Hi kevinbm13, What about moderating a little bit your group in regard to SPAM ? If you have no time I would say just close this group. saludos Rainer PS As...
Sorry folks, have been out of pocket and country for a short stint. This is first time this has happened, but will appoint another owner and/or moderator. ...
Folks, Again, sincere apology for recent SPAM attack. We have never really had that happen before in this group, despite me being out of the country or out of...
Hi Kevin, IMO you need to set group settings so that all new member posts are moderated. Then after a reasonable topic specific posts is made, the new member...
The spammer is gone -- my apologies for not canning the spam earlier. I agree that setting up to have new members moderated is a good idea. It's up to Kevin to...

These sound interesting, Richard. Does anyone else here have experience with the Baader filters? I note that they've also come out with 10nm H-b, S-II and...
Baader also supply an 8nm OIII, but it has to be used with an IR Blocker. Not a problem for some, a major nuisance for others. I still haven't gotten around to...
Hi Gerd, I purchased the ATIK filter drawer because of the low cost. The item worked ok for 1-1/4" filters, but there were some issues. The first problem is...
Gerd is a member of the ccd-imaging-technology group but I believe he has left this group [original message deleted for brevity] [Non-text portions of this...
Hi Don, no, I'm not going to follow Gerd around. My post was more for the group, feedback on my experience with a couple of astro filter products. BTW, it...
Hi, Richard, understand. I think Gerd's decision was more than just spammers were not controlled because Kevin was busy. I think the group has pretty much...
Hi Don, IMO astro filters have typically been used by amateur astronomers for making pretty photos. It doesn't help advance the cause when a principal of SBIG...
All good points. For example, one new thing in imaging is the pioneering work that Jay GaBany is doing to define extended loops and tidal tails in galaxies....
I'll run with this a bit, hopefully it will be understood. I started this in the AM and hacked away as time allowed. More of a collection of thoughts really...
To be honest, I'm not even sure why I am a part of this group. I bought what I thought were the best filters money can buy only to find out that they are no...
Well reasoned. Thanks for taking the time to offer your thoughts. I guess the first question to ask is whether you want vendors to participate in the group in...
"How to we handle the rants that you just saw posted?" This is EXACTLY what I mean. Anyone who has a dissenting opinion is simply "ranting". How about...
Gentleman, I didn't realize a can opener was stuck to my pants when I got to the office this morning. Somehow it was sent as an attachment with my post Lol -...
OK, got a few minutes here. A reply is very difficult with so many facets on the table. Perhaps I can address these a few at a time rather than producing a...
Part 2, What is the difference between a rant and dialog (debate)? Simply stated, "it's not what you say, but how you say it" and "what did you bring as...
