Hi All, We are extending the registration deadline for the MAW by one week, until Aug 7, 2005. I didn't think that this was necessary as we already have 3 more...
Hi, Is that an astro-physics mount? You probably already mentioned this on the group, but could you tell us your setup? How long did you have to wait to get...

Hi Bruce, Same here. I downloaded the demo and tried it on an image. For everybody's info, the demo puts a gray grid on the image. I ordered it on the spot. I...
It's easy enough to see the flaws, but I can still see the benefits. Even the hidden ones. Who could have imagined a Mac that would be running OS X and Windows...

Paul, I've got a 1.33Ghz powerbook 17" that I've been using for my observing and have been VERY happy with it. I haven't found the lit keyboard interfering...

Hi All, ... It is not exactly correct to say that there will be NO tested-debugged astronomical native software. iCCD, the ScopeDriver family, and IRAF will...
