I've been using L4 (4.0.2) for quite some time and it works great. I'm very happy with it. The Gemini ASCOM driver (the L4 one) works great as well. I do not...
Jeff I was surprised when Scott told me that the cables can be plugged in several different ways. I took a look and sure enough the cheap connectors on the...
Yeah, I've heard of this issue as well but it never bit me. I now use some cables made by Keith Myers. He's active on the MI-250 yahoo group so drop him a...
Congrats Jerry! I think you'll be very pleased with tracking and guiding. No need to wait for the wind to die down- put your little refractor on that mount and...
Terry, Thanks for the info! Looking more closely at the cables, I can see how if one were so inclined they probably could be plugged in backwards. Kind of a ...
I picked up the MI-250 this morning and have just finished setting it up in the backyard. I have lashed my C8 to it and will be running an alignment on it...
Hey Jerry, I was shooting some Ha last night from my backyard here in Chula Vista. . .with a nearly full moon. Get a good enough polar alignment and pointing...
Very nice Jeff. How long was your exposure? I've been looking for a Baader 7nm HA myself, but everyone seems to be sold out of the 2" size. Looks like I'll...
Dude, GREAT Shot! Cannot wait for thursday to get here. Heading to TDS and fingers crossed will get at least one quality picture finished by Sunday. Gotta...
Jerry, I guess we have you to thank for this: ;-) 7-Day Point Forecast For: 11.8 miles east of Campo. Created: February 04, 2007 19:10:02 PST Tonight: Mostly...
Hello All, My modified XTI is coming home tomorrow from Hutech. While I was browsing the site, I noticed comments concerning the use of an IR filter with...
Jerry, A 2" mounted filter should thread into your T-ring. A lot of people (myself included) use a IR blocking filter to reduce the signal in those ...
Jerry, That depends on what you had Hutech replace your filter with. They can use clear glass or TypeI UV/IR block. There is a little more to it than what Jeff...
Jerry, I suggest you shoot with and without an IR/UV blocking filter and see which gives you smaller FWHM's for starters. There are some that say that you...
Thanks to all for the responses. I had Hutech use a clear filter, so I will pickup an Astronomik IR filter and use it in the nose piece. I will try with and...
Check out this site: http://www.astrosurf.com/buil/filters/curves.htm If you actually do have the Lumicon "Ha Pass" filter, you should try putting both it AND...
I got it used. I think I got some bad advice on it, when I showed it to Chris H. he said that it would work for true photography, but not for digital. Its a...
Try using it AND the Astronomik filter. . .just for grins. That's a lot of filter, but, try it anyway, just for fun. . .the two together will effectively make...
We will hold the February AISIG meeting at Roy Ang's home in Rancho Penesquitos at 7 PM as we did in January. There will be cookies, wine and cheese,...

How was the meeting? Too many personal things going on, so I couldn't make it. :( Alice ... Penesquitos at 7 PM as we did in January. There will be cookies,...
Very informative concerning the AISIG gallery site. Jerry did a great job in showing how to use the site and took suggestions on improving the site. Too bad...
Roger Bob's response. Jerry's persentation was excellent. There are neat features on the AISIG gallery site, and Jerry keeps improving it. We are fortunate to...
I was cleaning out some old back-up Cd's today and stumbled across an installer for the MAC OS X version of Photoshop 7. Sort of like finding a 500$ bill in...
Hey Dave, Keep in mind, that if you have a fully licensed version, you can upgrade that version to CS3 for WAAAAY less than buying a new license. . .I think an...
Dave, If you get a chance, pick-up "Photoshop Astronomy," by R. Scott Ireland. I've been playing with Photoshop for several years, took a class in PhotoShop as...
Dave, I think the main advantage to using th new versions of PS, at least as far as astrophotos are concerned is the ability to perform operations on your...
I am still using PS 5.5. (I know time to upgrade.) In that version you can stretch and mask in 16 bit mode but little else. No filters etc. Bob From:...
