sick!!  Medley might be able to program this thing to have many of the features we need.  We will see, I just made him a network administrator. 

yeah time and we should also have a crude thing for sky... suburb good, suburb poor, country good, country poor... so at least we can start to get metrics on exposure times.

HI Trevor....; Where are you located ? Are you all in California ?

IF these are your photos, you're an excellent astro-photographer ! Gorgeous,
Thanks for sharing !

THANKS Charlie & Trevor ; I am just a lover of astronomy; not into photography as of yet.... But willing to learn too ! My buddy, Tim Doucette, is an astro-photographer; was published in Sky News, Astronomy, and is featured in an article from David Levy in the Astronomy Magazine January 2011 edition. He has lots of info on astro-photography. His website is :
www.deepskyeye.com Check it out ! Clear skies .... I am located in New Brunswick Canada, where we just had 2 weeks of storm surges all along the coast. Too bad it could not destroy light pollution istead....

Dude my computer is beeping left and right? I'm telling you I'm a computer dolt w/communication, don't do FBook Twit etc so its going to take me a bit to find things. Marc

Ha ha... thanks for the update..... love the photos You're on the Pacific, I'm on the edge of the Atlantic .... I'm sure it's a lot easier to observe in your area than in mine.... We now have about one foot of snow on the ground, and right now it's something line -10 F.... The positive side of this is that there are no mosquitos ! Thanks for sharing the pics...

Just heading out, I'll try the chat when I have some uninterrupted time. I haven't used the DSLR much either, but I'd certainly use it for things like the Heart neb, M31, Lagoon and Trifid together. Can't even get close to getting them in with the sbig

Thank you!

Thanks, it is amazing how many folks I recognise, really glad to be with you all

Thanks! I'll try to get on here and check things out.

Exactly!

Trevor , thanks for the invite your images are fantastic and I'm am looking forward to learning a lot from you .

Aw, you just don't know what you're missing! Snow is FUN! Besides, it gives me something to do while the astronomy gods pour out their wrath on this region of the country. Haven't had a clear night since. . . . Since? Since? Gee, I can't remember.

Yes, the greatest movie (The original ALIEN) ever made!

Thank you Trevor!

Thanks loads, glad to be here!
Mark
