Lonnie, I was using 3654 mm FL on my RCOS, but with a camera that the AO7 doesn't work with (the 6303E). I may put the ST10 camera with the AO7 next time....
Lonnie, I went back and selected the 5 best subexpsoures (FWHM of 1.95 to 2.15 as) and combined them and posted them at http://www.spotastro.com/EinsteinX.html...
Mark, It sounds like you've got things well under control and I know you will succeed! I'm afraid that I might have to use my Starlight Express camera to...
... Actually, it was still pretty warm up there on the Plateau and a little bit of coolness would have helped. As an aside, I really love Big South Fork. I...

Can someone confirm the location of the star party on Saturday night, August 6, on the Natchez Trace Parkway. I don't think there is a parking lot at 433.5...
... Hi Ed, Yes, there is a parking lot on the Natchez Trace at mile 433.5. It is on the left of the Trace as you are going south from the Hwy 96 (big concrete ...
Hi Ed, There actually is a loop parking lot at approximately mile 433.5 of the Trace, which is located 2-3 miles south of the Highway 96 intersection. It's...
Ed, It is not quite 433.5, probably more like 434.5. Very easy to find. The parking site is just above the highway on a slight rise. Very easy to find....

Hi, I took some frames today with a Phillips TOUCAM using a new Ha solar setup (a Solar Spectrum 0.3A filter on my AP155 at full aperture, visible here:...
Hi Mark, Nice shot! I continue to be amazed at the crisp prominence images available through HA filters. For what it's worth, in my limited experience with...
John, that makes sense. I imagine I should shorten the exposure times in order not to lose faint detail. It is hard to see the monitor, even in the shade, so I...
Nice image Mark! Here’s a decent tutorial for using a ToUcam for imaging. http://www.astro-imaging.de/astro/webcam_imaging_2.html I use the shutter speed to...
My thanks to Mark and Lonnie for the inspiration! While my two-decades-old plus 6-inch f/8 Newtonian doesn't have a chance on imaging Einsein's Cross, my...
Dave, thanks for that update! I think Einstein's Cross is pretty much an ultimate imaging challenge, since you need both excellent resolution and lots of...
Dave, I was going to try again last night, but gave up about 12:45am due to a dew point equal to the air temperature. I was wet standing by the scope! Let me...

Lonnie, I am sorry we won't see them today. I was looking forward to seeing in particular the Stellacam II. I have the EX and it has a bit too much noise (or...
