Tim & John What do you all think about having a list of 3 or more cellestial objects each month that the yahoo group can observe. This would help me and other...
Joel, Sure, I'll see if I can come up with some targets this weekend. You have the 90mm Mac/Cass, right? John C ... cellestial objects each month that the...
John Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have the 90mm. I tried to make it to this past weeks meeting but I had the days mixed up. Guess I should have checked the...
Joel, Remind me right before the next meeting & I'll bring the barndoor tracker that I used to take the photo of Hale-Bopp that's on the web site home page, at...
Monte, I had to run out just before the meeting started. By the time I had gotten back, well after 6:00pm, Butch, Nancy, Phillip, and Bernie had gotten Doug to...
Joel, You've given me the push to update the Monthly Sky for April 2007. It has info for the next star gaze (April 20) and the deep sky objects are 3 binary...
John, Sounds good. Ill do some reading up on thease type of star systems. One good thing I like about the Autostar system that controls my scope is that if the...
Astroasheville, I just finished looking for the systems that the club has posted on their website. On my charts Tau Hydrae 1 was listed. I found the others by...
Joel, I looked in the Naval Observatory "Washington Double Star Catalog" CD, but it doesn't have an orbit image of any of this month's three double star...
There is an abundance of double stars in the May issue of Sky & Telescope: 1. Page 60: Gamma Virginis (aka Porrima) is in a very eccentric orbit and just...

Joel, Is Greg on this e-group? Greg, are you here? At the last star gaze you were asking about autoguiding. PhD Guiding seems to be an easy and popular...

Greg, The photo is a full frame shot. My lens does not have a infinity setting. But the photo was shot with the lens set to manual. Focus was done thru the...
John, How did you determine the iridium flare predictions for May 18th and 19th so far in advance? The heavens-above.com website only shows 7 days in advance....
Bernie, From the main page pick Iridium flares for next 7 days, then from that page pick "next" in the upper right corner and it will advance by one week at a...
Thanks, John. It appears you can go months into the future! Bernie ... From: John C To: AstroAsheville@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, May 04, 2007 8:59 AM ...
