Hi Jim & Robin, Thanks for your replies. I run the scope on AC power out in the observatory. The idea of a heater for the AutoStar sounds good--I can plug it...
Rodger, Of the Polar align methods in the Autostar, I like the One-Star Align. This is extremely close to the Kochab clock method described by Dr Clay. After...
I imaged Q2 Machholz and have a movie showing its motion across the sky during a 96 minute period. The comet was clearly visible under the full moon with the...
Ed, I agree with the other comments that this is one of the best I have seen. I hope to get a try at Saturn tonight with my ToucamPro and LX90. I am hoping ...
Seriously impressive stuff. One day I hope to be able to do similar work ... one day <sigh>. Regards Robin Clear skies and warm feet! (expat Brit in Czech...
Mark, Thanks, you are correct that this is usually an option. I am using a 2" diagonal with Borg helical focuser, so if I put on the original visual back and...
Good job Ed! What a great way to ring in the new year! I was observing last night too, during a break in all the rain we've been getting in SoCal. Saturn was...
Hi Wayne, Thanks for the kind words. I always use the 640x480 mode because of the larger image scale and higher resolution. I did capture the avi for 4 1/2...
Hi Terry, The main recipe is to have the telescope well collimated and use a 2x or 3x Barlow, this was taken with a 2x barlow and the seeing was about a 5/10,...
Hi, LX90, with a 2x Barlow and a Vesta Pro 680, it was 2x3minute AVI's combined in K3CCD and Registax. I've put a more detailed explination in a previous note...
Hi, Excellent Image Ed. Chris ... December 31, 2004 from eastern Massachusetts. ... Phillips ToUcam Pro 2 with a Baader IR-UV block filter was used. 1044/1351...

Despite complete "cloud" coverage and rather a lot of light pollution, I did manage to take a couple of nice images of last night's show: ...
Nice work, Dennis. That's some page you've put together there. Man, that thing is really shifting now! I had a quick look tonight with the LX90 wondering if...
... Nice one, Ed! It's certainly up there with the best I've seen and even comparible to images taken with scopes twice the size of the LX90. I'm also dying to...
I finally placed the order and it's for a 17mm Nagler T4 - all being well it should be here next week, and I'll of course be back to report how it goes. Going...
Hi Steve, Great job with the new found deep sky objects. Is that the same camera you used on some of your lunar photos? It takes great pictures. Thanks for the...
... Yep, the very same. I bought it long before I got into astronomy but figured all the manual settings would come in handy some day. It takes some cracking...
Hi Steve, Thanks for checking out the comet page, I really do miss the visual observing. My finest hours were with the LX-90 in the observatory on the alt-az...
Hi Dennis, I agree with Steve, you've done a nice job with your site. The animation is very nice, that must have taken a bit of work to put together. Clear...
Hi Rodger, Whilst waiting for good weather, I'd advise that you try to physically put the LX90 on a wedge in the daytime and try out doing various things and...
Hi All This topic may have been discussed many times previously but can anyone advise on how the new LNT compares to the previous model - i.e is it a...
Hi John, What I think is happening and it also happens to me is that the grease that's coating the gears thickens from the cold. I believe it's ordinary...
Hi All, I want to thank everyone in this group for all the positive comments I recieved. I'm glad I belong to a group with so many knowledgable, helpful and...
Hi, I updated to version 33ef and tried one of Dick's patches for the first time, I wanted to be able to try out Andrew Johansen's PEC editor. Autostar seems...
Can't comment on the LNT version, but it's not available in the UK yet, and Meade UK will not discount the old LX90 over here prior to the new LNT arriving....
