It certainly is an interesting scope. I currently have a 105/6.2 LW Triplet bought used a few years ago that primarily gets used for astrophotography. As I...
I think one thing Thomas might have forgotten to mention (hopefully, I'm not putting words into his mouth) is the desire to diversify and cater to a wider...
` Hi Jim, ... What? Come on now. I never suggested anything like what you are saying. On multiple occasions you have appeared, to me, to be overworked and too...
Hi, Excellent results with a 115mm scope really excellent. I've a question for you, the feature on the NTZ (I assume South is up) the spot. Is this a Jovian...
Please excuse me for my $.02, but I have had so much trouble over the years with email miss communications. Even with adding smiley faces, & hehes & super...
Hi Guys, Have a look at my site and click the Saturn with problems link. You will see a raw single frame, stacked frames and a processed image. Let me know if...
Once the WO and Burgess products are in production, they shouldn't take much of his time, and hopefully they'll provide enough income to allow him to hire help...
Dear Jim: I, too, have certain concerns about Thomas' new venture and certain of his priorities. As it has been written: For what shall it profit a man, if he...
I would say the single frame is too dim. You need to decrease the shutter speed. If you are at 1/25th of a second, you will have to increase the brightness and...
I agree with the good Dr. Phillips. If the raw frame is that dark, the resulting image is going to be really grainy and lack detail. I've found that increasing...
Guys. Tom doesn't work for you. His soul is his own, and his priorities seem pretty straight to me. With his background, he could probably be pulling in a...
Dear Jake: With all due respect, I'm going to try and remember you are relatively new here. So, before presuming to understand, let alone criticize what we...
