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...
Kin, We use to do all AISIG meetings at TDS and the groups activity wasn't as strong as it is now. Let's start with one and see what kind of response we get....
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...
I am happy to volunteer hands on activities here in town at my home observatory. A beginners night in town out back of my house would work well I think. If...
Jerry, You have a great set up, but probably lack the space to do a hands on with the beginners own equipment (hoping for a good turn out for such an event). ...
Bob, LOL, that's exactly what I was thinking too. . .Just fire up CCD Commander and go help while my stuff drives itself. . .no wasted imaging for me and help...

Hi Kin, I for one would like to see a beginner's program and/or some beginner's nights. I have a Meade DSI color, but on the few nights I took it out, I had no...
Hi Bill I'm still somewhat new to imaging my self and I too have the DSI if I can help just let me know with all the help I've gotten I'd be glad to share what...
Your right, TDS would be the best setup for a beginners night where everyone sets up their own equipment and gets help. I wasn't thinking about it that way.......
The GUI for the libarator does not show on my machine any more. I am running XP Pro, and Photoshop PS2. When opening a FITS file, it opens directly and the GUI...

FYI, I image a lot at TDS and based upon my adaptive optics and auto-guider movements, the seeing at TDS is generally in the 1.5 to 2 arc second range. I'd...
Imaging gurus, I think I understand the basic concept behind FWHM and have thrown around various numbers as if I knew what I was talking about, but when it...
Hi Tho, I'll take a shot at answering your questions. . .or at least offer my opinion, I'm admittedly better at taking pretty pictures than understanding all...
Jeff, As always, thanks for the very insightful input. In the end, I think I'm obsessing a bit much over FWHM as a way of quantifying the quality of my data....
Tho, Yea you are definitely right on the SBIG monitor, I totally miscalculated that. . .it's 150mm focal length, which by my calculations is like 10.3"/pixel....
