I managed to get almost 4 hours total of that edge on galaxy in Draco over these last couple clear nights. Every exposure is different, but normalization of...
Thanks Chris You know, the over-optimistic astronomer might actually say... In Anchorage, you can do deep sky up until the beginning of May. Since that's 45...
Hi Mike, Excellent galaxy photo. I keep thinking that the darkness is gone and you keep posting great pictures. I need to get out the old scope. I'm finally...
That sure sounds like fun Tom! I wish I were there to help! I would especially love to see through your new Lunt h-alpha solar telescope with your new...
Tom, A couple of years ago, for a couple of years in a row, myself and Chris would set our solar scopes during the Summer Solstice AWAKE Festival that's held...
And Doris would print up a bunch of handouts to give to people that told them about the ERNC and CCSC winter astro presentations, the AlaskanAstronomy Yahoo...
The Summer Solstice AWAKE Festival sounds prefect. I'll put it on my calendar and plan to be there. This will give me some time to get the hang of some of my...
Scott- My wife, an AWAIC board member, says the Solstice Festival is definitely 6/19 - 6/20. I think she signed me up to cook burgers or something. See you...
Rich, Thanks for the confirmation. I'll get with the Imaginarium and ask for permission for a few of us to set up scopes near their set-up. If your wife is a...
I have a 6" Astro Physics refractor and an H alpha filter that works very well with it. This combo provides spectacular views of the Sun. I set it up several...

Another M101: http://www.pbase.com/mclemens1969/image/111641548/original That is > 80 frames of M101 combined. Unfortunately 70 of those 80 frames were shot...
http://www.scopenews.com/M571x1.jpg From last night, 72 minutes of M57 in the blue skies. Flat frames are essential, the bright sky background reveals every...
Stop that! Stop it right now! If you actually manage to image all summer long, or at noon or something, we'll lose our ability to moan and act astro-deprived...
Hi Rich Antares might be setting the bar a little high. Or... low... My planetarium says the best time would be July, looking 1 degree above the horizon, ...
Scott, Did you get permission from the Imaginarium? Should we setup any kind of schedule? ...who plans to attend Friday, who plans to attend Saturday? Or...
Hi Brett and Group: I think a schedule is a great idea. I'm planning on going down on Saturday if the sun is out. Looking at the forecast it looks like a...
Doris is updating the handouts we used in years past and she will be sending you the PDF's. Wish I could be there! Don't forget your compass and bubble level...
Hi Chris: The new Bosma mount is really cool. I'm still learning how to use the hand controller but the mount is sure more than I expected. How is the Mini...
I have played with the iOptron CubePro and it seems to be a fairly solid little GOTO mount but I am STILL waiting for clear skies here to get it really wrung...
