Hello to all....hoping for the brightest stars in the coming year. The year 2003 was a remarkably successful year of observation and transition for ASO. As...
Hi Bill, I have to admit that this is the first time this has happened for me. I don't know how to calculate the shadow path.. could you explain this to me? ...
Well guys, give me some time to download the latest version of Astorb.dat and I'll run it through WinOccult3 and see how close it came (assuming it cut a path...
I'll tell you what I know Chris. I have a glass filter for my ETX125 and like it. Here is a pic: http://tinyurl.com/sgb0 taken 10-26-03. As you can see it has...
Bill/Alan, Well it would have been a tough one as the object is assumed to be only 1.7km in diameter (based on its measured absolute magnitude). WinOccult did...
I've seen various postings in other forums negating the LX90's ability to do justice to anything but piggyback photography. From the pic's I've looked at in...
Jim: I just went through this same exercise. Number one..Be VERY careful when selecting voltage..too much and you'll fry your board..It appears that the Meade...
Thanks, Peter. That was exactly the information I was seeking. When I am astroimaging, I am remote from the telescope. My control and imaging computer is about...
Hi, Michael, What you're describing is essentially a helical focusser. Maybe I have a really good example, but I've found (original focusser) mirror shift ...
Hi, Herb, I've just posted a reply to Mike. But in your case, see in text... ... You bet! There are a number of alternatives. I bought a stereo (couldn't...
Bill, I think I emailed you about the NGC problem with earlier versions of Autostar. I got bob's knobs (scopestuff will work just as well). If you are patient...
Anyone built a pier that is not in concrete?? I've built and observatory and don't want to build a concrete pier right now as we will be moving in a year or...
Hi, thanks for the info. Has anyone tries (or knows) if the set listed on Ebay will be sufficient? I kepp reading all the bad things that can happen in a wrong...
Danny, Sorry, no ideas on the concrete issue, but took a look at your web site and it looks like your observatory is coming along very nicely. What is the...
It would be best if you repost your query in the Yahoo group digital_astro. Lots of info is available in that group...digital astrophotography is a big ...
NP. Just joined that group earlier this week. Of course the context is imaging of the sky through my new LX90, so if people are interested, I will reduce and...
Chris, You might check the September 2003 issue of Astronomy magazine "Selecting a Solar Filter" (page 106). I recently purchased the Kendrick model #6013 for...
Hi all , A couple of new images have now been added to my site showing ISS as seen for the first time in 2004. http://www.satcom.freeserve.co.uk/issmag.jpg ...
Hello group, I just found out that the successor of the Philips ToUcam Pro (designated as ToUcam Pro II and PCVC840K) does indeed have a CCD chip and not a...
I've just installed a steel pier from Le Seuer (sp?) Astro Pier (http://www.astropier.com) and am very pleased. They're somewhat pricey but you could fairly...
Hi, Andu, Thanks for the pointers, both with the knobs (which should be here soon) and with the NGC problem. The latter one is resolved, and has been since I...
Hi Matthew. Right now (as you will see on DA) the camera(s) of choice are the Canon 10D and Digital Rebel (AKA 300D, Kiss). I have the DR and like it a lot....
Hi Rick, It certainly is possible...I've been playing with prime focus shots through the LX90 of DSO's for a year or 2 now with the typical some good, some bad...
