uploading picsPosted By Darian Rachal |
Melanie, I have to send my downloaded picture files from my computer to my e-mail inbox. I go through the process of downloading the photos from the inbox and saving them back on the computer. For me this reduces the size of the photo file to a size acceptable to Astromart. It's a convoluted procedure, but I know of no other way. I've been told that some cameras have a low resolution setting that photos can be taken at, that create small files that might work with AM. I haven't found that with my camera.Melanie Hunter said:
haven't had an account for awhile but finding it impossible to upload pics... keep getting note that my file is too big...... what gives?... works just fine for Craigslist.

Orion missionPosted By Darian Rachal |
Ron, if I heard correctly, the next flight isn't scheduled until 2018. It's kind of sad to meRon Oehlert said:
Hooray, hope funding continues. Being retired, I got to watch the 1st returns on TV.
, when I think about the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions and the frequency of those flights. At least the Pluto mission is coming up shortly; I'm looking forward to the images. I find the solar system exploration missions from various countries quite interesting.

Charles, I don't know if this is helpful, but I have a friend(Ken Dauzat) who once made telescope parts, and anytime he buys something with two aluminum screw together components, he greases the two threaded parts.

Questar TelescopesPosted By Darian Rachal |
Tim, I think they are worth the money to the people that buy them the same way that a Rolex watch is to some people. The quality in both is exquisite.Tim Libert said:

Coulter Optics Refractor....Posted By Darian Rachal |
Roger, Thinking back over the years(40+), I do not ever recall seeing an ad for a refractor from Coulter, particularly not that size and focal length. I bought an 8" F7 mirror from them in '71(IIRC) before the Odysseys ever came on the market.

Paul, Of course I'm pulling for LSU and looking forward to the series between them and U.L.L.(University of Louisiana Lafayette). Both fans are pretty rabid about their teams and it will be quite an upset if U.L.L. eliminates LSU.
I immensely enjoy the college game this time of year.
