I see Mr. Bert's been very busy up in the Stanislaus National Forest. Really nice shots Vince! When are you going to come back to SD and grace us with your...
Bob, You really brought out some color in the nebula! Nice work. One thing I noticed though is your version lost quite a bit of detail. I think I'll need to...
Jim, Where are you imaging from? From the light pollution it looks like your shooting from very near town. Longer exposures honestly aren't going to help you...
LOL! Thanks Alice. Well the conditions were not so great up north either. Transparency a 1 out of 5 with high cirrus passing through each night. Out of 12...
Jim, Thanks, I believe I'm loosing detail due to the use of the demo version of NeatImage. It will only save as a jpg which throws out alot of data because of...
Jeff, I'm shooting from Harbison Canyon, about 2 miles outside of Alpine.. It's no TDS but there are no street lights around and most of the time the...
Jim, I just checked, and my Paracorr takes 2" standard filters, so you can definitely use a light pollution filter with your Paracorr. There are threads on...
That brings up a good question...at least for me = )) Does anyone have a recommendation on light pollution filters? I was using the 1 1/4 Celestron before...
Good news. I got another computer, the same model, and I was able to put my old hardrive in it and it worked. So I didn't have to re- install all my...
Carey, I would like to go over it again. I found all of the adjustments on my GEM and am ready to give it a go. BYW, I just got back from Bryce Canyon and...
Kin, I need to let you know that I don't think I'm going to be up to organizing the next meeting. Too many things going on in my personal life. I can do a 30...
Carer, OK. I will work out something. Thanks for the offer of doing your slides on drift aligning. Kin ... From: Carey Johnson To: SDAA_AISIG@yahoogroups.com ...

All, I found this site *extremely* interesting. . .I'll be testing out this technique tonight: http://scopetrader.com/messageboard/view.asp?ID=110 -Jeff...
Jeff, That's really interesting. I believe mine is pretty close to being dead on...I guess I'll really see how close it is. See you tonight, Bob ... this...
Thats a fantastic drift method for DSLR's. Usually I use either track and accumulate in CCDSoft or a "guider error" drift in Maxim, I have found that to be the...

Thank you, Brian !!! This is a good addition to my little (getting bigger!) notebook of "how to's". Alice ... 20Alignment.doc...
There are lots of nice new shots up on AISIG. Bob, I really like your M33. Looks like your guiding and focus were right on. If it were me, I'd turn down the...
I was actually going to ask about those spots. . .Bob, you should see if that's just dust on your glass chip cover/filter. If so cleaning that isn't nearly as...
Thanks for the compliments. I've learned alot over the past 3 months just setting at home in front of the computer. I just looked at the chip cover in the...
Also, I really have been fighting with that color noise. I don't remember it being as bad as that before. Any suggestions on how to remove it besides setting...
Bob, I agree about monitors. It drives me crazy. I got this thing that Vince Burt recommended called Spyder which calibrates your monitor. I still have to...
Hi Bob. I take flats the next morning. I ensure I leave my setup untouched from when I captured my light frames to ensure the optical path is identical to the...
Ooh... I just read Dave's post on this (I guess we had a race condition there :-) and I like his idea of just using the histogram on the camera itself....
