That's great; thanks very much. It looks like they have good info on the relay box. ditto on the dinner. -Rolf ... that ... way ... lx200 ... software. ... ...
Paul; Though I have modified a few webcams for long exposure, and imaged with them, I actually have limited experience using a webcam for guiding. I did try...
My chip needs to be a wee bit bigger to totally capture this galaxy in one go. I really should have done a mosaic but I am the minute man and not the 15 hour...
Hi Albert, Very nice job! You are beginning to master the new equipment. After this weekend you will be dangerous. I can see the coma(?) that you are talking...
Bob, What you're seeing in the top right hand corner is a combination of pinched optics and guider error. The curvature can only be seen when using a large...
Hi Albert, I am not familiar with pinch optics. Do you mean that as the scope get's colder pressure is being applied to the cells due to contaction of metal?...
Michel, Yes this is the problem I'm referring to. The result is triangular stars. I think it affects people less visually because most observers don't have...
Gee Albert, Haven't you learned that when you go cheap, your images pay the price? I could'a sworn there was someone in this group that kept on going on and on...
Thanks for the info. Machined in what way? How does televue do it? Or William optics? I guess you have to create a gap in betwen the lens and tube, but what ...
... when ... great ... Hi Albert, I'll buy the guiding error part, but I'm not so sure I understand the "pinched optics". Unless you mean that the lens is not...
Rolf, My problem does affect all the stars. It's very hard to see in my image (my intent) but if you saw a single frame unprocessed you'd see the problem...
Hi all, Got up this am at 3:30 to see if the CSC would be right about good seeing. It was maybe slightly above average (5-6/10) but since I was up I decided to...
Very, very nice Albert, impressive what you've done. Thank you for sharing. -Jim ... From: Albert Saikaley [mailto:albert.saikaley@...] Sent: Thursday,...

Wow, what a coincidence, I got up at 3:30 too (on Wednesday)! You won't catch me doing that too often! Unfortunately, in my case it was to catch a 6 am...
Ziggy and I are flying out San Jose for the Advanced Imaging Conference this weekend. A lot of the big guns will be there. Doug George will also be there (yes...
Piz, Really sharp images, nice work! Have you calculated the resolution in km? Len ... seeing. It was maybe slightly above average (5-6/10) but since I was up...
Albert / Ziggy; Looks like an impressive lineup of topics and speakers. You do realize how dangerous this venture is, you will certainly desire an RC even...
There it goes again! I guess once Albert decides to dump the (che)apo it will be cheap enough that even I might think about buying it. Keep me in mind Albert....
Hello OAFS, I am happy to say that I can now cross NGC 6888 (the Crescent Nemesis) off my NGC finest list. Here's the report: Date: 3 Nov 2004 Time:...
