http://www.willbell.com/CCD/photoshop_astronomy.htm Interesting. Maybe a tad better than photoshop-for-astrophotography. Some basic stuff, but definitely...
Thought I'd throw out some discussion on this -- the further ahead I plan, the more likely it is I can go ;-) Is there interest in doing it again this year?...
... Despite no longer imaging, I would gladly attend, even if just to enjoy Dan's cooking and hospitality. LSA is a great location for many reasons including ...
Hi Bill, Yeah, it's a star party oriented towards imagers' needs. Visual observers are welcome, too. We did the first one about five years ago at Ventana...
Hey Paul: It sounds like a great idea. The skies are pretty dark there from what I recall of CalStar a few months back. I also like the idea of the female...
My personal preference would be the weekend (Thu-Sun, three nights) of March 30th - April 2nd. My only concern would be that the temperatures might be pretty...
Fellow TACos, (Discount offered for TACos on top of the pickup discount.) I must sell my AP 900QMD mount, the 900GTO is on its way and I have to write a big...

I'll have to check with my busy work schedule… uhmmm. Yup. I'm in :-) Any time. Any day. I'd drive as far as you want. Personally I'd be really in favour of ...
Yeah, but I just can't see sending that big a check to Meade given my previous experience with them. I can just see it now.... a 13 inch worm gear, a 1.1 inch...

Mark's stuff is nice, but a bit pricey for me. My current project is bordering a bit on the insane. I'm designing a 16" split ring mounted newtonian. I was a...
You will need to contact Richard privately. He is on this list but he is moderated. Unfortunately he could not control himself on another list and booted ...
Actually, I *want* to build the CNC router. They are cool :-) Just another geek outlet for me. Pete ... path when I ... access to a CNC ... not sure if...
I've thought about it myself. I could sure use one. But after looking at what it would take in money and mostly in time, I could see that building one or...
I'll keep the group posted. I must admit, it crossed my mind as I looked into it that you could probably use one! I wonder if there are enough telescope makers...

That's a good idea, but I probably will not be able to build (and test) it before the trip. Maybe I should take another look at the Orion camera mount ...
