Anyone getting ready to image Mars? I saw it this morning at 4:00am nice and high in the sky. Yawn. A bit early in the morning though. August should be good! ...
... Hello John, Yes, indeed. Probably not quite in the way you have in mind. I'm about to pour concrete. My pier at Port Melbourne allows too much vibration,...
... Well, congratulations on the new concrete pour! I hope it all goes well and in an uneventful manner! We had to do the same thing when we poured. A truck...
Mars is a centre of attention and I'm sure all of you are busy taking pictures of the planet, but where are they? Time to start putting them in the "planets"...

Some more Mars images. I am slowly getting the hang of taking planetary images, but I have to admit that it can be the most tedious thing ever in the imaging...
... I have wondered how vibration free fans could be made at affordable prices. The improvement in definition without the fan is quite marked. Now all you have...
Heheheh! Yep! You are right. Some day I'll get a webcam... for now, the b&w imaging of the 237 will have to do. Yes - I was really amazed at the overall trauma...
I was able to do some Mars imaging last weekend under fabulous skies. What was particularly interesting is how fast the South Polar Cap is receding! Compared...
Here are a couple of new images taken last night... It was the first clear night in many a long while. Both are galaxies in Pegasus. Both of the objects are...
I spent the first ten minutes of the aurora show watching them while on my back in the grass in the front yard... then it came to me: FILM THIS! So... I went...

John, Both excellent images (as always). You've tempted me to have a look at Sculptor, which is nicely positioned for me. Yes Saturn. Last night, getting home...
... That's a nice crab John. Hey how do you like the CN212? Do you use it mostly as a cassegrain or as a newt? How about collimation of it in Newt mode, is it...
Thanks for the kind words Richard. Your shots are also lovely and very interesting on the color side. I spent quite a bit of time on your website intrigued by...
And Happy New Year to you as well, Serena! Thanks. These images were fun - after the many nights spent hunting down strange variable stars. I hope you get a...
Well, having gone through the New Astronomy book, I was able to dig out the old original images for the Horsehead and re-edit using much better techniques. I...
This is forwarded from AAVSO HQ: Dear members, staff, and friends of the AAVSO. It is my very sad duty to inform you all that Dr. Janet Mattei died at 4:20 PM...
