Hi All, Dragged myself out of bed this morning at 3:30 to take an image of Mars using the Philips ToUcam. It was a beautiful morning. Quiet and peaceful with...
that was definitely worth the sacrifice, Phil. ... From: Philip Terzian To: James Turley ; Imaging TAC ; Geoff Collins ; Richard Crisp ; John P Gleason ; Rob...
Sweet! That's really beautiful, Phil. Your work has improved so much, keep it up. I love seeing your images. Do you remove the lens from the Toucam? How do...
A very dramatic image, Phil. Way to go. Was the air bumpy ahead of the incoming overcast? Out here in Livermore, I find that the humidity goes up just ahead...
A few nights back after doing some deep sky imaging with my Orion 80ED, just for the heck of it I swung over to Mars and stacked a couple barlows. Was pretty...
JIm, I didn't notice a deterioration of the seeing prior to the the marine layer's arrival, but I had only been at it for about 45 minutes by then, so I didn't...
Thanks Paul, Yes, the lens is removed by simply unscrewing it, then is replaced with an adapter that allows you to slip the camera into a 1.25" focuser. For...
Folks, I'm very excited to announce the availability of a new version of my image evaluation software tool, StarSieve. Version 1.0.5 provides many enhancements...
HI All, Here is a processing technique that I have been playing around with lately. The object is to colorize H-alpha images in such a way that bright areas,...
Phil, I did a google image search, and saw it in many of the other images on the web. Oddly, some don't show it very well or at all, but many did. I doubt all...
... lately. The object is to colorize H-alpha images in such a way that bright areas, including stars, are rendered in shades of bright red or white in order...
Hi Seeing was a bit bumpy over the weekend here in Livermore but I got a pretty respectable image with the Orion 80ED and Atik 2HS camera. This single image is...
That's a cool image, Jim. Your enthusiasm and joy are great, keep sending those images! Paul Sterngold ... __________________________________________________ ...
It's been over a year since my last image. I sold much of my imaging equipment. Some day, I will get back into it. A year or two ago, it seemed that...
Sadly... mostly the same old, same old. Parallel ST-8. MAN I'm getting tired of 1 minute downloads and bad blue sensitivity. I do have a Rebel XT (stock) that...

Not changed much in a couple of years, still got the HX916, although I did get a new (manual) filter wheel last year. Looking at getting a DSLR as I have seen...
Hi Paul, Mostly the same equipment except one new refractor <G>: But I know what you mean... I hardly use any of my equipment. Some of it is going up for sale...
... No no no...send it here to Sonoita, I'll put it to good use...:)... Heck you could even put a remote observatory here, I already have one that is run over...
There has been quite a bit of advancement in the lower end of CCD imaging, specifically the introduction of 8-bit CCD cameras. Though still based on web cam...
One of the reasons for the slow down in new product announcements is that the astronomy market is practically dead. Most every company owner that I have...
... LOL. I will either use it more frequently for visual observing, or I will sell it. I find the idea of remote imaging unsatisfying, but maybe you've got...
Hey, I tried :)...I am like Ray in the regard that I had an AP155 but sold it as I never used it. Sort of wish I had it, sort of not. The remote observatory...
I think he means the increase in sensitivity and performance of the simple 8 bitters. The Sony EX-HAD chips for instance. There is real improvement in low...
Yeah, those that have evolved more recently out of the web cam technology. Jim ... mean ... Though ... pretty ... I ... much ... <psterngold@y...> ... heard ...
