Since you did not give your name, I have no idea who I am writing to, so I will be rather guarded with what I say. Have you tried the Society of Low-Energy...

Joe, I am definitely having "Trace Withdrawal" and would also like to make a trip to the Trace in the near future. The weather, however, doesn't look promising...
Steve, the rain falls still on a dreary Tuesday morning. Oh well. It looks like Thursday is going to be the best bet. I have always wanted a tele and I finally...
Well the weather still does not look good. Radar showed it would pass but by what time I am unsure. I have to work until 11pm so I guess I will have to try...
Joe, the internet contains a wealth of good astronomy support information. One resource I find useful is a monthly downloadable .pdf skychart. You can get it...

I'm about to attempt that as well. I have a Nikon 5700 that I hope to hook up to my scope. So, I'd appreciate any pointers, too. I can't imagine there's much...
I hope this helps you. First reading a book on astro-photography does help. Second, a comparison between a digital camera and a 35mm SLR is very different. ...
Joe, doesn't make much sense to make a trip to the Trace because the moon is so bright now that it will drown out any advantage you are getting from being at a...
