I'd be laughing if I wasn't crying along with you. :-) Seriously, though, I've got a kid in a private university and another one getting ready to go to...
Lanny, prices go to the roof or can stay at ground level. It just depends on the old wallet. Unfortunately mine is small as well. Over the past few years I...

Being on the east coast tonight, I can see a very nice Moon, Venus, and Jupiter setting in the west. Does anyone have a lens on a DSI handy for this fine view?...

Well, I was on my way home from work and had to grab what I had so I snapped this image of the conjunction with my Digital Rebel, not great, but at least it is...
Pretty excited about my first autoguided pics. It's a big step for me. Please send any suggestions. Had a little trouble with contrast on m82. Also I need to...
Patience and eBay can be your friends. I'm getting what "I" consider/hope to be respectable images with a GSO built 6" reflector and mount ($250 on eBay) and a...
Hi Lanny, Â Â Trust me when I say these guys are really good here, so judge yourself by the fun you have learning and growing in the hobby.....the rest will...
Hey Kel, Don't know your schedule, but if I dont have a sales call tonight maybe we can get together for dinner and scope stuff. That is if you are in philly....
Hi all, Here's my my latest M81 from last night. It's only about 45' in each channel (LRGB), but it's about all I have patience for these days. It also shows...
Aint auto guiding great? You've got some nice round stars there, Tim. I'm not sure what to tell you about the burned out cores. I would have thought that you'd...
Hello list of very useful people :-) Haven't written here in a while... but also haven't had the chance to do any imaging lately :-( (It's either snowing,...
Looking good, Dave. Over the years I have found that I have better luck against gradients when the target is higher in the sky (and the neighbor's lights are...
Thanks Nick, I agree. Waiting until things are higher definitely reduces gradients, but I couldn't resist trying it and comparing with the previous night's...
Hi Chris; You are doing the right thing by saving in RAW fits. All the color info is there. You have to debayer. Check out my procedure in message #60642 Chuck...

Hi Chris, You are correct - Fits files must be processed to yield a color image. There is a file corresponding to each element of a color image, one for red,...
Tom, Here's something weird: "There is a file corresponding to each element of a color image, one for red, one for green, one for blue, and one for the...
Chris, It sounds like you have the "Save Proc... > File Type" set to Fits3P. Fits3P files merge the RGB fits files into one special non-standard Fits file. ...
Hey Chuck... Eureka! "Then I make a new group out of those and split color" There's why I don't have seperate color files :-) Thanks for pointing out the key...
Right on, Tom, Chuck's original post about this also mentions splitting. Apparently even ASIP can handle this! :-) Time to go nuts and oh, time to set myself...
Since seeing was really good last night I thought that I would retake M1. This time I made 2 minute subs, 52 of them instead the 4 minute subs in the previous...
Hi Nor, I really like the photo. Have you ever reversed the scopes and used the 8" for guiding and th 80mm for imaging? Steve ... retake M1. ... subs in the ...
Hi all, Quite some time ago I got tired of ruining my light frames by having Envisage auto-subtract dark frames only to find out I had a bad dark frame. So I...
Just to throw some kudos to Dave, this is the coolest time-saver ever! My DSI drops a few degrees through the night (cooled, but it's an open-loop TEC). Like...
