Hello Robin, Daniel Perry is taking my pad because I won't be out there (I'll be in Nevada for my father's surprise 70th birthday party). But Alex is also not...
I was out at landers last night shooting the comet, moon, and Orion Nebula. How am I dong considering I do not have a guided telescope (tracking only). ...
Hey, Chris! I'm still pretty green myself and I'll offer feedback nevertheless... Some questions: Are you using a wedge? What were your exposure times for the...
... I'm not sure what a wedge is. I am making a very careful polar alignment with the reticle in my finder scope. My Telescope (brand new, but maid c. 1985)...
Ah, there's my greenitude showing! You're on an equatorial mount then? Not a fork mount? If that's the case, ignore all my references to a wedge and field...
Hi Chris, I'd say you're doing pretty well. Focus is often a hurdle for a lot of people but it looks like you have that down. There's a bit of star trailing...

A nice night at GMARS 11/10/07. First night out with my newly acquired NJP mount. I still have some fine tuning to do, but not unhappy with first images. ...
Thanks Joe, I just keep working on the basics: polar alignment, focus, scope balance, etc. I appreciate the compliments. Robin ... acquired ... with ... TOA- ...
Chris, If you get there a few minutes early, some of us will be out at the parking lot so you shouldn't have any problem locating the room. If you don't see...

It looks like Orion's Atlas EQ-G mount (available in the USA for $1499.95). See http://www.telescope.com/control/product/~category_id=mounts_and_tripods ...
I wonder if the mod discussed on the Yahoo group EQMOD will work on this as well? That would probably be cheaper to have shipped and no weird duties costs and...
