Hey Ray, Very nice shot. I personally prefer a slightly more processed look. You can get this by setting the first three wavelet sliders to 20:12:10. I would...
Since I've received my new AP160 I'm selling my AP155. It's just back from AP with a brand new coat of paint (pebble finish) and a brand new 2.7" focuser with...
I should have added that although I have not had the 155 and 160 side by side they show similar detail on Mars. Both are superb instruments. -Ray ... ...
Hi Ray, I will be in the Bay Area for Thanksgiving. How much would you want for a "local" sale (pickup)? What is included? How much without the reducer?...
Hi all, Was out last night for a time, but was shut down by severe dewing of my objectives (short tube refractors and finder). Have been looking at the...
Hi Take a look at DewBuster. It has a temp sensing input and will hold the temp "just" above dewpoint to keep the glass clear but not with a lot of "seeing...
Thanks, Phil, Googled the DewBuster web site, pretty cool system. Some novel approaches to making the heating strips. Cool...er, warm. Cheers, Jim ... hold...
Hi Jim, I needed a similar solution about a year ago, and nearly puked when I saw the prices that Kendrick was asking. So I went searching. The solution I...
Hi PT, Jim, and Philip: I have been following your thread on dew control. The guys on the Obsession mail-serve have been using Small Disposable Hand Warmers as...
Way to go, Phil. The Dew-Not strips look excellent and at a more realistic price. Putting together the power supply doesn't sound like a biggy. Would it be...
Jim, There really are no EMI issues because this is an analog system with simple 60 Hz power. No choppers. When I built my control box I included a lanyard (a...
PT, a photo of the setup would be cool. Thanks Jim ... with simple 60 Hz power. No choppers. ... string) and I just hang the thing from one of the knobs that...
Hope to see some of you there at AIC this weekend. Come over and say hi. I will be mostly in the CCDWare booth showing people the latest release of PEMPro. ...
Did a little imaging over the weekend with the Orion ED80 and continue to be impressed with the resolution I'm able to obtain with only 80mm of aperture and an...
AIC this year was even better than last year. There were more vendors and new product announcements. There were great speakers and even more new astrofriends...
Thanks, Paul. Thus far it all has been pretty rewarding, but I am now beginning to see the shortcomings and limitations of a web cam base camera. It will be...
Dear TAC imagers, For those who use video cameras for interfacing on-line, consider the Mallin-Cam II with reengineered boards, radiant cooling and eliminated...
Hi Philip, Say, where did you pick up the 12v center tap transformer? I really like your hi-low and off thinking here. Thanks, Jim ... I saw the prices that...
Jim, I had the transformer just laying around. But something like this from Radio Shack would probably work out well for you. 12.6V CT @3.0 amps. The price is...
Hey, thanks. That looks like a good place to start. My dew-nots are on the way so I need to get cracking. I ordered heaters for both objectives, finder...
Hi Ray, Good to see you there and thanks for posting the pics. I especially like the one of Richard Bennion doing his martial arts stance trying to force me to...
Hi Jim, Would you care to expand your discussion on the performance qualities and species differences of the Atik 2HS and the Mallin Cams? As someone new to...
Hi Paul, The MallinCams are hybrid versions of the Mintron frame integrating video systems. Rock has done some pretty clever stuff, and results speak for ...
