Ido, That NGC 404 is certainly a tough subject with Mirach right in the same field of view. I remember a couple of years ago that I stumbled across NGC 404...
Did anyone get images of this asteroid as it passes thru this month??? Anyone take movies of the moon to search for meteorite impacts?? The best times were...
I have posted neo ephemerides of some asteroids and comets on my amseti group page; I am looking for people to post raw and processed images of these objects. ...
New scope, new images. I am getting used to the CN-212 in Newtonian mode. It is nice at f/3.5: very fast. I actually have to be very careful not to over-bloom...
For those of you who use or have used the SBIG ST-6 ccd camera, I have posted a new club for those users. If you are interested, please come on over and take...
Hi, Does anybody know if the: - Umax AstraPix 340 and - HP 215 digital camera could be modified for astrography ? I'll appreciate any help from you Regards, ...
John, those are very nice images. So good that I can ask if there is a little coma showing on the botton right of the Veil? Apart from the evidence of the...
Hi Serena, and all others, Yes indeed, that is coma showing its funny little distorions towards the edge of the CCD images. The CN-212 in Newtonian mode has a...
The Gemini v3 is fun to use and is giving much better goto accuracy than I expected. Spent most of my recent time (what with sailing and cloudy skies) building...
... Hi Serena, That's a nice image for just wanting a better look. Great job! It looks like the mount is working well for you. This site has been so quiet...
Hello everyone! This site has been very quiet and when I tried to get on to see Serena's nice image I found I had to rejoin but that's fixed now. Isn't Yahoo...
Hi Cal, I think they're great! Those are two nice images with good detail. Very natural looking without the usual artifacts people (like me) usually introduce...
Hi Serena, I'm using a Philips Toucam Pro model 740. I took the insides out and mounted it in a plastic work box I bought and Radio Shack, a local electronics...
Very nice job on both with lots of detail... Also shows that focus is not a problem for you :) buen cielo, Dan NM ... get ... fixed ... make ... planet ... ...
Cal! Good to see you here on the web again. Great images. I still have yet to get the nack of getting good planetary shots: you have mastered it!. ~johnb...

Thanks John. I couldn't get a decent planet image myself until I took off the expensive CCD camera and imaged through a $80.00 webcam. I wish now that I could...
One of the challenges I've set myself is to photograph a galaxy such as ngc 1566. This is a spiral galaxy about 8 arcmins in apparent diameter situated around...

Hi Janet, Thanks for your nice comment. Guess I'm comparing the image with one of a similar size and brightness galaxy in the SBIG advertisement in Feb S&T....
Finished processing this one today. The snow is coming down pretty hard, so hopefully this will remind people of the wonderful clear skies of New Hampshire...
Ah, Mr Bode should have looked more closely before he called it a nebula ;-) Very nice image. Good detail in the periphery. Incidentally, SkyChart III says...
Ahhhh Mr Bode would have been pleased. If he only had the availability of CCD equipment! Yep - I have been having a difficult time finding the "truth" as to...
Hi Dan, Ahhh hah! The secrets of CCD imaging being revealed. <kidding>. The luminance images were a combination of 5-minute integrations. I have troubles with...
