Hi Folks; I've updated my personal web site with a few new lunar, planetary and DSO images. http://www.outcastsoft.com/AstroImages/AstroIndex.html Thanks for...
Hi to everyody! the group activity seems to be weak in this early summer (... hope you all are out taking nice astro shots!) so I'll post a couple of question ...
Hi Riccardo, It has been pretty slow in the group. I imagine everybody is busy under the sky and attending astoronomy events. I have a MacBook Pro but haven't...
Hi Duane! I forgot to thank you for the presence of PixelNhance in the files section, it's a neglected small and fantastic app! Clear skies to all! ...during...
... Au contraire. In Maryland nobody's been doing astronomy for the past month or so due to thunderstorms, floods, pestilence, plague, and such like. ... I...
You might want to check out Astro IIDC http://www.outcastsoft.com/ASCASTROIIDC.html which is the only Mac application that supports ShoeString Astronomy's...
Your welcome. I like it too. It doesn't look like we'll be seeing an OS X version though. I hate when good apps like that disappear. With the Intel Macs,...
You're right. It's the X86 that's going to kill it. That was one of the first shareware OS X apps. What was I thinking?! I spaced. One of my favorite features...
I was down in Florida (Velrico) for a week and a half (seeing family) and had many nights that were clear, if you can call it clear. The skies were all hazy...
That's just Florida in the Summer time. We all put our scopes away and don't drag them out until late September or October. The Winter Star Party in the Keys...
Sweet. I'll head down there in the winter. I may have to buy my sister and her family a telescope. No way I'm trusting my scopes to the airlines. Duane...
I second the recommendation for the Winter Star Party. I've gone the past two years and expect to go for many to come. Luckily, I can drive down from NJ and...
Hi! and thank you all for your feedback! ... I intended an up to date list! Hopefully a really vital one ;-) ... I've already visited your site many times in...
Hi all. I was in Cedar Key in May 2005 visiting some friends and the skies were great most nights. I made it a point to schedule my trip around a new moon and...
... I've visited your site many times and have found it extremely interesting. Congratulations for your pictures and for your software! ... I found the noise...
Thanks. I'll definitely keep these parties in mind when I get to plan a recreational trip down there. If anybody knows of a location closer to Tampa, that'd...
Hi, I'm a new member. May I ask how those of you with Meade LX200s update the firmware. I've been in touch with a French guy - Rodolph Pineau. He has made...
Thanks David. People can either join me by email or reply directly in the group. If there is enough interest in the Autostar II support, I might take the time...
Rodolphe, I've also asked StarryNight.com if they would pick up/ finance the effort. I live in DC (unfortunately these days) but I spend my summer in Greece -...
Hi Rodolphe, I'm interested in that (I'm sure there are more of us). However, my interest has gone down somewhat since bootcamp. I got successfully updated...
Let me tell you about my experience with Meade service. They have a Helpdesk for service inquiries. You generate a "ticket" describing your problem and it says...
I would call back and ask to speak to a supervisor, be willing to wait, explain, keep records of when you called and how many times you have tried to resolve...
I agree with Karl. Give them a call again. I have an LX200 that I got used, called them up because I was missing a part (the part that goes between the focal...
Hi Folks; I've updated my Astro images web site http://www.outcastsoft.com/AstroImages/AstroIndex.html with some new DSO objects and re-processed some of my...
Hi All, I finally ended a long dry spell of not getting any images. Went out to Little Blair Valley on the weekend of 18 Aug and spent Friday and Saturday...
Hi all, I think this is my first post here. Does anyone have a way to update the firmware and related files on a Meade LX200 GPS scope. I'm aware of a mac...
I downloaded KIS last night and was playing around with it trying to figure out if it was something I wanted to keep (and pay for). Problem I'm having is on...
... AutoStarX doesn't support Autostar II yet I working on adding Autostar II support for at least the rom flashing. I don't have any ETA on that as I'm doing...
