Hi Dave Yes, this and last year have been unique for southern BC for great weather. As I'm Chilliwack born and raised in South Surrey, (White Rock), which due...

Hi Richard Yes, Jim and I are setting up shop in the same place as last year. We will arrive Monday, elbowing our way to plant our stakes. Looking forward to...
Dear Folks, It has been too cloudy to report on significant observations, but yesterday Linda and I took an astronomy-related day trip with some friends. Early...
... I'm guessing you mean the clock-history pages. And, err: no. Noone yet has asked me for a clear sky clock in the area. I'd need the lat/long of a...
Hi Attilla Actually there are a number of clear sky clocks for the area, (Sehgal Observatory is one) at N49.016, W119.385. I was wondering if your program...
Last night I observed for about 2 hours in my backyard. It was a clear nigh with reasonable visibility. My main objective was to test-out my modified CI-700...

If we snow birds can take over Florida, we can take over Cottonwood. Everybody ready, okay, let go! Is there no place in Canada we can actually get some good...
Rol; Very detailed report... Regarding the wires - get some split wire loom from the auto section of Canadian Tire - works great to keep wires bundled together...
... Thanks, Len. Not sure what split wire loom consists of, but will look around and ask at Crappy Tire. By your description, sounds very useful for a person...
Hi Roland, Split wire loom is a plastic tube that is split along one side. The wires you care about are put in the tube through the split. If you can't find...
... Good and accurate description, Bob. Turns out I have seen that stuff before, and even used it to simplify music recording systems in the past. Kind of you...
... Paul, I've noticed your Andromeda images. You're really getting there. Glad to see you're looking into good supporting systems such as GOTO and accurate...
... Hi Roland, I think you'll get tired of changing batteries. I switched to an ac adapter soon after getting my Magellan (about 5 years ago) when the first...
... Hello Rolf, Sounds like a really good idea. Already own a larger deep-cycle 12V battery, as well as a 120-V inverter for potential field use, so to follow...
Anyone see or image the new supernova ( mag 11.2 ) in NGC2403 ? At magnitude 11.2, most people should be able to detect it visually, and also, it should fairly...
... Hi, I just soldered in the ac adapter to the 9V terminals. I figured I would be much more likely to have access to 120 vac, even in the field, than to a...
Hi Roland, Thanks for the heads-up on the supernova. I will definitely look and maybe image next clear night. When I connected my DSC to 12 V (they didn't have...

Attilla, Thats great news about the servocat, did you also opt to replace the Skycommander with that new Argonavis unit? Can hardly wait to see it in action!...
Attilla, I've got a copy but I've also got some house guests visiting from Oregon (I think they brought more crappy weather!) I'll bring the Big Lebowski to...
