Thanks, John. Amazing what you can do these days with a small scope and digital video. Having some kind of good time now. Jim Livermore ... digital ... moved...
Hello all, Happy Intl. Year of Astronomy! I want to install my RoboFocus to my New Q. Now, the RF I have came with a couple of brackets, one of which is...

John... Holy cow!! WOW!!! I usually do not care for the color choices tri-color narrowband images are posted with but this is just beautiful. Nice work! -Ray...
Jim, I agree with the others. This is a very sharp image! Nice work., What did you use to make the mosaic? (EQMOSAIC to collect the data? What do you like to...
Hi Ray I'm just using Photo Shop 5.0 for combining the mosaic frames. This one went together without needing to feather the frame edges. Trick is to use the...
...I think I need a bigger monitor.... Sheesh; John, this image is overwhelming! A fabulous piece of work. Not being any too familiar with this portion of...
Just saw this: http://www.margesmonograms.com/index.php?category=23&parent=23 $29.95 for a piece of cloth in a ziplog bag?? I swear I'm going to get into...

The nice part is, all I'm doing to changing out my CCD camera with a video camera and Barlow. I really need to get off my butt and start using the 6 inch...
I've noticed with the planets that with the 4 inch, the planets tends to move about with the turbulence. With the 6 inch, especially the 10 inch, the planet...
The seeing in the Bay Area seems to vary enormously with micro location. I have poor seeing (like you apparently do) and have trouble with anything of even...
