Guys I changed the colours on my M51 pic. I don't know what colour it's supposed to be. Everyone's is totally different! I went with Nick's advice and I like...
I think it looks pretty good! A little noisy but overall a good image. Whenever I'm on the fence about the color of an object I always check Rob Gendler's...
Much better. As Matt mentioned, using a reference image is a pretty good idea because you can get a good idea of how it should look like and how far off you...
Hiya Matt Thanks for the comment! I'm a tad less happy with it after looking @ Rob's though :o) Awesome! Re the noise, I've tried to smooth it out but I...
Hi, Each time you double the number of stacked subs the signal to noise ratio will increase by 1.4x, often this is confused with going "deeper" or in other...
Hi All, Week before last I was contacted by a reporter for the Claremore Progress, the local newspaper were I live, and was ask if they could do an article on...
Matt, Did he make a mistake about "$40,000" investment ? Frank From: Matt Taylor Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2008 8:37 AM To: Meade-DSI-Advanced@yahoogroups.com ...
That's really cool, Matt! But that pic of the guy reading the paper in the upper left hand corner scares me a little:) Is he a neighbor of yours? Derek ... ...
Kinda, but not really. If I add up (estimate) everything I currently have, from computers & software to telescopes & accessories including the observatory the...

Thanks Darrick! I tried to get as much about how important dark sky is into the article as I could. We spoke a lot more about that than the article indicates....
Hi, Matt, That is a nice article. Like everything about our mutual hobby, the cost of your equipment is astronomical!!! LOL Thanks for all the assistance you...
Hi guys, Well I am finally on my way with my pier. I added some photos in my folder in the photo section. I do have a question. If you look at the image with...
Steve..I wouls suggest buying a couple blocks of aluminum from your localmetal supply house for ach sideof the mount and a bar to go across... then use a bolt...
Hey Steve, I'm not sure I understand how the bracket attaches the mount to the pier. Normally, in all the piers I've seen, there is a plate that is spaced...
Matt, I just may be doing everything wrong or backwards... In the image the steel plate you see is the bottom of the top plate. I cut a 2" hole in the steel...
Steve looking at the height of your mount..I am having thoughts that the 1/2" rods may give you too much sway and rotational flex... Dave ... From: Steve To:...
Steve the mount bracket MAY work..but it looks a tad too light... typically these stamped brackets are not too strong and it will bend for sure as you tighten...
Dave, I know the rods are a bit long. Just didnt get to the point of making them smaller. I was thinking about 3-4 inches. So I can get under if I want to take...
Matt, Very nice article, I enjoyed reading it. I like the fact that more emphasis was put on dark skies. I also forwarded it to a few people i know that are...
Steve, Glad to know you're making progress. I don't know, I was under the impression that someone built pier plates designed for the LXD 75. Is that not the...
Nick, I am just a glutten for punishment and need instant satisfaction! I saw a few mounts out there, but I just wanted to try it myself and see if I could do...
I would use a short, 2" long, piece of 2"ID pipe with a cap. Put a hole in the center of the cap for the mount bolt. From: Steve Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2008...
