I took a 60 second R, a 60 second G and a 90 B the other night but didn't process them until today. I LRGB combined with my 42 minute L from the same session...
Coming together very nice Albert. There seems to be a stream coming out towards the bottom left, and I hear there are three streamers all together. Good luck...
This is a pretty good time to see Comet Macholz. It's coma overlaps the star 30 Taurus. Or just sweep 8 or 9 degrees in the direction suggested by the V of the...
Took another image of Saturn tonight despite the poorer seeing compared to Dec 29/30. And there are other differences: -used my 3COM webcam rather than the...
Comets are interesting objects to image...luckly I've had more than one kick at can with this one.... I took 75*1 minute images last Friday night. I stacked 5...

... like ... "Ultimate"? I'd consider this scope to be more ulitmate: http://www.rcopticalsystems.com/32inch.html I'd call the Meade 16" RC "economical" --...
Yep I think I'd agree that this Meade RC is a poor mans version of the rcoptical systems. We'll just have to see how the quality of these things pans out, on...
Interesting. Celestron did a presentation last summer at Starfest around the "new" RC scope they were producing (16"??). It was not priced yet, but the...
I'm not sure yet about dinner or the meeting for that matter. The lebanese place (Sandrellas?) sounds good if its cloudy, but the long range forecast is...
