Rho shot is wonderful! Did you doing
any smoothing on the image or was it the fact you had 4 trans of the 400F?
I know when I stacked three 400F trans, the grain was almost non-existent.
Only if you really pushed the curves did the grain start to become noticeable,
but even then it was far less than Supra 400, PJ400 etc....

Dear friends, after a looong absence eventually I
am back in the list. Even if I didn't participate during last months to any
discussion I did during this time some new works with my instrument.
Tonight I uploaded a new restyled version of my page with a lot of new
shots taken from Namibia (my trip of last summer) and some recent good job
taken from my usual site in Italy (in particular a good shot of last
January Crab/Saturn conjunction visible under "Solar System" section).
Basically I kept only few shots of the former work. I am currently working
on the many other shots I took in Namibia of the southern sky and I will
reprocess most of the shots I took during last years (no longer visible in
my site) but this task is so time consuming (and I don't have much time
anymore to put on it) that I think it will take some months to be
completed. In a near future also I am confident to be able to complete also
the "Articles" "Author" sections of the page. My site is always at the same
URL: http://www.astrosurf.com/lorenzi. I
decided to keep the size of the pictures quite "generous", even if it meant
having images up to 200KB in size. Since I am still working on the site
every comment from you is particularly appreciated. Here are some of the
new shots I uploaded under the different galleries: SOUTHERN SKY -
TELESCOPE: all pictures are new, in particular I am particular happy with
the mosaic of Eta Carinae, Rho Ophiuchi, Lagoon nebula and with the shots
of the Tarantula nebula, B86 and Omega Centaury SOUTHERN SKY - LARGE FIELD:
In particular I like the result I got of the Southern Cross and the
impressive fish-eye view of the whole central Milky Way NORTHERN SKY -
TELESCOPE: in the Summer/Fall and Winter/Spring sections I particularly
like IC4592 in Scorpius beside the other shots from the Namibian pristine
sky (M16, M17)...
Clear sky to everybody Marco
Lorenzi
