Nice, Robin! That's a gorgeous set up! I plan to use PHD soon. I just bought a G-11 w/Gemini and will be guiding with a DSI Pro. Anything I should know that...
Joe, PHD is a real no-brainer. No worries on cal times in X,Y, software picking hot pixels instead of stars, etc. Just fire it up, select your camera, connect...
By the way, the developer of PHD guiding, Craig Stark, will be the main presenter at Nightfall this year. I hope everybody in the group is planning on signing...
Hi all, I made it up to the Golden State Star Party in northern California (between Shasta and Lassen). I know, I know... a star party that RAS didn't...

You and me both, Robin! I'm zero-ing in on a problem with my FSQ. So, that and the star party up north have been consuming my time. If I need to send the FSQ...
These are very humble shots as I get to know my new setup: Losmandy G-11 w/Gemini carrying an Orion 10" f4.7 newt. I've learned a decent bit about aligning the...
Hi all, The next meeting of the OCA Astroimaging sig is going to be a hands on photoshop workshop on star shaping and editing. There will be sample files to...
I must say that the OCA SIG is something to emulate. Presentations have been good, and the sharing is excellent. They have some very accomplished and friendly...
My G-11 and I have taken our relationship to the next level.tonight we successfully auto-guided using PHD Guiding with a DSI Pro through the piggy-backed Orion...
Hi all, I was curious if anyone here is heading to the Julian Star Fest. If you're not, I was thinking about going to Pinos that weekend (8/1-3) and was...

Hi Danny, I will only be able to go out on Saturday night, 8/2. As such I need to stay more local. I have been invited to OCA Anza as a guest and will probably...
CROSS-POST... Here is an image of the Pelican Nebula (IC5070) from Mt. Pinos. The odd composition is because I was primarily imaging with the scope and camera...
So, the ST-10 was out catching photons this weekend... I'm anxious to see your results. I like your shot of the NA and Pelican (even with the "odd" ...
Hi all, Apologies to those of you who may have already seen the Pelican/40D image below. I've added an ST-10XME image (so, apologies also to some of the...
Great image, Robin! The ST-10 is great on any telescope but it appears to really do well on the TOA-130. Wish I still had mine. :( Best, Danny ... shaped...
OK, here's the narrowband image, my first. I know it has issues (especially with alignment of the colors toward the bottom) but I'm sstill happy with it for...
Hi Alex, Although I visited OCA at Anza, I made sure to wear my RAS hat I bought at RTMC ;) I'm hoping to see you all at GMARS for the second star party...
Thanks, Alex. Mt. Pinos was great. Of course, it doesn't have the amenities of GMARS but it was a DSLR-friendly 55F at night. It was good to get back up there...
