Hi, Anyone locally using an NJP for astrophotography? I think mine could use an adjustment of the DEC worm/gear mesh, and I'm seeing some odd things in the...
I'm getting soooo far behind on processing images but here is a RRGB of the NGC6888 region. AP160 at f/5.84 120 minutes Red (doubled as luminance), 30 minutes...
I've been working on dialing in my alignment and guiding through an OAG. This was taken last night from my moonlit light polluted backyard. 5 x 5 minute iso...
Hi folks, Some of you here have heard me talk about a DC-DC converter that would stabilize battery output. I've worked with Cuk and boostbuck designs; I never...
This is very interesting. I wonder if amateur CCD imaging will eventually go this direction? If cameras can be made that are really as noise free as this link...
Potentially another great leap forward in astroimaging. I can't wait until it reaches affordability for the amateur community. It does, however, mean a lot...
Yea, but people do this now for planetary imaging. Maybe by the time it becomes affordable PC's will be powerful enough to process the data quickly. -Ray ... ...
Hi, Here's an image of M5 I finally got around to processing and posting. It's with a Modified Rebel XT through (then Drew's) Takahashi Mewlon 180, off-axis...
... If read several of the papers referenced by the Cambridge group and talked with one of the Lucky-Astronomy guys currently working with Palomar. o It is...
Updates: the converters shipped today. Apparently these converters are very much in vogue among the car audio set, particularly the maniacs who put 500W...
It looks like my name has come up for an AP 140. I currently have a 155EDFS (f/7). Does anyone have an opinion (hopefully an informed one) as to why I might...
Hi everyone, Does anyone have any opinions about the new Canon 40D? It seems to have a lot of the feature set of the Canon 1D Mark III at about 1/4th the cost....

I hear it is out now. E.g. ritz online has it. I've been holding off getting another highish-end camera (1200 is high end for me!), but this might be the...
Hi Richard, ... They started selling them about in stores and online about a week ago. There were a few left at Best Buy locally earlier this week, but they...
I am expecting my new SV90T to arrive later this month, hopefully in time to work with it and be prepared for a productive time at Calstar. It is equipped with...
Have you considered Starizona's offering? I use it on my sv90t and it seems to work well. I opted for the wired on it was cheaper and I already had plenty of...
Hey Joe, Thanks for pointing it out. Good to see that there are choices available. Why did you choose the Starizona solution over the others? How do you like...
Ray, thanks for the heads up. I still have my old 10D, but this is seeming to finally be worth the upgrade. Actually the price is reasonable compared to what...
Two reasons where the attachment to the focuser was better that the robo and it was cheaper that the FT version. I haven't had a chance to use it much, but I...
Yikes, that seems like a design flaw. You'd think they'd make it a series of button pushes that makes it nearly impossible to do by accident. Too many options-...
Hi Paul, There is also a new interesting camera from Nikon, the D300, that is coming out soon. DPReview just posted a preview and it looks like it has a lot of...
