Try the Orion_ED@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx webgroup if not already on it. Good
discussions and Hutech mods are a topic now and Hap Griffin drops in
occaisionally.

Jimmy;
Well, we are walking the same path. I am leaving in half an hour or so =
to
drive down to Starizona and pick up my new Sirius mount and ED80. That =
will
deplete what I can do for a while. But, once I get a few paychecks from =
my
new job at ASM lithography, I will start toward the DSLR, probably the =
Canon
XT from Hutech. Then I will need all that stuff you mentioned to =
actually
use it. =20
I do plan to actually LOOK through the telescope for a while;-)
To quote the Isley Brothers; "For a small piece of paper is sure carries =
a
lot of weight". Ah, Lean Green.
Take Care;

Hi Steve,
"I need to start saving for a DSLR."
The DSLR is starting to feel like the cheap part. I bought a Canon XTi =
for=20
just such purposes. Then I realized I needed some extra memory cards,=20
ImagesPlus software, upgrade the ports on my PC (probably get a new PC), =
upgrade my laptop for for focusing and capture in the field, piggyback =
mount
(want to by your old one back? same $1.00 to you), cabling, on axis =
guider=20
w/ t-ring, PEC corretion software (which included, configuring a webcam =
for=20
guiding), plus the hours invested in reading up on all this stuff. BUT, =
it=20
is kinda fun....

Chris;
Another great shot from the 80mm RFT, I am picking up an 80ED tomorrow =
=3D
and I
need to start saving for a DSLR. It looks like fun astrophotography.
I love the differences in color in that shot, the brown of the dust, the
silver of the stars nearby and the black of the dark nebula.
Great stuff;
Steve Coe

Here is the latest shot from our ultra dark
observatory in Happy Jack, of the star field around M7
with our Stellarvue. The sheer number of stars in
this part of the sky is staggering, and you will also
note that few blue stars lie here - because everything
in this field is so dust obscured by interstellar dust
near the galactic center, the stars have a strong
yellowish to brown tint.
