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...
Beautiful, nevertheless! Where is Red Cloud? Joe _____ From: RASIMAGE@yahoogroups.com [mailto:RASIMAGE@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of dannysperry Sent:...
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...
Hi all, I know someone who is selling some equipment, he will deliver to SoCal, he lives a few hours away. The big items are a 12.5" carbon tube RCOS scope,...
btw, I also forwarded it to Ralph Megna, not for the scope, but for the STL-11000 w/filters. He's predominately shooting most of his stuff with his DSLR and...
Does anyone have a good map showing the layout of the camp? I'm planning on going and will sleep in my van (no hookups required) though I'd like power for the...
Hi Joe, Since no one else has answered, I'll give it a stab. I don't have a map, but when you get into the camping area, turn left and there is a large...
Good evening Joe & David, I'll stab at it too, but differently.... This upcoming weekend is a new moon weekend for what is likely one of, if not the, largest...
Hi Joe, I obviously saw your message too late but thought I'd respond so you can think about next year's event. This RTMC marked the 24th year since I started...
Thanks, Danny.I was hoping to run into you there and finally meet you. In any case, I ended up setting up right next to the road by the volleyball courts....
Very nice image, Joe. Great job. Will you be going to Nightfall and/or the Julian Starfest? If so, maybe we can make a point to meet up then. :) Best, Danny...
Not sure on either, yet. Most of my "plans" tend to be last minute decisions, unfortunately. If I end up going to either I'll definitely let you know! Joe...
Hi Folks, after what seemed like months of crappy weather (probably just weeks, lol) here in southern California I finally was able to get out and shoot. Here...

Hi Folks--made it to a dark sky this weekend. Here is NGC 6822, Barnard's galaxy in Saggitarius. A dwarf irregular galaxy. Imaged from Joshua Tree National...
This poor guy always gets passed over by me in favor of more prominant ones. Thought I'd pay him some attention on my last outing. Globular cluster M10 in...

Take some pictures of the Milky Way, of course! http://www.californiastars.net/gallery/m008.m020_40dg_fsq.html Taken from Mt. Pinos this last weekend using the...
