On the morning of 30 January, while y'all were snug and warm in your beds, I was photographing Comet Lulin. Between 0524 and 0545 I made 10 two-minute...
Hi folks, Well after 8 days without power back in December from an ice storm, many snow storms, and cloudy nights I was able to get out last friday night for a...
Hi Dale, I concur, great image there. I too am working with the ED 80 / WO 0.8 focal reducer combo. I haven't attained quite this level of success however! ...

Hi David, Thanks I'm glad you liked the image! This has been a rather bad few months for imaging, it seems everywhere! I'm seeing a lot less images posted this...
Hi John, I'm glad you enjoyed the image! The ED80 / WO 0.8 is really hard to beat at this price point, I'm sure I will be using this combo for many more years....
Perry, Thanks! Encore???.... At this rate is will be July before I'm able to get out to image again. I did see your image on AstroTrac the other night, much...
Hey Dale, Thank you! Yes, the image was cropped slightly with the edges and corners removed. Not much, tho. Just a little digital enlargement to enhance...

Hello, I am new to your group and was wondering if anyone would recommend a really good software astronomy package I can use on my mac. I currently use a 15...
For value, whether you are going to use it to "explore" the night sky or run your telescope, it would be hard to beat Equinox - it is an elegantly implemented...
I should chime in here. I've been a Starry Night user for a long time, upgrading when told to. I've never been really comfortable with the program. It's kind...
I just want to take a moment to publicly and profusely thank Darryl Robertson for his work on this new version of Equinox Image. The addition of SBIG...
Hi Darryl, My college has an SGS spectrograph and I would like to use Equinox Image to control it, using our MacBook, running Tiger 10.4.11. What kind of...
... First, EI version 1.10.0 is a Leopard only version, so it won't work on your Tiger MacBook. Second, I have read the SGS manual and, unlike the DSS-7...
The SGS is completely passive, it sits between the ST 7E and the scope and has no external cabling. One manually rotates the low/high res grating in place and...
... cabling. I wondered if that was the case - I guess that is why the manual makes no mention of cabling. :-) Not like the DSS-7 at all. In that case Equinox...

Al, as a long time Keynote user, you know you can convert presentations to Keynote, and then publish back to QT, Flash or even HTML. I hope I'm understanding...
Sorry if this is getting OT, we can take this offline going forward. David, I'm by no means a Keynote expert, but I've used it a few times. I'm familiar with...
Hi Craig, I tried all of those sites you suggested here. I found "Celestia" & "Stellarium" were excellent "Sky Orb" was a bit clunky & difficult to get on...
