In doing some research to find some processing techniques, I ran across this imaging contest for SCT users. The rules state that entries are limited to images...
I put together a spreadsheet containing the specifications for as many CCD cameras (and their imaging chips) as I could for the last AISIG meeting. It took me...
Thanks a bunch for putting this together Jeff! It's definitely a very useful tool for anyone in the market for a new CCD and it's too bad that nobody in the...
Jeff Thanks a lot for the spreadsheet. It really helps to have that information in a condensed form. Scott Dixon [Non-text portions of this message have been...

Hey Kin, I think planning some "beginners nights" actually out at TDS is the way to go. . .if we could get a few experienced folks and get them to be available...
I would be willing to help with a beginners night at TDS. All the lectures in the world don't mean a thing unless you put what you've heard to practical use. ...
Jeff and Bob, I agree. This would be great. I intended to get around to this but never quite did. (Star Parties!!) What do you think about the frequency - 3...

We could even do on a "as requested" basis, i.e. Kin when you feel the demand is there, we do it! I agree with Bob, a lot of times I feel like lecturing about...
