I have several questions I was hoping someone might be able to answer:

I keep running into these "custom" or kernal filters in Photoshop and other
programs but, try as I might, I have been unable to find good tutorials as
to how they work with some practical input values.  I can play with
inputting different values all night long, but I still have ...

I had planed on going to the corner tonight, to save my sore arm, I picked
the Stargazer Steve Dob and got it ready, even loaded it into the car. I had

OK, it's a bit embarrassing but I have to admit I haven't kept up on all
the latest bargains.  I haven't had enough time to read all the posts here,
either, having just returned from a funtastic trip to another observatory.
It's the same old question -- what scope for a newbie.  I'm ...

Because now they can send discs there.
