For anyone who is building or thinking about building a longer focus Newtonian I currently have two finished mirrors available. An 8" F/7.1 (full thickness...

Here's a link to a summary of last night's tinkering... http://www.zianet.com/csterlin/20071101/index.html These were captured from my back yard with an Orion...
... Wow. I cannot get over the level of detail your tease out of those images. Nils is right; you get the impression they were taken in close orbit and not...
I caught a quick image of comet Holmes early tonight. This is a six minute exposure. R=12x10sec, G=12x10sec and B=12x10sec all unguided with the ST7 through...
Hi Nils, All bits are useful at this stage! I think a price point well under 4K is possable. See my response to Dave for more details on current thinking. Tony...
Hi Dave, That's ok, those numbers give a good range to think about. Right now I'm thinking of something fairly small with an aperture between 4" and 6". The...

Jerry, Seems like I recall you making or having made a dovetail plate for one of your mounts. If that's right, I'm needing one compatible with a CGE mount...
Yes I made one for my GM8. Its not perfect but it works and cost less than purchasing one. What do you have in mind? _____ From: ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com...
Chuck, What exposure values do you use for these images? Tony ... From: Chuck Sterling To: ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2007 5:23...
We're finally home and last night before hitting the sack after almost 24 hours of travel, Pat and I had a look at Comet Holmes. This was the first time I...
... <snip> I want to make two or three more-or-less universal ones that I can keep attached to whichever scope and be able to switch scopes without fiddling...
The camera is a ToUCam Pro, modified by Steve but in this case used in standard mode. These were done at 1/1000 second to reduce blurring. I had used 1/500 on ...
The shot I posted last week was a 30-second exposure with a Canon XTi at prime focus through a 100mm f/6 Orion refractor, unguided but tracking. Good to be...
Good to have you & Pat back here in ordinary ol' Las Cruces, George! So you haven't been able to keep up with your comet-observing, huh...well, I would...
Welcome home George & Pat! I'm sure you had a great time on your travels to Europe, but as they say -- "There's no place like Home." Glad you had a chance to...
George, What do you mean "if I can get everything setup" ? I thought you had an observatory. Has it come to the point were you need help pushing the Easy...
It looks like the weather may make a turn for the worse on Saturday, our normal DSO night. I think we should look at going out either tomorrow or Friday...
I'm definately up for a road trip. Thursday would work nicely for me. I might be up for Friday as well. Dave ... From: Steve Barkes <nm_astrnmr@...> It...
Friday is my choice - I'm committed to the WSS Science Fair Thurday evening. Shouldn't these questions be spread to the regular aslcnm list also? Nils ... ...
