Images taken using a Mallincam VSS color video camera on a Celestron Nexstar 11 GPS with and without the Hyperstar focal reducer.

April 9th and 14th shots taken through the Hyperstar, no moon, nice clear nights. Brighter clusters taken at 128x Sense Up. Fainter clusters and bright nebulae Hyper normal mode, roughly 6 second exposure. Faint nebulae and galaxies taken at Hyper 2x, roughly 12 second exposure. Moon image taken from a 30 second AVI capture at 1/8000 stacked in Registax. On the 14th I bumped up the Hyper Normal exposure to 9 seconds, and a few Hyper 2x shots were therefore 18 sec. Sky glow makes anything but near zenith shots pointless at 18 seconds and F/2.

April 7 shots with a Celestron f/6.3 focal reducer and the Mallincam both with and without the MFR-3. This yielded a range of F-ratios from roughly F/4-F/6.

March 27 shots taken at various F-ratios from F/6.5 to F/10, typically 30-40 frames stacked in Maxim DL and processed in Photoshop.

Earlier shots largely with the Hyperstar, yielding roughly F/2.0, same processing. Oldest shots are using the MFR-3 focal reducer and single direct shots, no stacking or processing at all.
