To put your mind at ease, I have CS3 normal edition and it does have smart filters although they haven't found their way strongly into my processing. I agree...

Larry, ... I think so. Here's an expanded list of the features in CS4: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/features/?view=topoverall And the top...
Kevin, Thanks for the follow up and it looks to me also that Smart Filters and Smart Objects are included. I have preordered CS4 and it is due to ship on Nov....
The internal guider on my ST2k works great but there are those times when a good guide star just can't be found. I already have a WO FD 80 scope ridgidly...
Hi Frank, I'd try to score a DSI-Pro or even DSI-II-Pro on AstroMart and pocket the remainder. I didn't verify that they work with CCDSoft, sorry. I use a...
I've manually run TPoint several times and have the RA and Elevation adjusted reasonably well. I'm now ready to use Automapper to further refine the pointing...
I think you misunderstand how Automapper works. It has nothing whatsoever to do with stars. Automapper generates a list of positions in the sky. These are not...
Hi Frank, Our 'Lodestar' guider may be worth a look. It's exceptionally sensitive and very compact. Regards, Terry (SX Ltd) ... From: Photon Collector EL To:...
I want to second Terry's statement as a very happy customer. Gone are the days were finding a guide star was a major pain in the neck. No more fumbling around...
I use an Atik 16IC, it has had some moisture/frost issues on occasion (it is a cooled camera with no cooler control), so it is best NOT to leave it in the...
Frank, I have gotten very good results with the Starfish, uncooled version, with a 80mm f/6.3 guide scope. There are always lots of stars and the noise is...
When I went shopping for a guider camera, I wanted something that would last a long time, as my equipment changed. That meant big chip, small pixels,...
Frank, I have an older ST-10 and went through the same thought process of upgrading to the remote port, etc. Very expensive... I have been using the Orion...
Hi Frank, One nice feature about using external guiders with SBIG cameras is that the guide signals can still be fed to the mount via the SBIG camera's relays....
This image is of a nice widish field around the beautifull spiral NGC 6744 in Pavo. I wanted to go much deeper over the two days but I lost a number of subs...
Used ST-237's are on Astromart fore about $450-500. Used ST-5's are $350 Used ST-7's sell for $500-$550. If you already know how to guide with the ST-2000,...
Hi Tom I had exactly the same idea of hybrid if you are pigybacking 2 scopes , to use CCD for luminance/detail and DSLR for color and wide filed and than...
As a past user of the Debloomer software, I need to load the plug-in onto a reformatted hard drive but found that the installation executable is either no...
... Hi J, The Starfish camera's peak QE is 56% compaired the the ST-402 at 85%. I would think the ST-402 is over 30% more sensitive than the Starfish. David ...
If you download the source, it will include a copy of the DLLs. You can load the appropriate DLL into the correct MaxIm/CCDSoft folder and use it. Ron Wodaski ...
