Sterngold, Mortfield, whats in a name. Thanks Ray. We had fun with this one doing a bi-color only doing Ha and OIII. We're using Don's 3nm filters and seems...
Hi Paul, That's a great image. I really loved the colors. It was a great example of just what cand be done with two bands. What color technique did you use?...
Congrats Paul! Truly an amazing image! I'll be going to AIC but since I haven't met almost any of you - and the few I have I've met in the dark - I might just...
Yep - that was a great image, even before I knew it was from a "local boy" ;) I'll be at AIC too, this year without a throat infection impairing my ability to...
Hi Paul, I look forward to seeing you again this year at AIC. I hope you and others here on TAC-Imaging will stop by the CCDWare booth and say hello (although...
I have 2 dew staps, that I use with my SCT and refractor in both cases I wrap them around the tube in front of corrector/or lens...what about newtonian..which...
So who is going to be at AIC next weekend? Perhaps a brief TAC-Imaging gathering would be in order to put faces with names, and such. Cheers Jim Livermore...
Jim, I'll be there, not too long on Friday, but for the most part on Sat & Sun. Now, how would I recognize any of you and viceversa? Should we write TAC in our...
Writing TAC on the corner of our badges would be a great idea. Trying to get everyone in the same place at the same time would be like herding cats..... And...
I'll be in town too. Looking forward to John's talk on Saturday and Ray's talk on Sunday. And of course the door prize drawing.!! .paul. [Non-text portions...
In my own experience it's the secondary of a Newtonian that has problems as well as the eyepieces, finders, and other stuff by the focuser. I did have a...
Hi Guys, Are you arranging a time/place to meet, or just relying on seeing each other? The reason I ask is that not going to get to AIC this year, but I'm only...
Some people are going gaga over this picture: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3181/3010522725_5b1dd13cb4_o.jpg but although I admit it's a nice composition,...
Things have been quiet here.... Last night was clear, but transparency left much to be desired, still, it was my first chance in weeks to do any deep sky...
An often imaged object, but I hadn't done the Horsehead for about two years so tried again. The difference between this and my older images shows what I've...
Hi Drew Comparing the two is really apples and oranges considering the difference in image scale. Both of the shots are most excellent! Way to go; Drew. ...
Thanks. One difference is the new image is enormously deeper (10.75 hours) and the reason for that is that I have gone to automated imaging (CCDCommander) so I...
Sounds great, but my setup is pretty grass roots with no go-to, and only rudimentary camera controls. As it is now, I'm pleased beyond words I can setup the...
... AP1200 mount. This is tandem with TOA for imaging and FS78 as guide scope. STL imaging camera, ST402 as guide camera. Maxim + TheSky6 for camera software....
Uh, I didn't know until you pointed it out. <blush> I wonder what else is lurking in our images? There is "another Witch Head" in this image, in the upper left...
