Mike, As you know, the MX cameras take a single shot with a CCD chip that has the filters built in. The software then extracts the 4 files (LRBG). What I'm ...

... I am very impressed with the difference between the two images, but still a bit confused about what you did. The raw images are apparently based on 50...
Al, Here's how it goes. 1. MX camera spits out 50 images that have the LRBG mashed into each file. 2. Software extras each image into 4 files (LRBG). Now we...

Hello all, If the weather holds I am planning on heading out to FLO to get some much needed observing in. I would arrive around 6 or 6:30 and stay untill the...
Last night at dinner there was some discussion of the difference between a super nova and a hypernova. I quick search lead me to an old astronomy POD which...
I will post some photos of our arrangement. We have 2 sets of hooks and eyes, east and west, and a latch that attaches the flap to the roof on the south end,...
No, no jumping, it did just roll ajar, the chains that I use to secure it in high winds just happen to have enough slack to let it roll. I now have tie downs...

I'm sure others will have more to report, but I thought I'd let those that weren't at FLO last evening know how things went. We had a very good turn-out - Rob...
