... Hi Phil, I've added conventional HTML links to each of the pages at the bottom of the front page & also in the picture legend - that should work with any...
Jason, Very cool web. I especially like the Mars and Venus shots because they are more uncommon than the Jupiter and Saturn ones, although your J&S shots...
OK, the last "C" is redundant...:) I'm signed up for this conference, which begins with a reception tonight and runs through tomorrow at the Doubletree hotel...
I have been imaging lately with a Canon 20D SLR digital camera (8.2 mega pixel, ISO 3200). The biggest problem I have been having is getting a precise focus...
Sounds and looks good. (no pun intended.) Hmm.. I have one of those b&w TVs around here also. (not the same, mines a panasonic from the 70s.) But I think it...
Jeff, I like the Hartman mask idea and will give it a try. I am using long (300-600mm) camera lenses for my imaging, rather than mounting the camera to a scope...
The biggest thing I ever did for my focusing was switch completely to electric focusers (I now own 3 JMI's of various models for different OTA's). I found that...
For sale: Starlight Xpress HX916 CCD camera (1300 x 1050) and Homeyer CFW with SBIG IR-blocking RGB filters and an Astronomik Ha filter. Also an ST4...
If you use three holes spaced 120 degrees apart instead of the standard two, your mask will also help you with your collimation. Since each hole will give you...
I thought I'd spend some time reworking some of the data that I've captured before. I've just reprocessed images for the horsehead, m83, and ngc4490. The...
Hi Michelle, Nice to see that you are still imaging! The color looks pretty good in your images. As for your C14, maybe you just need to collimate it for the...
Ray, Thank you! I appreciate your comments. These are fairly nice images for web placement but for me, they leave much to be desired. I captured the data for...
Hi Michelle, I have been busy mostly with developing CCD software. My latest project, PEMPro, helps you to get the best possible periodic error correction...
By the way everyone, I did a little bit of beta testing of Ray's PEMPro software and IT ROCKS! I will definitely be a customer. Pete _____ From: Ray Gralak...
Hi Phil, Mounts that PEMPro has been validated include AP GTOs and Paramount ME's. Still in beta: LX200/LX200GPS, G-11/SkyWalker/Gemini. Other mounts to...
Thanks for the info, Ray. I have a "classic" LX200 and a Vixen GPDX with a Vixen 2000 goto. Sounds like the LX200 may be worth a try. ... Phil Chambers...
I'm working from memory here, but I think I had my PE down to about 1.5 arc seconds or so using it. It is very clever. It uses your CCD camera to measure PE...
Hi Pete, Thanks again for the feedback! Because of my publishing contract with CCDWare I cannot give away free copies without permission but I'll see if I can...
Hey Ray Thats looks really good, I assume as it does G-11/Gemini, is will do GM-8 ? --Ivor ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Hi Ivor, Sorry for the delayed response... I am really tied up at work this week. :-( We haven't tested any GM-8's so I don't know at this point. You could...
No problem Ray. Ill try it, it does have a serial port, and also uses LX200 protocol on the autoguider port. Thanks --Ivor ... [Non-text portions of this...
apologies to those that have seen this elsewhere. I finally got a decent image from the new 18" classical cass last night. I shot the Cocoon at f/12.6 (F=5760)...
Hi Richard, Nice work on your image! The scope looks like it is holding collimation well! You should try downloading PEMPro and measuring your PE. Since you...
... collimation well! ... are using an AO7 ... a couple tenths ... I will Ray. I just plan to wait a little bit because I just don't want any more complexity...
All, FYI - We have now posted up the first dozen images from the SSRO remote telescopes in New Mexico on a new web site located at www.starshadows.com. All...
Rick, Very interesting idea, and a nice web site as well. Look forward to seeing lots of great images once conditions improve at the NM site. The large images...
