Nicely done indeed. As the Sun gets more active, keep us posted on it's activities. I sure would like to have a good H-Alpha solar filter before we get into...
I am relatively new to this hobby, and have an LX90GPS. I would dearly love to connect it to my Macbook. But the Meade Autostar Suite runs on Windows only, and...
I'm not sure if it will do everything you want, but I use AstroPlanner on the Mac to drive my scope. Also, Stellarium runs natively on the Mac. If all else...
... There are lots of choices to control your scope on a Mac - my own Equinox 6, AstroPlanner, ScopeDriver and others. Controlling the Meade LPI is a different...
The LPI can be used on the Mac using the SN9C102 driver from Sonix: http://www.sonix.com.tw/sonix/product.do?p=SN9C101%20(Phase%20out) It works, but that's the...
Thanks guys, that's really helpful information. Looks like I don't need a Windows laptop after all. But it also looks like I might be better off ditching my...
I have a phillips spc900c which is the new version of the toucam. Its not a bad camera, one thing I will say is be careful which driver you use. I am using BTV...
On Sep 3, 2008, at 06:09 AM, "Darryl Robertson" ... Nebulosity (http://www.stark-labs.com/nebulosity.html) is another possibility, although the LPI is not...
Agreed on the Philips SPC900NC. It works well with the IOXperts driver and BTV (or HackTV Carbon, or Equinox, or Keith's AstroImager). A close second is the...
Jeff Loved your photos, esp those of the nebulae. I'll be really pleased if I can ever get even close to your standard. Did you use a DSLR for the nebulae? ...
Thanks! Most of the good nebula shots were made with a buddy's modified Canon Rebel XT. My stock camera just doesn't do as well on them, but it's pretty good...
Great answers from all. The only additional suggestion I'd throw in is a Fire-i board camera (and Astro IIDC) as a good starting point. It's pretty straight...
Equinox 6.9.1 is now available. This is a free update for all registered Equinox 6 users. This update is for OS X 10.5 (Leopard) only. The update installer can...
... David, I would suggest you have a morning, an afternoon, an evening, and a night laptop. The night should be of course a black one :-) In your software...
You know, OS X will multitask on its own, leaving you free to share some of those laptops ... We'll be looking forward to hearing about the article. I think I...
I'm starting to look at using deconvolution in my image processing. In the past, I've had mixed success with it and really left the idea both because of this...
Hi folks I don't know if I missed the announcement for Russell Croman's GradientXTerminator for Mac, but anyhow it is available final for Mac uses! ...
Thanks, Craig, for this effort. I know that deconvolution is one of those things that you've been wanting to address in Nebulosity. For those who give this a...
As I often do, I dropped a thank you e-note to Russ Croman for porting his gradient application over to the Mac (I encourage everyone to do this when a...
Jeff, I gotta say that the irony of holding a MAW in the hometown of Dell is wonderfully twisted. Of course, one reason for doing a MAW in conjunction with a...
Ralph, Fishcamp Engineering had a booth at this past weekend's PATS show and I think it was a very good event for both vendors as well as attendees. Saturday...
As noted, elegant it's not ;) I've also flagged a few bugs that I'll work on as time allows. For starters, it crashes on large images (work on an L frame if...
I'd vote for putting it around PATS as well - perhaps on Friday. Heck, one could imagine overlaying it if the talks could be done at other times than the main...
Thanks to Bob and Craig for their thoughts on the possibility of holding a Macintosh Astronomical Workshop at PATS 2009. By the way, the tentative dates for...
... at ... I'd certainly be interested in attending - if it's in California or somewhere out west. Not so much if it's east of the Rockies :^) Paul Rodman...
