After the Friday night frustrations (well, I did enjoy visiting with everybody in the Mt. Pisgah parking lot that night), I didn't expect much Saturday night....
Using Windows Explorer, when I go to http://cleardarksky.com/c/MtPisgah1NCkey.html and click (on the left) "1. Explain color and details when you mouse- ...
Loading Firefox worked. At first-try to see the pop-up, it says change pop-up setting to allow from that site. I did and it does. Cool. I guess it's an...
John I'm using XP and the pop ups are working. Joel ... From: John Chap To: AstroAsheville@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2008 9:05 AM Subject:...
All, Is anyone interested in doing this? I don't think I'll be able to due to prior commitments that weekend. ********************* "I work for a land...
Thanks John, doubles are easy to view from my backyard with the less than pristine skies. Was doing a few last night with my 80mm refractor and got this image...
All, I got a call from a man who is moving and doesn't want to keep his mirror coating machine. I think it used to be used at ENKA/BASF for some kind of...
That image was cropped somewhat - the 80mm Stellarvue for astrophotography leaves something to be desired on the edges (pretty severe elongation of the stars),...
Is this something that a coma corrector or field flattener would correct? These items are something I have no real knowledge of. Greg ... (pretty ... couple ...
That's something I need to look into. Most of the correctors I've seen so far appear to be for SCTs. My 80mm Stellarvue is a relatively inexpensive refractor...
I know what you mean. I need something with the 6" because with it, I also get some oval stars in the outer FOV. However, it is so wide- field that I usually...
Here is a new photo of M-13 I shot 6-4-08. The former image had guiding issues. This is a better image but smaller having been shot through the 6" as opposed...
Greg, Nice image! I noticed that you also captured (in the lower left corner of the image) a galaxy that I enjoy observing -- NGC6207 -- some 55 million+-...
Thanks Bernie and George. I'm learning. Bernie I was excited to find NGC6207 in the image. When I composed I knew it was in the neighborhood and hoped I would...
Well thank you Tom. My astrophotography isn't even in the league with your's but, as a beginner, acquiring a photo that I'm pleased with gives me quite a...
Hi Greg, Keep doing what you are doing and the increasing experience will pay off. Nothing replaces repeated experience and tackling the learning curve...
Skies were clear last night after astronomical twilight although a bright moon was out and transparency wasn't too good - decided to check out a few doubles...
All, Per Heavens-Above, last night the shuttle was scheduled to follow the Space Station across the sky by 48 seconds. Their passes were going to take about...
Got up with my insomnia about 3:15 this morning, looked outside and saw clear skies, although transparency wasn't too good. Decided to set up the 80mm...
George, nice image. I understand this is a difficult object. I know it is quite faint and difficult to observe! Not bad for only 18 minutes of exposure. Now...
Hi Fellow Amateur Astronomers, My wife and I are going to spend the week of June 29 through July 5 in Asheville. We are looking for a possible retirement...
