Don et al: I won't be at the meeting tonight. Please re-schedule my short presentation on astrophotography with digital cameras until next month. I'll also...
It took me well nigh on 10 years to sucessfully capture a meteor. So be patient, Steve. Just think of the FILM you are not wasting! Keep those batteries...
The magnitude limit of Comet Machholz has been updated from 4.2 to 3.6 and is now visible naked eye even from my light-polluted front yard in the Kempsville...
Rick: Saw your "one-and-only". Nice! I guess amateur meteor-shooting is like amateur pearl-diving. And you're right, it *is* nice not to waste film, and to...
Kent, Thanks for the news. I saw Comet Machholtz easily a couple of times using 15x70 and 7x50 binoculars from my severely light-polluted front yard on Kent...

We in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach, VA area are stuck with the same cloudy cloudy weather conditions. I despise warm weather in the winter. It was nearly...

The Clear Sky Clock indicates a good night at Tuckahoe for tomorrow Saturday. Anybody going ? Remember to check with Don for the new lock combination if you...
... Jean, if the sky will be clear enough to take photos of Machholz, I'll be there until about 10 PM. Do we have permission from the rangers? I think this...
As you know I usually start of one of my talks with "We are all in this together." Well here is why. One of our groups needs some help. Take a few minutes...
Ok. That is our chance for this month. I have called the ranger and left a message some of us would be there. Ted Economou will be there also. The comet should...
About this time in 2002 I ordered a Meade 10" Schmidt-Newtonian package that included the scope and a GoTo Autostar mount. The scope is a 10" F-4 system that...

Don: If your scope is sky-jinxed, I'm glad you went to Blackbird last night, because Tucahoe was very clear until about 8:30 and clear with declining ...
Don, You might as well make the best of your jinxed scope. Is there an astronomer you dislike in another state? Take the scope there, set it up, and leave it. ...
... While the sky looked not-so transparent, I was surprised at the ease I found a number of faint Arp galaxies. I've sometimes seen this before, naked eye,...
... Bob, thanks for your suggestions! I use a Mac and Photoshop 6, and I need to find a tutorial on "stacking," or a Mac-based program that will do it for me....
Nick -- I tried to reply to your off-list email to me, and the message was returned as undeliverable: "This_account_has_been_disabled_or_discontinued." Send me...
