Well, I've worked for the last few days trying to get the SCSI interface on the Meade control box to work, to no avail. The SCSI to USB adapter works great,...
Brian, I'm confirming that I'll be there for the "fun." I'll bring a couple of shovels, a hoe, a rake and gloves. I've also got a portable 12v air compressor...
If you get a chance and can take a long shot of a quiet area of the sky around 0 degrees altitude please post it up here in the files area. If you can get a...
AISIG - March meeting is at Roy Ang's home in Rancho Penasquitos. Dr Rajiv Dendale will give a presentation on how CCD's work. This should be great for both...
This one really should not have gone to the AISIG group. I just replied to one of Bob Austin's emails, and the reply went to the group. On the other hand, I...
Hi Woody - yes, we are on or Saturday. I'll be there Friday to meet the gravel truck and will be staying the night. By the way, I pulled the wheels off the...

I friend of mine is thinking of getting a Celestron CGE mount. He wants to use it for photography. Is this a reasonably good mount? Does it have a good polar...
Buy a used Losmandy G11 on Astromart. . .or if he wants a new one, spend $200 extra dollars and buy a new one ($3200 new). They pop up on Astromart pretty...
Bob, I agree on the G11. It s solid mount for the price and I've never regretted it. I looked hard at the CGE as it had just come out when I was buying my...
