Hi all and Happy New Year. I was wondering if there any astronomy programs that support Nikon cameras out there? I do have photoshop in a pinch. I also have...
David, I'm a canon user but checking the Nebulosity user manual on pg 6 it states: o Virtually any camera's images can be processed in Nebulosity. which is my...
David, Nebulosity does support Nikon NEF files but I understand you have a D700. It seems the version of Nikon's SDK that I've used (just several months old)...
Hi all, I got up early this morning to have a go at saturn and discovered that my trusty DMK21BF04 seems to have passed away. No auto-launch of iChat when I...
Hi Craig, thanks to you and Paul. I do have a D700 - and had a D200 but that was my daughter's Christmas gift. I in fact purchased Nebulosity and will try your...
Bummer. Does anything show up in the System Profiler when you plug it in? Have you tried another Mac, just in case? I figured those things would be a shot in...
Hi Duane, Thanks for your note. I did check in the system profiler - when the camera is plugged in it shows that an unknown firewire device is attached....
Hi Group. I just joined, so I'm introducing myself. I'm relatively new to astronomy, but not so new to the mac. When I was a kid my dad bought an 8" Celestron...
I can connect Equinox6 to my new Celestron 6se, but can't seem to get Starry Night to see it. The scope isn't exactly listed, but based on the settings I'm...
Hi Gary, I can not tell you why SNP can not connect to your 6SE but I can clear up a few things. First, what Equinox 6 calls the NexStar GPS protocol is simply...
Thanks Daryl. I figured it was something like that, and since the USA... is the one they both had in common I've been using that. I ordered an "upgrade" to SNP...
Fellow Mac astronomer Walt Lickteig and I flew to SF this morning and were among the first to get to the Software Bisque booth and buy the new TheSkyX Serious...
... As a benighted and frozen-toed easterner who couldn't make it to SF, I have been camped out, so to speak, in the Bisque on-line store for the past couple...
Thats good news. What was the 'base price' without T-Point? Are their other apps like CCD Soft available with it yet? Ron ... think ... let ... observing...
OK, another noob question. I see lots of references to "AutoGuiders". Presumably these are different from the ability of a goto scope to track the night sky....
ah. I see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoguider ... . . . . . . . . . . . . Gary Jaeger // Core Studio 86 Graham Street, Suite 120 San Francisco, CA 94129 ...
Yes. AutoGuiders take several forms, but the function is the same in principle. AG usually means using a guiding scope on which is attached a camera to follow...
One other thing to keep in mind is that the term can be used as "not manual guiding" meaning that some system (computer setup somehow) is making the guide...
Price without T-Point - oops, I don't think I noticed. Honestly, for me, 90% of the reason I flew 500 miles and bought the new version without so much as a...
As a newbie to this subject too, I have a follow-on question. How important is it to polar align rather than Alt-Az align. I have a Meade LX200, and need to...
While some may claim it's possible to image using short exposures in alt-az, IMO polar alignment is absolutely essential. Start saving for the wedge. I use a...
Hey David, I don't know much about Meade equipment. I. think the mount you mention is a fork mount, which is an altitude-azimuth (alt-az) design. One doesn't...
From my post in the Astromart Mac forum: I have new info on the release of TheSkyX Serious Astronomer Edition. There will be a slight delay in releasing it...
sorry if this is old news, but a friend just showed me this. pretty cool http://www.gosoftworks.com/GoSkyWatch/GoSkyWatch.html . . . . . . . . . . . . Gary...
Hi all, as part of the SSA program, I've been asked to spread the word about this event. If you do not get NASA TV, you can watch it on the internet here. ...
Hi all, Over the past four years I've taken quite a few pictures of solar prominences. I enjoy the tremendous variation in size and shape and often succumb to...
