Hello everyone...

I have attached 3 image sets, one from Feb 29 and 2 from March 1.  All 
were taken with the 30cm SCT @ f24 and the ATK-1HS camera.  The filters 
used in each set are Schuler Luminance, Red, Blue, IR, and UV with a 
Custom Scientific Methane bandpass filter.  The luminance is not IR 
blocked.  Image capture via K3CCD and processed in Registax2.

There are 3 images in the Feb 29 set.  There is are IR and Red filtered 
images taken in 352x288 mode as well as a red image in 640x480 mode.  I 
did not capture full sequences in any order that night due to the fact I 
was testing various settings and have presented some of the better 
frames from the night.  There was also some intermittent high cirrus 
cloud which softened some of the video sequences.

The two sets of multi-spectral images from March 1 cover 03:44 to 04:05 
UT in 320x240 mode and a second sequence covers 04:07 to 04:27 UT in 
352x288 mode.  Seeing was good and I was happy to get decent focus in 
the blue and UV.  A R(G)B and MIU colour images were created form the 
filtered images.

The second set of images from March 1 shows the resolution of the camera 
in 320x240, 352x288, and 640x480 modes.  IR filtered images were used 
for the comparison.  The 352x288 mode image shows the 'pixelation' I 
referred to in the Feb 27 images.

Please forward any questions/comments.

Thanks,
Brian
