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...
Here is a widefield, fisheye shot of the sky from Mt. Pinos last weekend: http://www.californiastars.net/gallery/mtpinos_2008.html Scroll to the bottom for...
Hello group, I added a photo in my folder of the Crescent Nebula, NGC 6888 taken on 8/11 from my backyard. TOA-130 with reducer, ST-10XE, Astrodon Ha, NJP...
I added a photo of sh2-142, The Wizard, to my folder. http://tech.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/RASIMAGE/photos/view/e975? b=16&m=f&o=0 Sharpless 2-142 is a faint...
Hi all, I got a message from Ralph (and Frank and Linda) about an idea they were talking about after the SIG met last night. How about an imaging class,...
Hi all, We are getting more enrollments to the Tony Hallas/Don Goldman workshop in Pasadena, for September 12, the day before PATS. Tony is a premier Astro...
Alex,  I think it's a great idea  But, for me it would be strictly theoretical since I don't have the required equipment nor the budget to change that at...
Hello all, I also think it would be a great idea, although, I think that it might be best to do a single event at GMARS - set up the main scope, secondary...
You know, Dan, that was my thought, too.....but After I looked harder, I thought----no, moonshooting from town is relatively easy. A nice first step. But I...
I'll second this. A quick survey in a short period of time (over the course of a single day/night) of the main issues in getting started in astrophotography...
alex--I have been at our colorado cabin since june- My lap top crashed- am in the library picking up old messages. I plan to be home in time for pats. I am...
Thanks, Jim. Alex ... crashed- am in the library picking up old messages. I plan to be home in time for pats. I am willing to help if you still need it. Send...
Hi folks, I sorta feel like an interloper, but let me offer my 2-cents in addition to the original idea: There is WAY TOO MUCH subject material to cover in a...
Good morning everyone, Ralph's comments made me reminisce about my very early astro-photography experiences and have to admit, I agree with him about the...
I agree with Ralph and Dan but not with Alex or Joe. Wait, I am Joe. OK. It might be a happy time to ask what the goal of the "class" would be. Is it to send...
I think an intro class might start with selecting the right equipment, based on budget and imaging goals and then move to basics like imaging on a tripod, etc....
... ????? I have no idea what we are agreeing with or not here--but let me say some things to set this effort in context. There are two types of people...
And a footnote to my earlier--I focused on separating lunar from deep space and having at least two such sessions. I am also in favor of the additional classes...
Hi all, I thought I would comment on a few things, and this is based from direct experience with organizing and implementing a class very much like what you...
Hi again, I just thought I would elaborate more on this topic, it was I have had many discussions with other people and thought I would toss some of this out...
