Hi Bob, Maybe I can help. I can't tell from your description exactly how your computer works, but I will guess. There are possibly several other options. One...
Wofgang, Looks outstanding! Only comment is that some of the stars look a bit washed out and lacking color. Star colors can usually be brought out by a...

Rick, what would the 'Restart' DOS command be so it could be issued from Run cmd line? Would it be a subparameter of shutdown? ie: /shutdown -restart ...joe...

Thanks Everyone, I have it working now. I set the BIOS to boot after a power failure and it works. I thought I had this set already, but I must have exited...
Hi Joe, I am not sure I know what you are asking. The "Boot on Time" is in the BIOS. The computer is not booted when this command gets executed. It will boot...
Hi Bob, Glad to hear it is working. I also now use the "Boot on Power" function in BIOS. I lke this better than the timer for manually initiated automated...

Hi Rick, I don't think you are missing anything. I would use this command more in an interactive mode to shutdown and reboot the system. I always leave my...

Hi, There actually is a way to start a computer remotely. It's through the network card if your bios supports it. You would have to set it up and when you send...

Hi all, Could somebody, in a few words, explain me why one would use binning? I see that some imagers are binning 2x2 the RGB channels but using 1x1 for the...
Hi Eddy, Binning has one advantage over not binning: it reduces the read-out noise of the camera. When taking filtered exposures of faint objects, read-out...
