While doing some calibration/automation testing with my Meade 14" and ST9E CCD camera, I found this unusual star when comparing images. The first exposure...
Bob, What's the date stamp of the sub? I recently spent a few days on M27 so I might have a sub frame from the same time. My guess would be a brief encounter...
Hi Bob, I added the time stamp info to the images (six minutes time difference): Meade 14" SCT, ST9E CCD, 5 Sec, 090307 03:08 UT <--flare star image Meade 14"...
Ok so we're looking at Sunday September 2 at 10:14pm our time. When I get home I'll check in my M27 folder and let you know if I did m27 on Sunday night. I...
Actually, that would be 11:08 and 11:14 PM local time on Sept. 2, a 4 hour differential from UT. BN ... did ... that ... image ... <bforgiel@> ... on ... up. ...
Hi Bob,have you had anyone else look at your image. To me it looks more like an actual event rather than something in the optical path. I would report it to...
Bob, I stand corrected, -4hrs.... The last night I have any M27 exposures was from Sep 1st but I did blink through all my subs from Aug 18,19,24,29 and Sep...

Hello Group, after some thought and conversations with some other members, I would like to propose a members observing night, once a month. It would probably...
(To stay at the end of the thread, please excuse me if I reply to my last message) I'm now quite sure and can illustrate the flair is an edge of field artifact...
Yes, I would agree it is some sort of edge of field artifact. Why only that particular star is affected in this way is not clear. It may be a tiny speck of...
It really looked promising but when blinking I could see the edge of field ring sort of standing out. It might be more related to the size of the image hitting...
Hi Tracey, It's a very good idea. I'm very interested in. It could be the way to check some dark areas. Today I go back to France for 3 weeks. But in October I...
Hi Laurent, thanks for your thoughts and have a safe trip. I will keep you informed as to when the first obsevering night might be. Tracey ... need ... the...
I think its a great idea and am very interested in participating! I know weather dictates, but if I had a weeks notice on a potential date, and maybe a backup...
Hi Chris, I hope to have a set program for Oct. but for this month, due to the Astro-A, it will be kind of on the fly. I'll try to let you know as early as...
Tracey, I posted in my gallery two wide field images taken with the Astro Tech 66mm. There's one B/W image of M27 and a color image of the cluster NGC7380. I...
Hi Bob, your images look great! The AT66 looks like a good choice. I'd love to see an image of M42, but I guess it's a little early yet. Good luck with the new...
... I'd be interested in members observing nights as well, but I'm concerned that if we set a specific date and limit it to once a month, we'll hardly ever...
Does anyone have one of these? http://unihedron.com/projects/darksky/ I'd be interested in seeing how the sky at Seagrave compares to various other areas...
I'm game if I am in town. , Sounds like it should be a lot of fun observing with other members of the club. I'm sure I will learn something from everyone. ...
Hello All, I would like to find a good solution to a members observing night. I am not opposed to any member with a key and trained on the scope they wish to...
I believe Paul Valleli of the Boston ATMoBs brought one (or a similar instrument) down to AA last year and was doing some measurements. If he returns again...

Hi Jim, let us know how you made out. I couldn't come tonight because my kids had soccer try outs and I need to be in work early tomorrow in MA. Hope you had...
One of the Boston ATMoB members posted this article about a German amateur building a 42" Dob. Quite an impressive scope, but moving it around and operating...
