Didn't get to a dark sky site last night, but set up in my backyard. Spent a good part of the afternoon putting the 10" LX90 on a wedge (only one trip to the...

Looks like you're well on your way George! I just got my new laptop I ordered with high-capacity battery and bare basics software so I'll have plenty of...
George , Didn't you get a DSI Imager with your scope? If you did , It also autoguides. Is their a reason you decided on the Orion model over the DSI imager? ...

George, do you have the Orion Starshoot AUTOGUIDER? Or is it a Solar System Imager, or is it a DSI? If it is the autoguider, does it require a GPUSB cable...
Yeah , I've read that was a problem. Meade has been slow at making a patch. Maybe they will get of there #### and get a patch out . ... From: George P. To:...

Nice image George. You're starting to get the spiral in M81. You also captured NGC 3077. Look for the little fuzzy in lower right. I think the correct NGC #...
Thanks Greg, yes, from cdc and Stellarium, that looks like it should be NGC-3077. Sure need some dark skies - hopefully I'll get to the early March Stargaze. ...
That happened to me back in Nov. I WAS out back observing when it happened and while I have a fairly dark sky, the lack of steetlights and other IN-security...
My dogs got me up about 1:30 this morning, took them outside, saw that the moon had set and skies were clear, so I set up the small refractor for a quick...

Turned the tables on my dogs this morning - I woke them up at 4:00 am to go outside with me. I'm impatient to try out a new configuration on my guide scope...
Another nice one George. That 200mm seems to be working for you. I hope to get some shots of the lunar eclipse tonight...weather permitting. Greg ... am to ......
