For those who are interested in a live tutorial on processing Deep Space Objects using Photoshop here is the link

https://plus.google.com/events/cbo7il8m3do7hekpv748tup0ql0

It will start Sunday night at 9:30 EST

It also looks like it may be the best night of the month - so far - for imaging. If so, I may start the tutorial with how I use the "Polemaster by QHY" to polar align my OTA. PA using Polemaster takes no longer than 5 minutes.

Thanks very much for the presentation, it was NOT a waste of my time.

I'm looking forward to the next time..

Thanks again...

SD Card Question

SonoraDick wrote:

Yes, but...

I believe the constant advice is to format a card every time you take it out and then put it back in your camera (after saving your photos, of course), and this is especially true when you're using it in a DIFFERENT camera.

I'd save the photos to a hard drive (or two) first, and then reformat in the D7100... but, that's just me.

Very good advice.....

Excellent suggestion Walt.
It may be entirely possible that a club member might have a mount and telescope available for little or no cost... :?:

Thanks for that Sonny, Flattery will get you ALMOST anything.

YES I was thinking of the very near NASA space center..

How old is young fellow anyway??

Don't get him a scope that is so complicated that it will overwhelm all parties, much less this young mind that wants to improve. If the adults are unable to set up a scope and instruct the young man the whole effort will be a waste. Yes get him a scope with an equatorial mount and instruct him on it's use 'better to have and not to need, than to need and not to have'

Also look for an astronomy club in your area, you will find in most cases that the members will be a world of help in buying and instruction.
