Greetings, Tomorrow's SIG Meeting will be led by Michael Kran and he will be giving a demo of the capabilities of the Global Rent-A-Scope (GRAS) system. Should...
Hi Rob, I see from the most recent note that you want me to lead the presentation on Remote Imaging. I asked about the agenda and whether you wanted me to...
Michael, I responded to your message on March 3rd. But, that's alright. We could wing it if you'd like. I cannot imagine that you would really need a great...

Well, you chose a great cluster to begin with! I can throw you a life vest, but you gotta put it on yourself. This cluster is used for transformation...
Hello Lew, I realize that I have to immerse myself in this stuff to make progress. I've been re-reading the chapters in AIP4WIN on photometry, Brian Warner's...
A quick check of Clear Dark Skies shows that it's a reasonable night to grab a 30 second shot of M42 if you haven't done so already. Tomorrow the night sky...

To all, In some of my images with bright stars, I get a bold vertical line through the star. My question(s) are: 1. What is this called? 2. What causes it? 3....
Hi Ron, 1. What you are seeing is called "blooming". 2. An imager is composed of photowells, which are like small solar cells. As light strikes them, electrons...

Hi Ron, There is a de-blooming algorithm in many software imaging packages. For example, I use a de-blooming algorithm in MaxImDL. Not in fact the one that...
Michael, Lew gave you some good stuff, and so there is little I could add, except to say that you can make pretty good color magnitude diagrams without...
Dear Jerry, Between you and Lew I know I've been steered in the right direction. I've got AIP4WIN, recently updated 3/4/08 to V2.2.00. Thank you so much for...
I've run across an interesting presentation about data-mining Virtual Observatories. I must admit for the last year or so I have been resistant to the idea,...
