  1. Hi Dave. I just discovered the profile feed. I guess the idea is to check our friend's profile feed to see what they are up to.

      This is driving a few folks buggy. I've heard/read several shrieks regarding this function. I stand amused.

  2. Had surgery on my knee. Torn Meniscus. Homebound during period of clear skies. Go figure.

      Hows the recovery going?

  3. I love your Saturn (before and after) images. Planetary imaging is what I started out being interested in doing. I still plan to get started in that when I get my new camera. Thanks for starting a very cool thread.
  4. I thought it might be encouraging for other beginners to see the progress that can be made if they stick with it. For me, it took a lot of reading to figure things out. The help I got here at SGL really speeded up the lurning curve. It's wonderful that people here are so willing to help. You can also find good teachers who post videos on YouTube that are very helpful. I still consider myself a beginner but I'm happy with the results I am starting to get.
  5. I thought this was so cool last year 2014. My first picture M42. Taken with 80mm Refractor - no guiding - single image -cropped. The second one was taken last week with same refractor but with go-to tracking mount. 10 subs( ISO 1600 @ 90 seconds) , 5 darks. Preprocessed in Nebulosity.
  6. Yes, this time of year the weather can be challenging. Looking forward to the ROR stage. Keep those pictures coming. I sure do like your project. Your plan seems like a well built, functional observatory built at a reasonable cost. This is what I hope to achieve next spring. Thanks for the updates and good luck on the rest of the build. Tim P.S. Thanks for your reply to my message, by the way. I hope to stay in touch.
  7. I have enjoyed looking at your pictures of the pier project. This is a first-rate job you are doing! Looking forward to seeing the finished project.
  8. I really enjoyed seeing your pictures and reading about your plan for your observatory. It's got me thinking........ Good luck with your project.
  9. This is why a good friend of mine says, "You don't need any eyepieces ... just some way to connect your camera."

      2 sort of opposed things I recall:

      Doing astronomy you realise how few clear nights we have, whereas commuting into London and so walking to the station realised how few rainy days we have.

  17. Thinking about buying a Celestron Edge 9.25 sct

      Don't think about it... Just do it...

      I bought the Celestron Edge 9.25 SCT with CGEM mount yesterday. Looking forward to my new Telescope which will be here next week. Astronomics ran out of mounts and expect more on Friday so it will be the middle of next week before delivery. Hey, I have waited this long. I guess I can wait another week.
