Hi All, Just a reminder that the Mac Astro Workshop iChat is in 30 minutes. Jeff\ Jeff Terry Biological, Chemical, and Physical Sciences Illinois Institute of...
Hi all, I just have to chime in about my observing session last night. I drove for nearly an hour to reach a nature center called Eagle Bluff. The sky was...
Excellent Duane! I love reading about nights like that - thanks for sharing - 18 girls to 2 guys!!! - that is heaven on earth :-)) so are you saying the green...
Yea, the laser definitely got a lot of oos and ahs. Here's another gadget I came across on the web that might interest somebody. It's backlit keyboard that...
Hi all, Right, so far we have tried Keith's Image Stacker, AstroStack3LE and the Lynkeos stacking program http://lynkeos.sourceforge.net/ to stack some...
Actually, we have a very poor choice of astro-image-editing program...;( but all program we have at MAC are GREAT! ;) I've tried KIS and find it a not...

... Me too!!! In all fairness to all, image stacking is a bit complex. The new routine for image stacking in iCCD works about 90 percent of the time. I won't...
Vladimir, thanks for reply! I like the sound of that iCCD - look forward to that. I would gladly pay for something serious like that . Are you saying the PC...
;) no no no i mean PC's users have more different choice of software, lot of it, actually... but MAC users have a several great programs only... As for...

Interesting web site: http://www.stecf.org/macosxscisoft/ I haven't tried it yet. Bob fishcamp engineering 105 W. Clark Ave. Orcutt, CA 93455 ...
Vladimir Thanks! - I was just curious - dont know many people with PC's mostly macs, and I have never owned one so, I havent been down that road much, ( but I...
It will be interesting to test. I really like IRAF but the learning curve is steep and I don't like X11. Jeff Jeff Terry Biological, Chemical, and Physical...
... I hope that iCCD will do a better job at some point. I think that it is quite close and even superior in some regards, the deconvolution routines are...
Jeff - just joined, thanks- I am trying to see if i can break the record for how many yahoo and other groups one person can be a member of and still try and...
Jeff Terry has very kindly demonstrated to me what a quick 'on the fly' deconvolution can do for an image - AWESOME!! I have uploaded it to my ftp site - same...
That is a nice shot. Someday people will be driving dunebuggies around there for recreation :), and by then Jeffs deconvolution will be so amazing you'll see...
Hi Duane, In my opinion, the best SX camera is the SXV-H9, but it obviously needs to match the scope that you have. I prefer progressive cameras. Jeff Jeff...
No, there are three types of Sony chips: interlaced, progressive, and full-frame. The full-frame and interlaced are very similar in that you first read out all...
EquinoX 5.2.0 is now available for download at: http://www.microprojects.ca/software/EqX520Install.sit Bug Fixes in version 5.2.0 1. GPS connection failed to...
That makes perfect sense. It's the same terminology for TVs and progressive scan DVD players. It's always bad having to expose longer for any reason, but...
Darryl, Can you respond to the same questions I asked Jeff? What do you suggest for an sbig camera?—preferably an affordable one :) Will EquinoX control...
Hi all, Please take a look at the design of the MAW flyer and logos. Let me know what you think. I took a design class recently used what I learned to create...
Hi Duane, ... Most SBIG cameras have two CCD chips in them - imaging and guiding. I like that design because it separates the imaging control from the guide...
Hi Duane, I doubt that iCCD will ever have goto mount control. Too many good programs already have mount control, Astroplanner, EquinoX, and ScopeDriver, all...
Thanks. One more question about the camera with 2 chips... If the camera has two (I assume) fixed chips, is it difficult to get a shot frames exactly like you...
