Had some good weather in Joshua Tree this weekend. Here's one of the images I was able to get: http://www.californiastars.net/gallery/ngc7000_40d_fsq106.html ...
Danny, Another nice image. I had similar experience at Red Cloud Road on Saturday night - 3 hours on M101 that turned out just OK, but a quick 30 minute RGB on...
Those are really nice Joe, I especially like the two nebulae. I like the framing, and the thick layer of stars between them. Alex ... b=1&m=f&o=0 ... ...
Thank you, Alex. The later it got the more I wanted something easy to shoot. After badly botching M104, imaging M8 and M20 gave me a good enough feeling I...
The only problem you will have with staying up late like this (and Danny, too, with his North America Nebula last week) is that you will be shooting the Orion...
Hi all, The Astroimaging Group has decided to take it upon themselves to image all of the RAS 100. To that end, I have uploaded star charts by month that I...

After the meeting last Monday, I downloaded Astroplanner (again--I had toyed with it years ago) to use it to Polar Align my Gemini G-11. It worked fine, right...
It's been said that modifying the filter in your DSLR doesn't make a big difference. Well, to that I say, pooey. I've always known that the modification is...
I second that! I have not yet had mine modified but plan on it. I post my images on a site sponsored by Hap and a few of his photo-mates. The quality of images...
Hi Joe, I had a Hutech 20D before the 40D, so I started off with a modified camera. I bought a stock 40D and used it for a while unmodded. What a difference!...
I would add my voice to those who say get it modified if it is for astro imaging. If you do not believe me, check out some of my pictures. They just do not...
The Prime Focus has a section--or can make one. Get your information to Dan. RTMC is coming up. If you want to sell anything, ask the club to do it, and set a...
Hi all, I just wanted to share a few photos from this year's RTMC AE. It was a bit of an odd RTMC due to the weather, mostly. It did clear at night but almost...
Danny I was in Los Cabos this past week, mid eighties and clear every day, but snow at RTMC, great picture, I believe it has happened before, but not for quite...
Hi Danny, Interesting pics. I was there Saturday morning. This was my first RTMC, and even with the strange weather, I found it enjoyable. It was fun to have...
OK, since this is a smaller group, I'll go ahead and just say it... Patricia Arquette, her husband, Tom Jane, and their daughter, Harlow, were there. I'm...
It was weird.....as cold and damp and such, the presentations were pretty good, and well attended. It was actually quite nice overall. By the way--great pics. ...
RTMC AE is always good. I don't think there's been such a thing as a "bad" one. They're all unique. And I think next year will see a surge in attendance... new...
Hey, all, I'm making plans to be at the star party at GMARS this weekend. I'm hoping to get there tonight (Thursday). Will I have any issues getting onto the ...
Hello Joe, Getting onto the property will not be the problem.... electricity is on and setting up for an evening of observing and imaging on a vacant pad...
