I got out for the first time in several weeks. Seeing was good, transparency fair enough to locate a few Hershel 400 galaxies and a couple of planetary...
Well, I did go out for a bit... but with my DSI back at meade as well as my new mount I couldn't image. I did poke around M13, M71, M57, M92.. split a few...
Attached, please find the latest issue of the Custer Comment, the monthly journal of Custer Institute. You are receiving the electronic edition in lieu of the...
Tonight will be a great opportunity to image or view Deep Impact's Comet Temple 1(mag 9.6) and Ngc4900(mag 11.4)in the same FOV. They will be 34' apart. ______...
Hello All! I'm glad my Jupiter image made it to the front!!!! I recently posted my first presentable image taken with my SBIG ST7 - ABG, with a Celestron C8...
In a message dated 6/3/2005 8:28:28 AM Eastern Standard Time, ... That's a great image, Steve. I guess that's my goal with a film camera, to teach myself to...
Thanks Jim! The person to really ask is Jeff, but I think there are programs that will let you access the numbers and perform mathematical manipulations on the...
Hi Jim, with AIP (austostar image processing) you can box an aera and export the numerical value to excel or other program. but thats only with FITS and thats...
A lot of you probably already know this, but I didn't so thought I'd pass it on just in case. I've got a note into Chuck to see if we can do something 8/27 to...
How was conditions Sat. night? Many people? I wanted to go out but was too tired. Checking the Clear Sky Clock, it looked like the transparency was going to be...
Hello Howie, I got out there first. I set up my PST, and there was guite a bit of activity. There were many proms and filaments. In white light there was ...
Was the view on DSO's washed out because of the bad transparency? At my house in Center Moriches, the water vapor in the air reflected the surounding light in...
Howie, The transparency was below average but at least you could get some observing in. I called it fair, but the seeing was good so I chased fuzzies all...
False alarm. I got that email from Nikki. Naturally, got excited, given the amount of public and money the last event brought. Told Barbara all about it...
It sure was below average. From my backyard, the air was full of moisture and left my scope looking like it was dunked in water. But I managed to get a shot in...
Hi Mike, I liked NGC 6960. Tre' bien. If you are up to travel out some night, give me a call. My scope was wet too. What's nice is that it doesn't seem to...
They say October-November will be pretty close, and Mars will be higher in our sky, out of the soup. I told lots of people back then that _our_ view could be...
Steve how did you make out with comet Tempel? I found it lastnite, I think I may have had it Sat and again sun. But I wasn't expecting it to be as small as it...
TERRIFIC KURT!! If the weather is nice on Sat. you can find it in the 14 and we either can use Custer's DSI or my SBIG. The problem with me finding it at my...
Shouldn't be too hard to find. Look at it when it is near an NGC object. Do a GOTO to the NGC and pan around it using an EP that you know the measurements....
Actually it is in Virgo. A galaxy crowded area. On this Sat. it will be about 3.4-3.7deg from NGC4900 and NGC4753. If you use the two galaxies as the bottom...
Howie, I looked it up in The Sky for that date and time, and I put in a 42mm Orion DeepView EP and the C14 f-11 FOV, and the three objects were not in the FOV....
Actually I was calculating for this Saturday night. I was using a PDA astronomical program (called Planetarium -- http://www.aho.ch/pilotplanets/) that gives...
