Imagine my surprise as I looked at the AISIG gallery this morning when I saw my name under one of the thumbnails! Kin, I assume you are practicing loading...
This weekend looks like we should have good viewing conditions. We still have lots of space left for volunteers. We are a few days away from the June 2007...
Did you miss the last meeting when Jerry said that star parties, etc. qualified for the gallery. I thought that this was the one we printed in the newsletter...
No, I heard Jerry. And thanks to both of you for the compliments. Wow, a pin-up! And people wonder why I put up with all you guys. Duh! ... Alice ... etc....
On Spaceweather.com there is a story about a guy that imaged Vesta with an 11". I bet Vince could get a pretty good image based on his past images of Jupiter...
Humm. I havent done any planetary imaging in a while, but it sounds like a cool challenge. Also I bet Dave Goodin could get good image of it with his C11, his...
Gary, Are you still good for you demo of the latest version of Primary Image at the AISIG meeting next Wednesday? Bob Austin is bringing his LX-200 to hook up....
Hi Kin, Yes, I can demo the software next week. I can bring my LX200 since I've got the guider attached which will show all of the software features. I...
Greg, Kin had asked for the use of an LX200 and I volunteered. I was surprised to see that you have one and was just double checking that I no longer need to...
Hello, I have an Astro Pier from Le Sueur Manufacturing that I no longer need. I purchased it about 8 years ago for my Classic C-8. With the exception of a...

Greg. Great. I thought that you needed an LX-200 so I asked Bob if he could bring his. Sorry for the confusion. I am a real "belts and suspenders" person...
I won the book Introduction to Digital Astrophotography in the club raffle 2 months ago and after reading about darks and overhearing people talk about it I'm...
Simply put dark frames work best if they are taken at the same exposure and temperature as the image you wish to calibrate. The more darks you use for your...
Really I guess I misunderstood it I just reread it and it doesn't say how long each of the 5 darks are just to stack them. So I need to do the darks as soon as...
Hi Kin, Not a problem! What time should I get there to setup? Will I need a long extension cord for the computer? Greg **************************************...
That would work best with a camera without temperature control. You can the darks at another time but they should be done at the same temperature. Bob _____ ...
I have a Meade DSI I think I should do it at the time I'm out there, this is all new to me Bob Austin's been helping me and I really appreciate all his help. I...
I usually take 3 to 5 darks at each exposure time that I used for the night, at the end of my session. I do it at the end of the timed session because the...
Carey, Actually Leo (and I) are using CCDSoft to run our CCD cameras. The software will take only one dark frame after the 1st light frame and subract that...
Thanks for the info it makes sense with what I'm reading and what Bob's been telling me about the need for darks. The darks I've done so far were done at work...
Gary, Is 6:40 good? I don't know where the outlets are, so let's both bring extension cords. Kin ... From: gfisch9862@... To: SDAA_AISIG@yahoogroups.com ...
I was very impressed with this photograph! As I use an unmodified Canon 20D, I do have several questions.... Was the shot guided and what do you use for a...
Bob, no need to take darks at all while you are imaging. At home, put your camera in the fridge and run the cooler to whatever temp you will use when imaging,...
