Hi Eric, You also have a great movie! I noticed that the totality shot in your movie had less noise than mine did, so you definitely did better than me. Also...
I agree, those are both great. In fact, I'm jealous. Paul, sorry to hear about your truck. You are truly dedicated. If I went through all that with my vehicle,...
Equinox Image 1.4.0 is now available. This is a free update for all registered users of Equinox Image and is a recommended update. There is no separate update...
Duane / David, Thanks for the comments. Duane, You also probably don't want to hear about my motorcycle. 2 months ago I walked into my garage to have a smoke....
That's nuts. What kind of bike is it? The observatory moves along. It has been a lot of work. I just got the steel roof on today (need to screw in a few more...
Duane, Your observatory sure looks good. Can I assume its got a high pier so that you can better clear the tree line? Am glad you survived putting the tin on...
Nice bike! I asked because a friend of mine has a 100 anniversary harley and it made me wonder if his could have the same problem. I don't recall if that's 1...
When asked if Equinox 6 will work with Starry Night's BlueStar adaptor I always said "maybe". I have had reports from some people that got it to work and...
On 24 August I posted a link to the Unofficial First Light from my Takahashi Epsilon 180ED Astrograph (made with a Canon 20D.) Here is the Official First...
Nicely done! What a great target for first light. I love it. We were just (in closing) talking about the N.American nebula at our astronomy club meeting last...
Duane, When I had a AstroDome in New Mexico, I furnished it with a string of red chile lights on a dimmer around the inside circumference. Very practical, to...
Thanks for the tip. I'm on that one. I got a red rope light and also got a 4 level touch switch. That works pretty good (the switch with the rope that is) but...
Ever since I made the latest OSX upgrade (10.4.10) all my email downloads are named "securedownload" and will only open in Quicktime. Is there any way around...
I've been a lurking group member for a few months now. I finally posted a few pics in an album titled A Southern Hick's Astropics. I'm from south Louisiana but...
I use no software for capture, I use a modified TC80N3 on my XTI (unmodified). Almost all my exposures are at ISO 1600, exposure length 2 minutes. My primary...
Make sure the files are tagged properly (.pdf, .tif, etc...). If they are, do a "get info" on one (highlight, hit Apple-I) and see what application is selected...
Thanks guys, I tried all 3 suggestions (reset Safari, using Info to change the default app, and rebooting with Shift key). There's an improvement, for example...
Guys, I was wrong about the improvement in my "securedownload" situation. I just downloaded an astro image from a friend. In the email it was titled M33.jpg....
Eric; This appears to be a Safari 3 beta issue triggered after an OSX update. If you search for "securedownload" with Google / Yahoo etc., you'll see quite a...
Hi Folks; I've updated my web site with some new Astro images for 2007. http://www.outcastsoft.com/AstroImages/AstroIndex.html It's been a really poor year...
How are you getting your mail? There is a known problem with Safari 3 and Yahoo mail with these symptoms. The cause is currently unknown and the best solution...
Here's a macfixit forum claim that this is purely a Yahoo error: <http://www.macfixitforums.com/showflat.php?Board=Forum36&Number=828461> Other browsers don't...
Hmm... I'm using Safari 2.04 and I have the problem. I've reset Safari, but to no avail. I've used FireFox before, I'll try swithcing to it. ... N34 W119 ...
Nice Dumbbell shot. Here in Santa Barbara we've had pretty much a year of excellent weather. I've managed to gather 50 gigs of data. But since I shoot 2 minute...
