See you tonight at the meeting. Comet Pojmanski was better at 5:30 this morning than at 6:00. Man, it moves a lot each night! The 15x70 binoc's were much...
John, Have you put together your Binocular mount kit yet? I have almost finished & have found the instructions a bit lacking. I am bringing it tonight &...
Yes, I finished the parallelogram mount. The wood was already cut, but why couldn't they have drilled the holes? It would have been so easy, fast, & accurate...

I got up at 5:00 this morning (Saturday) but the high-density memory- foam pad on the bed created a local gravitational anomoly and pulled my back into the bed...

Saw Comet Pojmanski this morning for the second time in the last week. It was higher in the sky now than a week ago, located in the constellation Delphinus --...
The true FOV for the telescope image of the comet was 98 minutes not degrees! I'm in need of more coffee now. Bernie [Non-text portions of this message have...
I just received this image of Comet Pojmanski from a friend, Sid Leach, whom I met at the Southern Skies Star Party last August in Bolivia. It sure brightens...
Bernie, Is that faint, short, thick tail that goes off at about a 60 degree angle the "split tail" you saw? I would have looked for a split in the narrow tail...
I received the 15mW green "Wicked Laser" pointer a few days ago, but the one they sent was faulty. So I returned it, and I hope to receive a replacement...
I've also had good luck with Howie Glatters SkyPointer for the last 1 1/2 years without any complaints. He advertises them at 5mW but they are more in the 6-9...
I'm forwarding an interesting map oriented database of astronomy clubs, observatories, and planetariums that is just getting started. At this point you can...
Hi John, For some reason, the post from you below did not come in my inbox, but I found it in the message window of the yahoo group. So I'm responding late. I...
Think about this next time you look at M65, M66 and NGC3628 in Leo: See this Astro Photo of the Day: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060309.html or ...
Anybody thinking about getting a digital SLR (DSLR) camera soon? Here's a .pdf file that very vividly shows the low noise of the Nikon D50's chip, compard to...
I've been casually thinking of purchasing a DSLR camera, but I have no idea of what to get. I want it for both terrestrial and celestial use. I also realize...
Bernie, I can confirm the test report's image effect on my D70. The upper left corner red blooming, presumably from some hot electronics behind the main CCD...
Bernie, My preference is for Canon cameras. Price would determine which one to consider. I am happy with the 20D digital, which is being replaced soon by the...

Thanks, Tim. I will give you a call when I get closer to committing to a DSLR camera. Bernie ... From: Tim Barnwell To: AstroAsheville@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Hi Everybody, I'm new in Burnsville and haven't had a chance to attend any meetings yet, but I've been lurking and thought I'd throw in my two cents on this...
Ray, Thanks for the "heads up" on the Canon-HP conflict. Tim: you know anything about this? I tend to like Epson printers, especially for photo printing. At...
Hi, I'm he. Pretty good intelligence network you've got there. It's driving me nuts, too, since it's still in the box in the middle of the living room. I...
