I took my 20Da and Astrotrac to southeastern AZ last week. Here are some pictures I took (of the sky not the site). http://www.robhawley.net/sg09/ The trip...
Thanks. Those are very nice. I'm glad to see the far southern targets and I've always liked really wide field images. The Sagitarius image is particularly...
... Thanks You may enjoy the pictures of the southern Milky Way from Costa Rica. http://www.robhawley.net/CR07 I took these on Gary Seronik's barn door mount....
... I hadn't thought of Costa Rica. Nor Astrotrac. I went to New Zealand last fall (or spring depending on how you look at it) but only brought a WO Z66...
Fyi.. Posted these a while ago, but no takers.. Finally got around to posting them to amart, and also thought I'd drop the price to move them along... Just...
Hi all, just a heads up that I'm going to post this on Amart later today. I'll also be in the Bay Area late next week so I could actually deliver if anyone is...

Damn....hate have to pass that one up..... Thanks for the heads-up, though. Been following your stuff on the Sierra Remote site. Some incredible color work,...
So, size does count..... Picked up a C9.25 earlier this week and had a go at Saturn on a couple evenings. Though the skies have been clear, the seeing totally...
Here's a bit more of a work up in Photo Shop. Really looking forward to some good seeing! http://www.lafterhall.com/dmk_c925_saturn_w25_090509ut_001.jpg Jim ...
Jim, seeing all of your lunar and planetary images is making me want to give it a try. I'm keeping my eye out on A-Mart for a camera so I can have a go at it. ...
Hi Iver Saturn has been particularly interesting. Keep hoping to catch a shadow transit by Titan. Sadly, Jupiter is not going to be easy to work with over...
I am using FITS liberator for Phtoshsop, while its doing great job on non linear stretch, most of the stars get overblown and out of shape, can anyone...
You want to do most of your stretching, and get close to the final image working with a FITS image (ie as a 16 or 32 bit Float image) and only convert to a 16...
Drew, thank you for suggestions, but I did not mean to ask the difference between FITS and TIFF stretching, I am asking in general, what is the good way to...
... Create a star mask as good as possible. I use the "A Trous Wavelet Transform" tool from PixInsight (it gives me more control than the bulitin "Star mask"...
I think this scope and I are going to get along just fine. Despite so-so seeing, this shot came out most promising. C9 @ f/10, 3 frame mosaic, DMK21 camera....
Very nice, Jim. You always do a nice job techincally. As I understand it the C9.25 and C14 are the best Celestron OTAs (I have a C11 and C6 <G>). I hope to do...
Thanks, Drew, it continues to be fun. As for 'best' scope thing, I typically have to chuckle at comparisons and stat' numbers presented for various aperture...
I posted this on other forums but no replies so far...I have an SCT scope on the wedge drift aligned (no star movement for at least 5 minutes due south or...
