Nice one Kin! I've been wanting to lay eyes on one of these scopes for some time. I hear so much about them, but I don't think I've ever actually seen one! ...
Kin No fair. We are no sooner about to get over the bad weather from my new Q and now you have to foul things up with a NP-101iis. I was planning on giving the...
Good job Kin. That should be a nice complement to Vince's AP900GTO. :-) Just kidding. Looking forward to seeing your images. I'm planning on a TDS fix...
I am not quite "ready" for this, but I hope to live up to it. I have a '01 TV Genesis that performs very well. The NP-101is is way beyond that in both...

BTW Kin if it wasn't for Jerry Hilburn's help last March I wouldn't have any LPI images but if I can help others figure out how to use the LPI I sure will do...
All -- For the first time in quite a while, the astronomy software and telescope hardware gods were on speaking terms. I got a little nuts on Saturday (saw the...
It looks good. You have some odd vertical bands that are not really going to hurt the image. Are they in the original fits? Also 6 min at f3.3 wherever you...
Thanks for the comments Bob - I didn't notice any vertical lines in the original Files but I'll need to go back and look a little closer. In regards to the...

Hi Dave, One thing that's immediately obvious looking at your images is that you weren't guiding, or if you were that it wasn't working so well. The stars are...
From TDS Sat night. I think the focus was a wee bit soft but it was also kinda breezy that night. Here's a link to it http://tinyurl.com/23hceb Suggestions? ...
Thanks Jeff -- I wonder if the star distortion on the left and right is more an issue with the 3.3 Meade focal reducer? The guiding issue has me a bit...
My guess is that if the guiding looked good while you were imaging that you have some flex or shifting in the mount. Take shorter sub frames and you should not...
Yea, I agree with Bob. . .those Meade scopes are well known for mirror shifting. . .also the tube is Aluminum (unless you have a carbon fiber model) so you...
Well - The stars look nice and round when I focus. Once I get close to critical focus, I lock down the mirror and use the micro focuser to complete the final...
And of course, you've trained the PEC, right? Bob ... to ... The ... weights ... in ... object ... mirror ... fiber ... changes. . .or ... scope. . .or ... ...
Dave, Yes, ideally you want your guide start to be inside the field. Here's why: Remember that polar alignment manifests as field rotation on guided images. ...
Hey Bob, The problem with those images isn't PE. . .if we had oval stars that were all roughly in the same spot that would be it, but his start literally are ...
AAhhh. Now that I'm home and have the appropiate SW to see the FITS files, I see it. I was going by what Bob Nanz posted from my work PC. Bob ... that were ......
Yep -- makes sense. - My guide star was, in fact, not even close to being in the same frame as the primary imager. There weren't any good guide stars in the ...
Dollars to donuts that's the issue with these subs then. -Jeff ... From: SDAA_AISIG@yahoogroups.com [mailto:SDAA_AISIG@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of David Wood...
