From the evening of 1/16: http://www.californiastars.net/gallery/ngc281_st10_fsq.html The focus shifted on me over the session so it's not as sharp as it could...
Jim, Very nice. I figure this narrowband thing from the suburbs is really a good way to go. It enables us to take photos in light pollution. And they are truly...
As with my reply to Jim, I think narrowband imaging really will be an important thing to be doing. It just adds so much time to one's observing sessions. YOu...

This looks pretty cool. However, it does not seem to support Mac or Open Source Software (no driver). It only works on Vista(32bit)/2K/Xp(32bit). My next...
When using PHD Guiding on a Macintosh, my recommendations for stand-alone guiders would be the Fishcamp Starfish, any of the Meade DSIs or an Imaging Source...
Last night at the imaging group meeting, we spent some time on Bahtinov masks. For those not there, these are special masks that make a diffraction pattern...
Alex, Just wanted to say thanks for your report. It'll be interesting to see what happens when you try the software focusing vs the Bahtinov mask. There...

Hi all, Does anyone know of a pad owner who won't be attending the star party this weekend? I'm wondering if I might be able to swipe one for Friday and...

Greetings from GMARS, it's calm and 55 degrees at 9:15. It's just Mark Melnyk, Alex McConahay, and myself out here. Wish you were all here with us enjoying the...
NOW you tell me! I was going to head on down, but all reports were for wind, though I half figured it'd calm down. Even called down there earlier, and it...
