Jerry, This is the first that I have heard of this. Jim and I were at the last Outreach event (at the Reservoir) last month to lend a hand with some scopes and...
OK - thanks, Rob. I sure was barking up the wrong tree! ... NOTE: The idea of having an "Imaging SIG only" Star Party has been brought up several times at...
Rob had listed some agenda ideas in his new newsletter. BTW, nice looking newsletter. If it is okay with the other members, maybe we should have a discussion...
We will probably be meeting in the new classrooms behind my class room they have air conditioning and mine does not yet. I will put a sign and a map on my...
Jim, What differences, in terms of equipment used and exposure time, etc, are there between this image and the earlier "Crescent" that you posted. Also, I see...

Hi All, Last night I mentioned the QSI CCd cameras and that they are round. It appears they will fit behind a compact disk. I guess that's quite large for an...
Hi All, Last night when we discussed the Pentex 125-mm Astrograph I was surprised when Rob said they were at the AIC. Now it's all clear, I guess Pentex...
Jim, Ron and I have been discussing another CCD camera (the QHY8) for quite a while now. Could you have a look at the specs and tell us what you think. Thanks....
Here is the Pentax 125 at OPT: http://www.optcorp.com/product.aspx?pid=1-637-643-8730 I was mistaken last night, it is not a f5 like I thought. Sorry Ron...
Hi All, My friends either in the Southern Hemisphere or who ahve visited there have always claimed that they most beautiful Cluster is 47 Tuc. In addition...
Ron, I'll put in my oar. I'm impressed with the specs with one reservation - is the only version available a color camera? My thoughts about the Bayer color...
Jim, I don't know if 47 Tucanae is "better" than M13... although I very much like your image of it. The STL-11K certainly is quite a camera, especially when...
I recommend taking a look at apod today http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html and Richard Bosman's site : http://www.astrofotografie.nl/index.htm ...
We were out viewing last night for a bit and I used my Celestron f6.3 reducer/corrector for the first time on my 8" SCT. I couple of weeks ago, I took the OTA...
Wow, you guys weren't fooling around when you were talking about Richard's work. It is a very impressive body of work. Very clean throughout all of his ...
Hi Rob, You asked about the image of NGC 104. The image was 8-L at 2 minutes each; five each RGB at 290, 219, 351 seconds. I found later the RGB ratios (I...
Jim, I totalled it all up and that makes for 87.6 minutes (or 1.46 hours). Yes, some of those images in GRAS are on the high investment side. I think your...
OK gang, I would like to nip this in the bud early, long before our next meeting. Who would like to give a presentation and answer questions afterwards, for...
Rob, et.al., With August being such a popular vacation month, I would like to suggest we cancel the meeting for this month, and reconvene in September. What...
I'll volunteer to do a session on photometry and planet-hunting. Maybe Lew will chip in with some useful advice, too. Since the meeting won't be until 12 Aug....
Hi All, I can understand Ron's proposal about August. I suggest we all think about a couple of projects and meeting ideas. Project: It occured to me that vesta...
Jim and all - Sounds like a good project for Vesta - wish now I had equipped a small lens for my Atik camera! Am I right in guessing the consensus is to skip...
