Astro asheville, I have been having a problem with photos i have been taking of constellations on a fixed tripod. I am using a 35mm camera and using the bulb...
Joel, I wish Yahoo let the photos be stored at greater resolution. The dots look too big for it to be caused only by using the lens aperture wide open. I'm...
All, I just found out I'll have to leave the meeting at 6:30 on Thursday. I'll have to get one of you guys to lock up whe you're through. Sorry. John Chappell...
Joel, Bring in a full-resolution file of your images to the meeting tomorrow evening. Tim will be here; he knows more about it than I do. We can look at them...
My guess is that John hit the nail on the head concerning your questions about your photos. It seems to me, from what I can see, that the image is slightly...
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 ...
Joel, For an idea of how many stars you will capture w/400 ISO film: the image of Comet Hale-Bopp on the club's home page was made w/a 50mm lens open to f2.8,...
May Sky for 2007 is on the web site: http://www.astroasheville.org/May2007.htm The big item for the night of the star gaze (May 18) is a transit of Io & it's...
A Jovian moon event very similar to what will happen on the night of the May 18th star gaze will also occur this Thurday morning, beginning with the transit of...
I know there's some folks out there (BRUCE!) thinkg of BIG BINOC's, so I'm throwing this out there. I've not used them and have no idea if they work well: ...
Universal Astronomics has the sturdiest. They had some set up at MASP 5 or 6 years ago. Universal Astronomics Products At Anacortes Telescope & Wild Bird...
Hi John, It was good to talk with you the other day. The Peterson Engineering links perked my interest in the 28x110 binoc. I have the "inside track" on one of...
I noticed that messages that were written almost 48 hours ago have not yet been posted on the "Home" or "Messages" pages here at Yahoo. They have already come...
The 1st International Sidewalk Astronomy Night is this Saturday - May 19, 2007. The sidewalk astronomy movement began in the "70s" in the San Francisco Bay...
I'm glad that you will come with the 18". The globulars will dazzle! We could park right there at Pack Square. I'd get there about 8 p.m., considering it...
Here's some on-going happenings on Jupiter: http://jupiter.cstoneind.com/ Notice the elongated shadow of Ganymede because it's falling so close to Jupiter's...
Bernie & Butch, I wish I could join in, but Katie & I will be getting ready for a track day in SC on Monday (It will be her first!). We already won't have time...
Is the stargaze still on at Pisgah for Friday night. I heard there was talk of moving it to Saturday night to catch the Iridium flare. Or, will the sidewalk...
It's my belief that both the Friday night Pisgah stargaze and the Saturday night sidewalk event at Pack Place will both occur. So it's a double night weekend....
Greg, I'm going to see what the weather is doing for the weekend . Sat nites are better for you, right? If its good all weekend Ill go fri and sat. Lets see...
It's set up for us to use the expanded brick promenade in front of Pack Place Saturday night, May 19th -- the first International Sidewalk Astronomy Night....
Bernie, You can set the program "Where is M13" to show only M3,M13,M44 then tell it to "print". It will print the galaxy-location display for each of the 3...
