Hey gang, It is that time again. Who would like to give a presentation at the upcoming meeting? It doesn't have to be fancy, just interesting. Please contact...
As many of you may know, the finishing touches are being integrated into the newest toolkit - "Exploring the Solar System". Here is a request to NightSky...
Rob, Last month Jim Scala showed how to stack and align images with Maxium. I recently purchased Images Plus which has an automated method of stacking and...

Jim, Images Plus sounds like it would make a good topic for the meeting. If you would still like to do it, it will be a go. Rob ... I recently purchased Images...

VENUS IN THE BEEHIVE: Did a supernova explode in the Beehive star cluster? No, that's just Venus. The brightest of all planets is gliding through the cluster's...
Thanks for the heads-up! ... From: Liede-Marie To: mdasimaging@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 3:08 PM Subject: [mdasimaging] Opertunity to image...
It strikes me that it would be an interesting but difficult image to do. The beehive would require 10-20 seconds, venus would saturate the image in less than a...
Yesterday evening I went outside, in the front of my house, put up the binoculars and viewed not only Venus and the Beehive Cluster but also Jupiter and five...
Liede-Marie What size binoculars were you using? I was out last night with my new binoculars and saw four of the moons. but I also thought I saw a fifth, way...
Liede, I think you were likely seeing four moons and a star. Five Jovian moons are not apparent through amateur instruments. We were able to see five of ...
I also looked through my sister's binoculars last night and Jupiter did appear to have five moons. Obviously, I can't say for sure that they were all moons,...
RO- Could be; there were two near its left side and two (in a row) on its right side, and one (a star perhaps) further away on its right side and a bit lower;...
Ron- Yes, the "moon" a little ways to the lower right of the two moons on the right side of Jupiter that were in line; my binoculars are 15x70; tonight I'll...
I went into the MDAS Photo Gallery and under the La Scala Observatory is a photo shown under Jupiter 2003-2004 which is dated May 4, 2004; the photo is of...
The two moons to the "left" of Jupiter were Callisto and Ganymede. The two to the "right" were Io and Europa. The star to the right of those is called...
At the meeting last night, there was much discussion of the excellent photo in the July issue of S&T. I did a google search on the imager, Jurij Stare, and...
There is a very nice free program called Galileo at www.astrosurf.com/durey. It ony shows the position of the four moons but if you like Jupiter, it is a...
Oops...I stand corrected(!)...they were the FOUR moons...and I forgot all about their rotation... (Double oops!)... we went outside last night and used the...
Bob, Thanks for the information. Great detective work. I also did some searching, found him and sent him an email. I received a response today and evidently...
My sister and I were out again last night, for the most part checking out Jupiter and her moons. Liede had her 100x binoculars out and I had my Astronomy...
Hey gang ! This is the response that I received from Jurij Stare (the gentlemen who imaged M31 in the July issue of Sky & Telescope). Check it out. Very ...
Thanks for pinging Jurij and sharing the information. Good Stuff. Thanks Rick "Rob Haitsma" <porsche_robert@...> Sent by: mdasimaging@yahoogroups.com ...
