Do you use curves and levels in PS ? We've got 4-5 inches of the heavy wet mix , the snowplow just piled big boulders in front of the driveway. Needless to say I'm stuck.


Both Levels and Curves and luminosity masks. Yep!

It is pretty hilarious but, here's the kicker : My neighbor up the street always takes one of the Fire {engine} trucks and parks in front of his house for about 45 minutes {I guess he comes home for some strange reason ?/?/??///??, we're under a snow emergency. Here comes the snowplow , stops behind it for several minutes. The plow finally drives around the fire engine, on the snowplows way back up the street the snowplow watches the fire engine not to hit it and knocks that darn streetlight that gives me so much trouble down on another one of my neighbors car smashing out the back window and damaging the frame. I laughed and coughed my lungs out at the whole sight . Now that was Funny haha !

Ed , It's melting but, goes down to 20f tonight {Black ice} tomorrow. I wish I could get out. This "STINKS". I really need to get my focuser squared away in Sgp so, when I do get out I can go without researching and fumbling around trying to get it going.

Have you called Ron Newman at Moonlight? His number is Ron Newman (570) 437-2232. I had a little trouble getting the driver to work and he walked me through it. I have been using their focusers on three different kits without issues in SGP. Sounds like a driver problem to me.

It works , I just need to get out and figure it out Ed. I figured Sgp would have a place to input your steps for each channel , all I've found is a place to put my lum focus steps. I really like returning to lum for the next night instead of drawing it in every night. I'm still researching the problem.

Whoa! I am running autofocus routines throughout the night...especially when the temp changes ~3 degrees, which is every night. I run it with every filter change as well. It is the first thing I do before running a sequence and it changes a few steps each time I do.
