I see that Yahoo strips out photos from postings to the group I've uploaded the photo referred to in my previous posting as 'Orion' in the the folder DCawley...
Hi all I have now set up a page http://mysite.freeserve.com/satcom_transits specifically for broadband users to view full scale animations of satellites...
Hi Dave, I have exactly the same setup as you so perhaps I can shed a little light on this? In my experience at full zoom the FOV will be so small that...
Hi Dave, Ian has given some excellent advice. I'd just like to add that you might want to practice some logarithmic histogram stretching on you images. The...
Group The subject of collimation ........ I've searched the archives to no avail regarding my specific question. I have read and tried the available methods...
Dr. Clay, I will be changing how I bring in my scope! No more plastic. I'll start looking for some desiccant as well. Your sharing of your experience is ...
Your almost correct. Polar does not track better than Alt/Az it is just that you are seeing field rotation because the scope is not aligned with the polar...

Well, actually Polar configuration SHOULD track far better that Alt-Azimuth if the alignment is accurate; you are dealing with only one motion parameter, that...
Yes - of course. I didn't think of that. Sorry about the mangled/double posts. The Yahoo site appears to be behaving oddly lately. Cheers David ... ...
Hi Ladies, I'm fairly new to this group and was wondering if there was any Aussie Ladies out there who are members of this group. If so, where are you...
Hi Dave: 60 secs exp. is a lot of time for LX90 at F:10 without autoguide. You can take several images at 20 secs exp and then align and stacking with...
What's the difference between a 6.3 Focal Reducer and a 3.3 and why would you select one over the other? Mike Tod [Non-text portions of this message have been...
A focal reducer will reduce the apparent focal length of your scope by it's factor. ie the f/6.3 will reduce an f/10 scope to f/6.3 (multiply by 0.63) The...
f/3.3 focal reducers are made specifically for CCD astro cameras. They have no value for visual observing nor digital cameras. f/6.3 focal reducers are made...
Hi Dennis, you got a good point there. I also was asking myself what to buy first (wedge or focal reducer(s)). Because of a lot awnsers I got from you and some...
Hey, What software would you like to use ? I'm using linux here to control my scope, work like a charm ! As far as i know Mac is now a bsd like OS, why should...
Hello michael, I've posted a question about collimation with a ccd chip. The fact is i've no reply about this method at this time. Anybody can comment the...
It should work just fine since most are communicating using a "standard" COM port. I do know that the ASU program works under Virtual PC as I have a friend...
Henry, Thanks for the JMI report. I ended up with a 1650, but had looked at the JMI. Decided against it based on comments of it being not that sturdy. I made...
I made a template from poster board. Just layed the scope on it and traced around the outside. I then cut it out. Layed it on the foam and traced it with a...
Hi guys, Hugh, I've tried that method before (using my eye instead of a CCD) and didn't think it was much of an improvement over the traditional collimation...
Hi all, Some of you may be aware of this or already have a carrying case that works pretty well, but for those of you who don't, I just wanted to pass on a...
