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...
Well there I was freezin in the dome when my Yahoo! Messenger buzzed at me and a long time collaborative friend (getting his PhD in astronomy) was there typing...
Hi i am building a ccd camera for a Medicalimaging application. My require is to display the LIve video on TV. I have to interface a ccd to analong front...

Hi there everyone, Well, we had a nice start to the evening last night allowing for a few good minutes of deep sky imaging. I had about 30 minutes to capture...
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...
Hello everyone, Well - I just got done playing around a bit during the last clear night we had. As many of you know, I do a lot of photometry of variable stars...
John, the image looks fine and I can't see anything wrong with the colour balance. Of course you know that however much and clever the equipment you own, it is...
I have an SCT 10, use ST237, and F6.3 focal reducer (high power). The tracking at +/- 0.5% adjustment seems to be just too slow or just too fast. Is there...
Mr Gray, you haven't specified the type of mount your SCT 10 is on. So can't advise for you particular case. However in general terms the answer is "no". The...
Hello, A nice clear evening last night. There were no cataclysmics to monitor, so it was pretty-picture-taking-time ;-) Here is one of the Cocoon Nebula. It...
That is a nice image John. Interesting to have a diffuse nebula in the "middle" of an open cluster -- are these related objects or just optical coincidences?...
Hi Serena, It is a neat subject. The open cluster is loose and not very well condensed, and there is a definite dark nebula visible strong in the northern...
Another nice clear night with reasonable seeing lead to this image. This is the Swan Nebula, one of my favorites, because in the eyepiece, it actually looks...
Serena, I have an older shot of the same nebula/cluster taken with the wider field of view of the FSQ-106n at f/5. The camera was essentially the same. The...
Hello John, I guess because of the blooming you stacked a number of < 60 sec exposures. Or did you remove the blooming in post-processing. Easy for me to...
Hi Serena, Is it winter now, yet ;-) We are in a heat wave here: 26.5C out now and it is only 9:30 in the morning! Thanks for the kind words on the Swan...
This is an image from last night's efforts on a dozen or so variable stars. I took a series of shots of M-33 and combined them in MaxImDL and Photoshop to get...
Hello, Happy New Year! Here is a new image of comet Machholz... which is naked eye now in the southern sky and headed up to M-45. Check it out. The comet has a...
Two new images from the past week. M42 (yeah, again), and the Horsehead/Flame area. Both were my first shots at using H-Alpha for color luminance portions of...
