Wouldn't it be nice to have a clear Friday or Saturday night? It's been so long since we've seen any stars!! I discovered that the little PST solar scope...
Yes, Judy, I remember looking at stars at some time in the past. Wonder what will be up there when they return. I was at my dentist yesterday and he was...

Please note the new card that I have uploaded. Mark offered his excellent photo of the Ring Nebula, so I have inserted it. As I see it, this can be changed...
Don, The card is a great idea! I'm trying to get things set up so that we can listen to the Night Sky Network teleconference that was held on February 1 for...
Judy, Good idea. I listened to the Showalter presentation , but would like to hear it again. Definitely "missed a few things." Are we meeting at Blinn? I have...
I think we are meeting at the observatory, but I haven't been able to get in touch with Don Carona. I have the files on a flash drive. I use Windows but I...

Judy, The reason that the ppt files runs on my Mac is that I have Microsoft Office for Mac. I expect that Don Carona also has it on the machines at the...
Thanks, Don. I tried them on my daughter's computer and they worked. Judy ... From: debray1@... To: brazosastro@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, February...
That's a great image of Saturn, Anjal. Did you do that on Sunday? I was all set to go out Saturday night but the sky was terrible. It was smoke or dust I...
Anjay, That is one of the best that I have seen. Many shots are over colorized for effect, but your image is subtle, allowing many details to be easily seen. ...
Also, I like the composition with the moons. They show up better with the subtle presentation. Don ... Don E. Bray, Ph.D., P. E. Don E. Bray, Inc. Mail P. O....
Judy, Don and Mark, Thanks. I'm glad you liked the image. I took that image on the 25th (Sunday night). Seeing was really good that night. I spent close to...
Tonight from 7:32 to 7:35 the Space Station will make a pass over us at mag. -0.9. It should start in the northwest between Cassiopeia and Cepheus and...
Hi Gang, I acquired a Logitech Fusion Webcam recently. This webcam has a 1.3 megapixel (1280x960) sensor, unlike my Phillips Toucam pro which has a 0.3...
Don, That's a nice image of Saturn. What conditions were used to take it, and what scope did you use? I'd love to see your setup sometime, and maybe play...
Anjal, Thanks for your comments. The key to getting better images is, as you pointed out in the discussion of your latest Saturn image, to simply to get as...
Anjal, I haven't thought about the optical setup too much, other than the goal of getting the image as big as possible with what I have to work with. But,...
Don, Actually digiscoping knocks down image quality a lot. What you are doing with digiscoping is taking a magnified image of an image at the eyepiece....
Anjal, Those are good comments. I do take individual frames, not video, using a clamp to hold down the shutter button. It will run as long as the disk space...
