I have a 5 year old Meade etx 90 go to scope and have had a great deal
of enjoyment using it. I'd like to take some photos of a few things
using a canon digital camera using eye piece projection.
I have a few questions,

His name is Mike Corley and he has been around for quite a few years
now.  He does seem to have recently expanded his horizons and is
posting to a more varied selection of newsgroups so, perhaps, he has

The findings of the Pioneer team are truly astounding, as the team
detected an ostensible acceleration of 8e-10 m/s/s at a range of 8
billion miles, far beyond Pluto, with an 8 watt onboard radio that
returned the Doppler signal.

I have a Meade LX 125 - new since April last year and used about 2-3 times
per month. The last outing in mid-December, I got a message on the Autostar
that there was a motor failure and the 'scope would try and go past the hard

explain later. A few years ago I lived in a pretty good spot for
viewing the sky. REALLY good dark skies. So, I started looking at

Outburst of SY CNC - December 2007
Dwarf Novae are close binary systems with an accretion disc around the
white dwarf component. Outbursts from 2 to 9 magnitudes, lasting for a
day or two, occur at quasi-periodic intervals of days to years. Many

My Where Are the Stars software does not have it.  It's the site of the most
