Hello everyone, I'm new here. I live in portugal and I made some funny shots of comets, asteroids and rendez-vous between them! I use a Tak Apo refractor and a...
Hello Paulo, ... You have to go through each tab of the config settings. Especially the focal length, orientation and pixel size have to match reasonably well....
All, I am stacking images and have a problem there. I live under very light-polluted skies. I use a FLI camera read out at 16 bit, storing FITS images. When I...
... Yes. Astrometrica internally stores all images as 16 bit data. It can read 32 bit FITS images, but it will clip the data values above 65535 already when...
Herbert, thanks this indeed helps. Now I know why I have the problem - I didn't flat field (still have problems getting a good flat field) and I have a filter...
Thanks Bernd. I will post again when I have all that figured out. It seems really cool. Regards, paulo--- In Astrometrica@yahoogroups.com, Bernd Brinkmann ... ...
Hello again, could anyone tell me what I need to acomplish to have a MPC code? Because I think you will need one if you discover a new rock out there....is...
Yes, you need a MPC Code, you must read this MPC link:.... http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/iau/info/Astrometry.html The basic requirement is take two measures of...
Thanks Juan. I will try that as soon I have my new CCd camera. Saludos, paulo--- In Astrometrica@yahoogroups.com, "Juan Antonio Henríquez ... 400- ... ...
Been through that twice - successfully. Detailed instructions are on the MPC website: http://www.cfa.harvards.edu/iau/info/astrometry.html Basically, you have...
I went and imaged several main belt MP's in the higher numbers, 500+ once I got what I considered reliable data, I used the Astrometrica submission to send to...
Thanks, I will try that soon. I went to mag 19.2 last 23Dec2008. I made a GIF of (20106)Morton "cruising" near M33 that night. Of course I made this just for...
I'm using a TakFS102NSV @ f/6.2 + mod. Canon 40D on a ATLAS EQmod mount guided through a Tak FS60C\@ f/6.2 + QHY5 + phd. Nebulosity for preprocessing and Adobe...
... No *new* observatory code is needed to submit astrometry to the MPC. There is "247 Roving Observer" and possibly new discoveries can be submitted with this...
Thank you Reiner, I have forget the Roving Observer code... Paulo, I obtain my Code with an Canon DSLR (350D=Rebel XT).... Now I have an SBIG ST-9, but If you...
... AFAIK, the roving observer format is for mobile observing stations. If you have a fixed observing place (i.e., an observtaory), the MPC would probably want...
... That's correct. If you have a fixed site, you're expected to apply for an observatory code according to the guidelines in the on-line Guide to Minor Body...
Gareth, This is depressing news. What is the typical source of funding for your work at MPC? Donation? Government grants? Just last night I finished an...
Hi all, I just received my Observatory code from the MPC: B85 . Thanks to the Astrometrica software it was not that difficult to accomplish. It has taken some...
Better late than never. Congratulations. LN ... From: Astrometrica@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Astrometrica@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Albert van Duin Sent:...
Hello everyone, sorry for this posting, which is a bit off-topic. But as some of you know, I am involved in the organization of the "Central European Deepsky...
Hello Herbert, ... the time of the conference is a pitty. It collides with the "100 h of Astronomy" of the IYA 2009 and with the "Astronomietag" in Germany. I...
... Sorry, this was our intention. 100 hours of astronomy, 50 hours of deepsky imaging. :-) I would guess that most local clubs will survive this week- end...
This seems to be a rather quiet group but I will take a shot at asking for some suggestions. Firstly let me introduce myself. My name is David Birmingham and I...
A possibly heretical question. I am currently recording this asteroid via low-light video camera. Advantage is that I am time-stamping each video frame with a...
Hi Dave, Steve Quirk and I have done this with a Mintron and KIWI time stamp. He got his observatory code from such obs. Give me a call. Cheers, Rob ...
