Peter, the scan that came with the Baadar showed very sharp cutoffs at 400 and 700 nm with the UV and NIR blocked. I find it hard to accept your premise about...
The curve that I was referring to was the one on the Adirondack web site. There, below the sharp cut-off at 400nm, is another peak extending down to nearly...
Don't know much about registax, but I do know a bit about image resampling and image registration as I have developed software to do both. What i know about ...

Tom, That's excellent work. The fast shutter speed of the Rebel makes it ideal for lunar work. Your processing looks good to me. Details are crisp and the...
Hi group, I have a problem ,i have a laptop witch only has USB port there is no Com 1 port on it.How can i connect it to my Nexstar 11????? I have beautiful...
You need a USB to serial converter. Check out the Edgeport series of products, they seem to have a very good record of compatibility, and just about any...
... You need a USB-to-serial adapter. I've had good success with small units that hang on the end of a cable, and cost about US$20, as well as an separate box...
Unless I'm missing something, they should be good at over $200 for a USB two RS232 port model! Wow!! Here in the UK, you can't even find a price listing for...
... As I mentioned in my post, I've had good luck with the $20 "dongles" that are readily available on ebay. I know there's been some discussion on this list...
Peter, just spectrally measured the Baader filter here at work. The small peaks that you see posted at Adirondack below 400 nm are there. They amount to only...
I've been working with my 76ED for a few weeks now and thought I might share a few of the images. I've been very impressed with the scope and accessories. Very...
I'm interested in getting one of these cameras, but I'm not sure which one to get. Does anyone have any advice on which one to get? They both look pretty...
Don: By any chance have you measured Schuler's Not IR/UV filter? I've been using it to cut blue bloat on my Tak FS60C with great results, but just wonder how...
Tom, I'm using the ST-2000XM (with the KAI-2000M sensor) on my 10" LX200 classic with good results. I use the AO-7, which I would never do without while using...
Tom, I've been imaging with my 10" LX200 Classic for three years, first with an SBIG ST-7E and more recently with an ST-8XE. I can tell you from personal...
Hi Randy, Thanks! Told you I'd make it here eventually - just too many good groups to participate in and too few hours in a day! I still try and see every...
Both are very good cameras. If it were me (especially if I had an LX mount) I would strongly lean towards the SBIG camera. The built in guide chip is very...
This question will always get lots of responses, and the discussion can become "vigorous". However, I think that the bottom line is fairly simple--with the LX...
Just as a follow up to my post along with Matt's and Mark's...There was mention of binning to better match the pixel size with the longer FL of your scope if...
You can try this, too: http://www.scopestuff.com/ss_usbr.htm I don't have personal experience with this item, but I have bought items from Jim at Scopestuff...
Randy's point is a very good one, and one which I neglected to mention. It would be rare circumstances indeed where you could image at full focal length,...
