I have an image of the Eagle Neb in Ha from my backyard (mostly), 26x5m frames. Unfortunately, I'm having problems accessing my website by ftp or Plesk, so at ...
why not post it here too Paul? some of us have no interest in TAC-Imaging like me and wouldn't go there on a dare but would still like to see your image ... ...
Duh! I forgot that this list is on Yahoo groups. I thought it was a SEDS-based list-server. The original and updated images are now posted in our group's files...
H alpha narrow band surveys Richard, I think there have been a couple of fairly complete narrow band surveys done with CCDs and short focal lenght cameras....
Does anyone have information on sites (real and Internet) that have data collected using the SBIG Polaris seeing monitor? I have seen some sites in Colorado...
that's interesting but how does that relate to my image and map I made using three different emission line filters? I am genuinely puzzled as to the connection...
Steve Nelson notes: I think there have been a couple of fairly complete narrow band surveys done with CCDs and short focal lenght cameras. The second was done...
Given the high price of the Optec Pyxis rotator, has anyone considered using the Meade de-rotator as a rotator? I don't know much about it. I don't know if the...
it seems that it would work in principle but I think the issue will likely be the speed at which you can rotate it. meade is not known for overdesigning...
I've actually given the meade rotator a lot of thought of late. I'm in the process of building a dob, and will probably put a field rotator on it in V2 (as...
the speed at which a derotator operates is slow: it is tied to the RA speed: it might even be equal to it for all I know. for a rotator to adjust the angle of...
Ah. I just didn't get what Paul was looking for. Pete _____ From: norcal_ai@yahoogroups.com [mailto:norcal_ai@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Richard Crisp Sent:...
I need the ability to rotate the camera/cfw assembly without affecting focus, in order to find a suitable guide star for the build-in guiding chip. My...
an alternative is to get the FSQ rotator and then motorize it using a robofocus and belt drive Paul Sterngold <psterngold@...> wrote: I need the ability...
... Thanks for that suggestion. Funny you should mention that. I said the same thing on another list. Many years ago, I owned a Tak FC100 with CAA and loved...
i've mounted the rotator on other telescopes for manual control the load carrying capability of it will likely be higher than the Meade unit too. ... Thanks...
Hi Richard, Not to mention names that shouldn't be mentioned in norcal_ai, but does anybody know if Don Goldman tried to patent the idea (Takometer)? It's ...
Hi Paul, If you want to experiment I've made up some robofocus-compatible focusers for my own use (I like each scope to have its own and they're a little...
Gert Gottschalk drew to my attention a European designed clone of robofocus that is cheap to make. if there's interest i will hunt down the info and post it. ...
Although OT, this is an interesting conversation. I have a few questions. 1) Can someone use the phrase, "patent pending", immediately upon filing for a...
you file a patent with the uspto and in 18 months after filing the application is published unless you are willing to give up the rights to file under PTO for...
Hi Richard, Interesting idea. Is anybody interesting in building a cheap robofocus? It problem doesn't make much sense unless there are 5 - 10 people...
FYI: James Lacey is already making a less-expensive alternative to the Robofocus control box, which can be used with any stepper and is pin-compatible with the...
Hi All, Well, I've finally got the new setup assembled after the mount arrived last friday. In the end the first-light experience was a bit of a mixed bag. My...
nice to see you running have you considered collimating the scope yourself? it may be faster than shipping, it is certainly lower risk than letting UPS handle...
Hi Richard, Thanks. It was finally nice to get everything together. Almost everything worked perfectly which was great. I did give some thought to doing the...
