All, Got to do my first run last night with the iMac in the back-yard: In-order to protect the computer, I had made a box out out the remaining tri-wall...
I am working on adding a webcam autoguide feature to the next release of Equinox. My weather here is terrible so I have had few chances to do any testing, plus...
If I had the time I'd be all over that. I started college (again) recently and time is my most precious commodity right now. I miss the sky. I hope it's clear...
You've put some good work into that. Keep us updated on the setup and dew control, etc... Can you present a photo of that setup? It would be good for others...
Duane, I'll put some images up on my site next weekend assuming I can set up. I bought some rubylith yesterday and replaced the saran wrap (what a kluge that...
Nice shot of M52. I'm not sure about that film being blurry. I'll leave that to somebody else to answer. Thanks for the pics. That iMac looks like a nice...
Duane, Had another round last Saturday (the 18th). It was a good one even though the stars were twinkling like crazy. I was after 3 targets and got them all. ...
Bob, Thanks. The FSQ is very, very nice, I did have to be educated on the need for short coupling between the scope and camera, otherwise, can't focus with the...
It's looking like that is quite a powerful combination. I may have to do something that crazy. I wonder how it will do at -23 C. Jeff Jeff Terry Biological,...
Some time ago someone asked if Equinox supports the Takahashi Temma mounts. I said no and that I had no plans to support Tak mounts. Well, someone found a Tak...
Is that the PDF of a photocopy of a fax of a handwritten translation of the original Japanese document? If so, I looked at it and started screaming. If you...
Does anyone know of a "blink" program for Macs where one can blink two separate images looking for Nova and the like? I wonder if this can be done with IRAF...
... Would it not be possible to use Powerpoint or Keynote? Have the presentation go back and forth between two slides. I'll look into it, but that may be next...
... Hello Planeten Paultje: I will be interested in knowing if Powerpoint will work. I only have the free viewer version. Tim Puckett posted a message to the...
Hi All, I have been out of town for a few days and just checked this thread. I have a version of iCCD that has a Blink routine in it. Unfortunately, it is not...
... Great news, Jeff! Love to see it. I had KeyNote up to do manual blinking in seconds, but there seems to be no way to automate it through goto or loop...
Hi All, So is the Mac mini the new astronomical control computer. • Apple introduces Mac mini. New member of Mac family Slot-load Combo optical drive. Play...
... Now there is a thought! I use AstroViewMacX ($20 !) to control Equinox (and my scope, webcam, SBIG, ...) on my PowerBook from my desktop Mac inside the...
Wow, thanks Darryl. I think I will try AstroViewMacX. Jeff Jeff Terry Biological, Chemical, and Physical Sciences Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago IL...
Hi!, Kind of makes me wish I'd waited instead of getting the iMac for my little iMac experiment. Oh well....., still think I've got a good thing going (I hope)...
Did anybody catch that part about iPhoto supporting RAW images now! It also has new editing features (not sure what they are yet). Can't wait to check it out....
Hi All, Someone asked me today if any of the Mac Astro programs can control Astro-Physics mounts? Anybody know? I must be getting lazy, I could read a few...
... I just took a look at the command manual. It "looks" like it emulates LX200 commands so any program that can control LX200 scopes might be able to control...
Hi Guys, Thanks, I will let the person who asked me know. Jeff Jeff Terry Biological, Chemical, and Physical Sciences Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago...
Hi Jeff, ScopeDriver can do it: <http://www.adpartnership.net/ScopeDriver/> I have a few users who are successfully using ScopeDriver with their AP mounts....
