Hi Folks; I updated my web site with some new images for 2008. http://www.outcastsoft.com/AstroImages/AstroIndex.html The weather has been horrific this year...
Hi all, This weekend I shared my observatory with a professor and some students from the nearby U of California campus who put my 14-inch LX200R to work as a...
Hi Ralph, ... Equinox Image can read in (or expose) a spectrograph image, draw a graph and log the data in a text file that can be imported into a spreadsheet...
Hi Darryl, Yes, I was thinking of Equinox Image, but the control function for the spectrograph is sort of critical -- based on what I observed, you have to be...
... I have never seen a Mac SDK or driver for the spectrograph but I will ask SBIG. If they do have that available then I could probably code something - it...
Hi All, Here's my first light shots with my new APM 152 refractor that I picked up 22 May. M12: http://tinyurl.com/6yg5bd Taken from the Palomar Observatory...
... ones ... the ... about it. Did you collect credit card numbers? :^) I am in the "completely fascinated" category when it comes to spectrography, ...
I am in the "completely fascinated" category when it comes to spectrography, photometry, and all that stuff that sorts out the men from the boys, but have...
... Equinox 6 and Equinox Image already talk to each other - E6 sends EI scope and object information and EI sends E6 camera and calibration angle data. It ...
Ralph; You can do that sort of thing today, via AppleScripts and different Mac Astro packages. For example, Astro IIDC is Scriptable for Image Capture. You can...
I have added some code to the Equinox 6 tour function. If you have Equinox Image running at the same time you can now hit a button in the tour window and a...
Those are awesome shots. it's always nice to hear about your troubles too... so I know that I'm not the only one. I'm so impressed with the color that comes...
Thanx Duane for the comments. I also am very pleased with the 20Da. Don't know what I'll do when it eventually dies, but hopefully that's far in the future. ...
Just thought I'd call everybody's attention to the release today of a new image editing application, Iris by Nolobe Software. Along with Pixelmator, Iris...
Hi Ralph, I think you should give Adobe a pass on this one. Photoshop is a Carbon app. Apple told developers that 64 bit Carbon was coming. Then Apple canceled...
Ditto... you should have seen the torches and pitchforks at last years WWDC. A lot of developers were caught by that double cross. Carbon will be completely...
Yeah, change always comes with its hiccups. But the other side of the coin is that change is usually for the better. Take the extreme case where Microsoft has...
... Ha! Apple told the world that Carbon is a transition technology exactly 10 years ago. To put the blame on Apple that they do what they told us is really...
Steve and others, I follow the Mac development community well enough to know that the essence of what you say is true, and in fact, has been Adobe's defense....
Frankly guys, all this "Blather" about Apple told you not to use Carbon is a Joke. Every last QuickTime component needs a .r file and for GUII Interface needs...
To all, Wonder what the ratio of OS 10.4.X to 10.5.X users is, especially with the "vulgaris populus"? Always liked that Latin phrase! What's the last OS that...
Microsoft does not support Windows 98. Apple is coming out with OS X 10.6 in line with it's other updates to OS X, 12 to 18 months. Or perhaps Apple is a...
I follow the thread sporadically only, but... ... This is deprecated. And the new QTKit is carbon free ... Huh. How about IB? I write apps for Mac OS X since...
Hey Steve M., Nope, never done any software programming. Why should I? People like you, perhaps, are paid to do it for me. M/S still supports Win2000 [as...
Hi Perry, While you may have sentence forms down, you may need to work on you comprehension. My statement, "As to Ralph's comment about not updating to CS4, if...
... No it isn't deprecated. .r files are necessary to build Any quicktime component. I've only been doing this since QuickTime 1.0 was released back in 1990....
This discussion has almost no relationship with astronomy, and in general I would completely ignore it if it was not containing inaccurate claims that could...
