Outlawed E-mail address

Posted By jim phillips
Hello All,
I may be outlawed from the group soon. I joined Astromart quite a while ago with an e-mail address that meets the administrators requirements. Somewhere along the way my e-mail address changed. I use MSN and I have a MSN Hotmail account. Although I have purchased many things off Astromart I have never tried to sell anything. Tonight I tried to put on an ad and when I e-mailed Herb about my e-mail address change, he said I could have my account back when I got a real IBS or ITS or IRS or something like that. Anyway he meant an approved e-mail address. sad

What is needed, Help.

I just spent quite a while reading the posts here and I'm getting interested. Please help with all I'd have to buy.I have an older AP 5" F/8 EDT. I'd have to buy a filter, say an AS1 60 or 90, plus some type additional "blocking filter" 10, 15 or 30 (diagonal at the eyepiece) and an "adapter" to fit the AS1 filter to the ouside of the AP OTA. Is this correct? Where do I find an adapter for the AP 130 F/8 ? Thanks far your help.

Solar H-alpha exposure and processing variations

Posted By jim phillips
Thanks for showing us these images. For unprcessed images I like the 60th sec. But, I se that with your processing the 30th second exposure shows excellent detail. I'm about to try digital imaging. Oddly enough I am interested in what images look like Without any processing. The reason is for 4-5 years I did CCD imaging and I almost never looked through my scope. I would sit at the computer screen image image image then spend the next day processing. I like to visually observe but imaging, particularly digital imaging, has my interest. I could see making digital images of the sun like you did, putting the camera away and visually observing, possibly making a sketch. i could then use the digital image when I made the finished drawing. Anyway, sorry for going on so. Your images are great! Thanks for sharing,

Jim

Hi Wes,
Beautiful image. I have one taken 10/19/03 with my TMB/APM F/9 apo with 3X barlow. Similar but not as good as yours. Congratulations!

nikon 4300/Saturn

Hi John,
Very nice shot. There are screens that kids use for video/computer games that will plug into many cameras. I cannot recall the name but you can plug one into your camera and the image appears on the large 4X6" screen and it's easier to focus. I had one that worked in my Nikon Coolpix 4500.

Hi Derrick,
Very nice. Your image appears to show the biphasic color appearance of the Rings as described by Tom Dobbins in an article in S&T recently. Blue Rings in front of the planet and to one side, Red behind and to the other side. Atmospheric dispersion or biphasic colors of the rings? Very interesting.
