Evil Rob, I wouldn't suggest putting lenses, eyepieces, telescopes through the washer. I know how you guys do it in Greely because I hate to admit it, I used...
Hi Rob! You could add a barlow lens to the prime focus set up. I have done that before with success. It should double the focal length of the scope, does it...
I suppose you're right (as usual) Darkside, I'll ask Anne to take the 127mm Mak out of the laundry basket if she hasn't put it through already. Can't get the...
I guess I could if I had the appropriate adaptors, Chris, however my barlows are of the 1.25" variety and I don't have a 1.25" to T-thread adaptor to connect...
Well of course I'm right. I'm an OAOGer. :) I'll of course be at the gabfest as I want the Emperor to spread his wealth of knowledge upon the group and...
Hi Rob! I could loan you my 2" Barlow if you are game to try it. Just let me know. I could bring it down for Gabfest if you think you would use it over the...
I guess you were lucky ... it was just water. Might have been a different story if it was a softdrink or sugar laden coffee. Best fun I had with a keyboard...
This is a bit late perhaps.... But, Boston Pizza does have a community/corporate relations person that I spoke to a while back and she mentioned that the...

Just posted 2 photos of this http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OAOG/photos/album/448097311/pic/list Not the best but for a point and shoot not to bad nikon -...
Great shots Jamie, I too had a short 3-4 minute glimpse of the gathering! I noticed them on my way home through Kanata. Stopped on the side of the road and...
Thanks Rick Glad you liked them. They turned out better then I expected. Jamie ... gathering! ... hopefully one will come out as nice as yours. ... pic/list ...
Very nice Rick, much better then my little nikon did. What kind of camera did you use? I really have to talk my wife into getting a better camera. Jamie...
Thanks Jamie, Though I like yours as much with the trees in the foreground. The camera is a 6.0 megapixel Canon PowerShotS3 IS point and shoot. It does...
Hi Jamie! I'm envious. I was oh so looking forward to catching a glimpse and taking a couple of pics, but alas, was clouded out. Great shots !! Cheers, Chris. ...
My nikon is only a 4 megapixel and although it has some manual control it is limited. Exposure times increment by 2sec. up to 8seconds and then goes to bulb...
Hi Rick! Great photos! It appears that the Ottawa area had a very brief opening in the cloud cover. It's wonderful to see that a few were camera ready with...
Thanks Chris Lucky shoot since my little nikon has limited manual settings. I did take 1 in auto mode which turned out OK but it is only a jpg image at about...
I will watch for the other pic. My camera goes to 15 sec with independant f and shutter adjustments. I should add that I used an inexpensive tripod with my...
Well, I guess it all depends on where you were standing because the skies here were quite uncooperative. Mr. Switzer is about 40 km east of me and I guess...
I do the same with the timer feature. Had a tripod at one time, got misplaced during one of our moves. Last night I grabed my 4.5 inch Tasco on an eq mount, it...
So that explains the strange sound I heard coming from Greely. The cry of the Greely amateur astronomer. Pretty spectacular and annoying at the same time....
Yes Rob I have heard a thousand geese honking together. My place is surrounded by corn fields on 2 sides and in the spring the geese love to land for a rest...
I was doing some late day shopping and parked at futureshop in Kanata. I was hoping the clouds would part as the sun went down so I could glimpse the...
It sure was a spectacular sight. Too bad the weather and circumstances didn't allow for a public star party to be organized. I'm sure that lots of interested...
OK Darkside, there may be annoying sounds coming from Greey, what with the geese, coyotes and even possibly Michi, but it's not as bad as the annoying light...
The light pollution is a gift of light for you Greely residents. Should make you feel special. Joe ... bad ... grief ... have ... if ... on ... of ... a ... it...
Ya sure I etched those serial #s with my laser pointer when I was bored one day :) I am sure there would be some place around town to find your gloves and...
