Alan, Beautiful! You captured a violent event and brought out the delicate structure within. Best Regards, Dave Jurasevich ... half ... the ... Coronado...
Hi guys, Thanks for sharing your comments! The sun offered more treats today. Unfortunately skies were much more turbulent, but an hour under the solar blanket...
Great picture Alan. I was enjoying that same loop prominence today through my AP Traveler and Lunt LS50FHa2/B600 (50mm filter with 6mm blocking filer - Lunt...
Hi Philip, Yes, I'll be there. Look forwarding to seeing you (and your family too I hope!) cheers, Alan ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
This was a frustrating night! It was partially cloudy with fast winds. It was also cloudy only at the area around Jupiter! It alternated between over cast...
On my AP900QMD I have the option of tightening the Dec finger tight only or pulling out an Allen key and locking it down more. (This would require loosening...
Greg -- I crank them down as tight as I can get them with my fingers (pretty tight, but no Allen key). I usually have considerable imbalance in my Dec since I...
... Greg, The scope should be fairly well balanced around the Dec axis, so I am a bit confused about the "awful lot of weight pulling the mount 'forward and...
Argo Navis is accurate and points fine, but it does so by "characterizing" the mount. What's odd is to see the characterization shift so much between two...
Hello again. First of all: Thank you very much for your feedback! Regarding the image ... I have a controversial discussion at a German astronomy forum. Some ...
Hello Stefan, in my opinion, a "high resolution image" is an image that is as close as possible to the theoritical limit of the optic used to make the image?...
Stefan, Sometimes the "debates" a post or photo inspire are weird. I guess I would define high resolution as closely approaching the full resolution of the...
Hi Stefan, Some seem to use "high resolution" as a description of the quality of an image. I prefer to use it to describe the decision by the photographer to...
Stefan, Your image is not just high resolution. It is EXTREMELY high resolution being able to resolve very fine lunar details. John ... From: Stefan Seip...
Stefan, I am wondering if there is confusion between high-res and high-power. My understanding of hires is the original image captured since quite often we...
Stefan: I understand as high resolution imaging, the image taken at the highest useful focal length of a given aperture objective, as also the use of the...

Right, the altitude adjustment which for some reason I associate with Dec whereas the azimuth locks I associate with RA. I believe this to be a learned...
... Ok....you're making this way too complicated. In your first posts I thought you were referring to the 'clutch' knobs, of which there are four on both the...
My friend Dick Bower and I shot these last night with his Canon Eos Rebel XTi DSLR and my f/6/6 Stowaway on my Losmandy G11 equatorial mount. I did a careful...
Seeing was excellent this evening. Again, I had to deal with clouds that seem to enjoy teasing me by covering Jupiter every now and then. Note the bluish...
Greg -- Ahh... the altitude locks are a whole 'nother story. You definitely want to lock them down (and I can definitely see where tightening them would...
Thanks for the clarification. Well the amazing thing is how well AN was working even with the altitude locks only finger tight. Thank you very much for the...
Dear group, I used the opportunity last night to pursue the transit of exoplanet HD 209458b in Pegasus. This exoplanet is particularly interesting since it is...
