They were messing around with me saying that since I'm not an original owner they wouldn't send me a replacement. I had to email them three times before they...
Hi, I don't know if there is a scheduled meeting tonight, but I won't be able to make it anyway. It looks like I will be traveling during the time of the next...
I can/will come tonight - though I don't have a specific topic pre-prepared. Seeing the sun is hard enough at the moment let alone the stars! Jim can make us...
Hi All, I cannot attend. My apologies. For the next meeting, I'd be glad to take about 20 minutes to show my images from the Antarctic. It was really a very...
Crud! I completely forgot about the meeting last night. I'd better start writing the dates into my work calendar. Jon PS: I hope it was a interesting meeting...
Hi Stuart, Not crazy at all. This is not a bad package for what it does. The guide-scope is good enough for guide-scope only duty and you use the same PHD...
Chris, I'm out of town now, but when I get home, I'll check my telescope rings to see if there are holes. I'll also call Orion and ask them about mounting it ...
At our last meeting we discussed the availability of zero g flights. I found this one, but be warned it is not cheap. http://www.gozerog.com/ Enjoy Ron...
It appears I was very mistaken to say the experience lasted ~5 min. I remember watching a video of astronauts training in a simulator which I think was a...
Anyone who has a private pilot license can put you through a short version of a zero G flight. When I was instructing in small aircraft, there were two...
Don't forget that there is much more Zero G TIME available in the big plane. Zero G dives are pretty short in the small plane, too. You gets what you pays for....
Hi All, I'm slowly getting going again after our long (63 days at sea) cruise. I had to fix a few things and finished yesterday, so last night, I imaged the...
Does anyone in the club have a Losmandy Titan mount? I have an acquaintance who needs to know some measurements. Thanks in advance... please reply privately to...
At our last imaging meeting I mentioned I would post my attempt at the Orion Nebula This is an unguided 90 second single shot exposure. Modified with Windows ...
Stuart, Not bad for a first try. I am glad you have not see my first sorry attempts. Next time try shooting at iso800 instead of 400, and look for your...
The "All Seeing Eye knows all".... Actually Stuart, I downloaded your image, then viewed it in Canon's Digital Photo Professional application. There is a lot...
A very good start, Stuart! - Jerry Hudson Stuart Forman wrote: At our last imaging meeting I mentioned I would post my attempt at the Orion Nebula This is an...
Good job Stuart. By all means try ISO 800, (as for an unguided shot you will be able to use a shorter exposure) but you may find that sky glow (for a longer...
