Jim, Thank you very much, both are good idears. The Ceravolo has a 3/8 bolt no 1/4 by 20 normal camera threads. I've been considering either replacating the...
There are 3/8 nuts & bolts in the drawer in the tool bench. I think there's 3/8 taps too, but maybe only 1 of each thread and you might have to hunt for them....
I'd like to help you, but I don't know the focal length of the Ceravolo. A ratio of 2/1 guidescope/imaging scope is usually ok. For shorter exposures, you can...
Hi Gang, First, happy New Year. Kirt, for the guide scope/camera resolution, it should be about 1/2 the resolution of the imaging camera. If the imaging camera...
Thanks Mike, I have dark frames from the night I took the images, but was unhappy with how they looked with the dark frames subtracted. I took two frames with...
Jim, Saturday I left a Wireless router and 4 port hub along with a USB wireless reciever. I know that the Hub works, but I'm unsure about the Wireless part....
Kurt, Did you get any images on Sat. night. I got one of M45 with my SBIG from my house. Right now I can't email it to the group because I'm at work. Did you...
Hello Steve, I didn't do any imaging. There were high cloud bands, Dave C. had the 13" DOB and his binoculars set up. Q2 was visible to the naked eye, I'd...
Hi Steve, et al. The Board meeting has been moved to Sat. 1/15 at 4PM, followed by Tom Madigan's lecture at 7:30. Any word on the C14? Happy New Year!...

Howie, Cherry Springs is now taking reservations for the Star Party June 2-6, 2005. I've got mine already. They will take paypal or snail mail orders. Are...
I have a wireless NIC pc-card in my laptop. We can try it out on Sat. night. Steve ... kicks in and supercedes it. I think I'll be there on the 15th....
I looked at the CSC and at 8:00PM tomorrow, it is supposed to clear up. I would like to image M1 with my DSI through the Ceravolo. Hopefully a guidescope can...
Friday is an option to take a day off from work. The early bird gets the best site. There are only so many with 120 volt outlets nearby. Definitely come...
Sounds like too many people and too many rules to me. I will not be going. I'll go out there one clear night in the summer when I'm off from work. Steve ... ...
Those rules apply whether there's a formal star party or not. Informal gatherings during dark periods sometimes bring 100 people to observe. 500 people in this...
I do plan on it. I'll get my RSVP ASAP. Mike Siniscalchi ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Easier than ever with enhanced...
Mike, Last year, I left midday on Thursday and made it in time to pitch my tent before sunset. I was still not near a power outlet, which I hadn't planned on...
I agree with John. The rules are mostly common sense to protect the skies for everyone to enjoy. You really are antisocial to turn on bright lights in that...
Hi, Really great photos! I am especially impressed by the quality of those taken with the Digital Rebel; they look as good as--if not better than--the photos...
Kurt, is the router a standard Cat5 ethernet, or is it USB? I've worked with Cat5, and can attest to its ease of configuration, reliability, and compatibility...
The rules that you guys are referring to are the rules of the park. The people running Star Parties do not make up these rules. This park is maintained by the...
Hi Bill-- You bet, I wouldn't miss it. Already signed up. There's a group of Custer/Asli people already signed up. BTW, were looking at having an informal star...
The rules are common sense. I don't mind them at all. One nice thing about a big crowd are the astro items people put on sale at their camp setups for really ...
