Last night I had somewhat better seeing than the night before so my tests of the new IMG1024S Dream Machine continued but with somewhat better results. I ended...
Hey Guys, isn't one of you in Los Gatos? I am right near blossom hill and Camden and was wondering if I could come take a look at the setup, process of taking...

Even with a near full moon and a hazy atmosphere, a pretty respectable image of the Triangle from my Livermore backyard....IMHO, of course. 7 x 15 min., ATK16,...
that came out nicely Jim ... Even with a near full moon and a hazy atmosphere, a pretty respectable image of the Triangle from my Livermore backyard.... IMHO,...
... Thanks. Yeah, Richard, pretty pleased with the red sensitivity of the camera's ICX-429ALL. It's been killer for Ha....I say that with all the experience...
Very nice, Jim. Contrast is good and there's lots of detail. It's amazing how much more imaging nights the Ha filter can give you! Cheers, Paul ... ...
I hear you, Paul. With other commitments and variables in weather, its often tough to pick and choose nights for imaging. Ha certainly helps. Compliments of...
I was having a bad case of Dark Side fever having been unable to image since Cal-star so I took the opportunity, full moon and all to go image this last...
Looking better! Does the EQ-G have Goto? If it does, instead of drift aligning, since you are doing CCD work and have MaxIm, you might want to check out...
Hey Pete. Just downloaded it. Will read up on it and try it out first chance I get. I think that's one area where things can go a long way for me :) There are...
I just got off the phone with someonw who couldn't stop talking about something called a Mallincam, which is being used for daytime deepsky imaging. Anyone...

I am happy to hear I am not the only to have had that experience :) I tried drift alignment a few times, my backyard with all the trees and the skies really...
Exactly, I paid my dues, Manoj should pay his, too! <grin> And don't use an autoguider until you've guided manually, without a DEC motor, using the DEC manual...
... On the contrary, when you are shooting film with a mount that has RA-drive only, and you are manually guiding, there is a minimum of cables, resulting in ...
