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...
This sounds interesting. I've used the Kenrick focus aid (the one with 3 holes arranged in an equilateral triangle) and found its usefulness to be marginal....

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...
Hey Danny, Ralph Megna would be the one you need to contact. I believe Vincent Fesunoff is NOT attending, but I don't know if his pad has already been spoken...

I'm watching the weather, especially the wind forcast for tonight (Th). According to the sky clock, and the weather station out there, it is windy, 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...
That's what you get for listening to the weather forecasts. For some reason, which I'm not complaining about, we're in our own little hole in the patterns...
And my targets were the Horsehead, or maybe M-101 and some of the galaxies in Leo. My intuition said come, but I have been down there when the wind was...

I'd like to, but this afternoon I'm playing for a memorial, then setting up and practicing for a TV shoot tomorrow afternoon. If the weather is still good,...
Yeah, knock that off.... :)- Hopefully we'll see you tomorrow night. Daniel ... From: David Morris To: RASIMAGE@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, March 27, 2009...
Hey Danny, I know that Vince's pad has a occupant this weekend but I am sure that we should be able to find a pad for you Clear Skies; Frank & Linda Boecker ...
Hi all, Here's an image I took over the weekend of IC1318... my first chance to get out in about 3 months! The stars look a little fuzzier than they might have...
Hi everyone, Here's something I haven't done in a long time... a relatively long focal length image. It's of "The Eyes", M86, and other galaxies in and around...

Hey, All! It's one of those rare cosmic alignments for me where I am likely to show up at GMARS this weekend. So. Does anyone know of any pads that will be...
Hi Joe, Come find me, Linda Boecker, and I'll show ya how to collimate your scope. It's fairly easy, especially with this new collimator gadget that I'll show...
Thanks, Linda! Let me be more specific...I THINK my issue with collimation is getting the focuser centered over the secondary. When I collimate, I can get a...
Not that it will do you a lot of good now, but you could have used my pad. I was in Texas. Double spikes on star images are not a collimation issue. They are...
