A little 2.9 earthquake just rattled us here in Ontario. Looks like it was just SE of the Ontario airport. It was a sudden, quick jolt for us here, just NE of...

I use the 20D exclusively. I used the TV85 a couple of years ago, and would go back to it if I wanted a wide-field view. However, I moved to a 10 inch F 4.5...
OOh--lot's of questions. I always use my unmodified 20D, and have migrated to a Meade 10 inch F4.5 Newt Tube riding a Losmandy G-11. And I autoguide with an...
Joe, My computer locked up when I wrote the reply. And it looked like the original reply was lost. So, I re-wrote the reply. That is why you got two replies to...

Is anyone going to be out at GMARS this weekend? I'm thinking about heading out for Saturday night for a little imaging. Just wondering if I'll have any...

Danny, These are very nice. I shot M101 last weekend but I want to get more color. I've never been able to get as much color as I would like on it. Next...
Thanks Alson. That should be cool. Can't wait to see the result. I always come back from imaging sessions saying, "I should've spent more time on one object...
Sometime during May or June I'd like to get a deep, 10-12 hour exposure of the Hercules Galaxy cluster over two or three nights. Alson ... on ... night,...
There was in fact just a bit of room on the 108 corner, but about one eighth of a frame on the 97 side. I cropped off the 97 side to match the tightness of the...
Very nicely done, Alson. The detail in M101 and M106 is fantastic. I hear last weekend was pretty good. I might try to get out there this weekend. - dp ...
Thanks, Alex! I'm slowly getting equipped to do longer exposure imaging while simultaneously learning how to use my processing software. That "close up" of M13...
I've added 18 images of m-45, 180 seconds each image, and can't see any real difference between the first original image and the stack of 18 images. They were...
Hi, David, I'm very new at this so I offer my advice with that disclaimer! I use IP 2.8 for capture and processing. I, too, find little difference in any of my...
