Lonnie Thanks, Sorry I couldn't make the Mid-South StarGaze. It appears their skies are as dark as the maps indicate. I enjoyed your report. You seem to be...
Mark, What gain setting do you typically use. I have been mostly planetary/lunar imaging at 1x, maybe I should be using a higher gain and trying for an even...
Friends - Between the Longhunter star party and last Thursday's nice weather, I managed to add 10 more objects to my Stellacam II Messier Object Library - I'm...
Speaking of Dark Skies, Consider a trip to the Fort Davis, Texas / Big Bend country. Impressively dark and clear skies. The guys at McDonald Observatory do a...

Vincent - I have one but found that once I started using it I have to use it more and more frequently. I gues it accelerates the "heat up cool down" process -...
You know I have one of those cig adpaters already htat I picked up used some where for a couple dollars thinking it might come in handy. Do you think just hte...
Steve, your individual images are very nice, and your collection is really neat. You should make a wsw version of the Messier poster when you are finished....

Vincent - I think you'd be fine, but you'll have to account for the load on your field battery. This will draw a constant load, unlike a system with a...
I presently power my scope with a 17ah jumpstarter battery kit. Not real sure on rechargiing set up. But the LXD55 draws so little power I am fairly sure I can...
There will be an equipment committee meeting at my home tomorrow evening at 7:30pm. We have one important topic to cover and it's going to be a fun one. See...
I don't think so, but you may want to ask Jim at Scopestuff - he would definitely be able to tell you how much current the strip you will need for the SN10...
Thanks Mark I did 3 image runs this morning just at meridian crossing RGB. Seeing was fair to poor and it was a bit windy (my scope tends to oscillate at an...
Steve, Nice images. You are getting a significant collection. The AVA guys should link to your collection from their web site. It would definitly sell more...
Thanks, Robert. I'm going to break out the LPI and get some Jupiter and moon imaging done in June. I am hoping to get all the Apollo landing sites imaged...
The clouds cleared for a few minutes last night and allowed me to get a short series of exposures of Comet 73P Schwassmann-Wachmann as it passed by the Ring...
Mark, That is an awesome clip! I played it over and over, and my fascination grew the more I watched. Thanks for sharing. Doug Mark Manner <jmm@...>...
Mark, I'll be using that clip for our homeschooling purposes. . . Relative motion of objects. . . Comparative distances. . . And the clip is just WAY COOL! ...
Nice movie! What is the time compression for your movie clip? That is, the 4 seconds of movie time is how many minutes of real time? TomK in Knoxville ...
Mark, FANTASTIC!!!! Thanks for sharing. Scott _____ From: tnastronomy@yahoogroups.com [mailto:tnastronomy@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mark Manner Sent:...
Tom, the clip is made up of 22 one minute exposures taken with about 10 seconds between them. I used Adobe Premiere Elements to convert a 15,080 KB avi...
It's not quite in the OWL (overwhelmingly large telescope) class, but the TMT will still set new records and grab everyone's attention and this one is about to...
I am looking for a series of moon phase pictures from waxing crescent through full moon. A longer or shorter series, even into waning would also work. I don't...
