Different strokes for different folks. I personally find narrow band images pretty unattractive. But I have no ambitions to do science, which is difficult, but clearly possible for amateurs - just

So ... an intermittent problem - could it be a bad cable connection, in that case? Give them a shake, and see if the problem returns. Perhaps the Y-cable connector was just pushed on, rather than

Yes, Roland, I agree. We should do as much as we possibly can to examine symptoms, and try to fathom what is going on. However, my suggestion was a last ditch approach, before giving up and shipping

Joe, Users with a V1.x license can upgrade for $75. Go to the link below and scroll down to "Software upgrades": http://www.ccdware.com/buy/ -Ray

Ray did I understand what you're saying? There's currently no "Upgrade" rout for owners who paid the full commercial price without buying another complete new $149 program? Ouch! I liked PemProAP

Ahhhh! I was hoping to get ahold of the Polar Alignment tool and the other one Ray mentioned. I wonder when these will become available to us who purchased the full version PemPro? Thkx...joe

Richard, I think you can and should image whatever way you like. I think the point is that it is probably a good idea that people clearly mark false-colored narrowband images as being, well,

If I were to want to image a bird for scientific purposes I'd probably be interested in a thermal profile, an optical profile and possibly a UV reflectivity profile if it were imaged in the outdoors

Dean -- The problem sounds fairly intermittent. Do you unplug the cigarette-plug end of the power cord each evening? The run-ons happened to me a couple of times a few years ago, and I believe I

This is a great idea. It would have saved me the cost of a motor (and the time to dismount/remount the drive gear and solder all the connections). Admittedly, a more rigorous process of elimination

in Ha, looked cool? see the I dunno. I think Andy Warhol's stuff commands a higher price than Ansel Adams'. But I do agree that a narrowband image should be obviously labelled (somehow). That's

Hi Anthony, I just got a chance to look at your image. I think it is very nicely done and exciting, even though it is a RGB image! :-) :-) -Ray

Hi Rick, I absolutely agree that many types of images are interesting to many people. Anything that helps public interest is good! I just feel that most "pretty picture" images are much more art than

Hi Joe, I have not added any software pings yet. There are some built in software traps such as my DDW will automatically close my dome if it can't talk to the software for 8 (settable) minutes. In my

Thanks for the tips. The mount was purchased new and was mounted in an observatory not use all that often. I picked it up from the observatory and in a nut shell, it s in new condition. I will

Thanks Howard, that is correct! -Ray

Yes, unless something changes that is the only choice at the moment. If you are going to AIC in late October (in San Jose) there will probably be a show discount. -Ray

Hi Ray, I give you no argument there. Actually, IMHO, other than finding objects or making observations prior to government sponsored research, we amateurs (I qualify this as those that have

upgrade path from the Thanks Ray. I have a 1200 GTOCP3. To be clear: if I want v2 I (currently) have to buy it full price? tia, Chris Curran

Hey Joe, The latest build of the full version without going to v.2.0 is build 147. Build 149 pertains only to the A-P Special Edition. Howard have the latest release, ver. 1.70 Build 147,
