Richard, Firstly, excellent M101 image. I suspect the guys at my local astro soc. would tut-tut at CCD images of 11 hours. A lot of them are film based and see...
Hi Richard, first of all, a great image! I'm currently learning CCD techniques with a C8 with an ST-402ME, but I'm ordering a C11 in the next months. I'm VERY...
I gave up CRT's five years ago! radiation was turning me red in my prized jewels..:-) i find the printers are the great 'equalizers" as long as you caliberate...
Richard, A very good image and your process is perfect, colors look like natural. Good idea to see the luminance also to compare with the colors. Nicolas...
Richard, I would be very grateful to you for the auto-guiding calculator. You have the expertise, and this would save me (and I am sure many others) hours of...
Richard, I would also appreciate your continuing to work on the auto-guiding calculator. I echo Dale's sentiments below. Your results and e-mails are in my...
George, "Prism (a French software package) has a nice routine that measures all the FWHM in an image and represents them as vectors which helps no end with...
Thank you George, I will see if I can get a version of it finished today. I will post a link as soon as I have something workable. Best, rb Richard A. Bennion ...
Richard, thanx for a most inspiring shot of 101. 11 hours of exposure in todays world is an amazing feat....i'm guessing backed up by an equal amount of...
The additional color data definitely improves the saturation of the color nicely. However, the second version does not have as much luminance boost, and the...
Hi Rick, Please continue work on this calculator. I find your calculator, techniques and processing tips very useful and very well written. You defintely have...
Thanks Bruce, BTW - I am not selling the calculator, just posting it on the web for all to use. Right now I use a speadsheet. But from you Bruce, I will gladly...
Hi Andrew, I'm using them, but haven't communicated via email recently. My site seems to be up now. I know Rob was installing new servers about a month ago and...
Hi Rob, Very cool. It looks like you might have some collimation issues on the scope. I tried something similar a while back but on a much smaller scale (the...

Thanks for the replies from everyone. I have learned that I need to replace my "coarse" rack and pinion focuser on my TV101 with something like a precision...
Unfortunately, adding another focuser (I think that's what you mean) gives you a few more joints to flex. You can add a Robofocus directly to your present...
That's cool charles. Iv'e had the following on my website for about five uears now. It's what I experienced travelling to Mt St Helens on a regular basis (in...
