Hi Steve, It's great to have you back in action. I'm sorry we missed seeing you at MAW. I pray those troubles are forever behind you. Thanks for the update and...
Hi Duane, Replies are below... ... Me too! ;-) ... Well, ScopeDriver would certainly fit the bill from an ease of use standpoint. If they're tied to the "dark...
Hi All, I have released a new version of Argoload that has a working firmware updating module. This was my first chance to upload firmware to my Argo Navis, I...
Hi All, The DVD Proceedings from the Macintosh Astronomy Workshop are now available. The proceedings come on 5 DVDs and contains nearly 10 hours of video from...
Hi All, A Celestron Gizmo took a top prize at the Consumer Electronic Show. http://us.gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/smoke-a-doob-and-enjoy-celestrons- ...
Cool. I will be amazed if this thing works as advertised. 6000 objects is quite a few objects. Do you think one can actually see the objects it's pointing out?...
It looks to me like it (depending on how you want to use it) either tells you what youčre looking at or verifies or provides confirmation that what your...
... I'm still trying to find out how it actually works. Haven't been able to find anything, not even on the Celestron site. Does one look through it and see...
... Think of it as a monocular that knows where it's pointing, thanks to GPS (for date/time and position on the Earth's surface), magnetic north sensor, and...
Pretty cool. I'll bet it has some type of floating ball compass in there that can detect magnetic north and also knows how far it's being tipped up (and so...
Is everybody ready for what is coming? On January 10th the MacWorld Keynote will be presented by Steve Jobs. If you're not familiar with the event, it's when...
hi all, ....just got my Imac stolen in a burgalery. I hope they have something with home security in mind hehe. Paul Duane <macastronomer@...> wrote: Is...
That is a drag. Are you insured? Any idea what your mac address was? I wonder if there is a way to hunt down a mac address once it's re-plugged into the...
Hi, That would be sweet. Now, I have to go to Apple to get the serial number for the police. I'm waiting for the 10th. Spent 1k on a new home surveilance...
I have one word for you... DOG :) Actually, there are some factors that make a house more apt to be "hit". Do you have lots of shrubs and places for somebody...

O Come, all ye Mac Faithful, and behold the wonders that our Father Steve hath bestowed upon us! Yea, the fun toys in the new iLife suite, even unto an FM...
Ah yep with my usual brilliant timing - my new PBG4 arrives tomorrow. Still at least its got a PCMCIA slot. Sigh. T On 11 Jan 2006, at 16:04, David Illig...
I am wondering why Apple has canned FW800. Does Apple know something of USB 3 and are they planning on canning FireWire altogether? I also wonder when the 12"...
I'm getting a MacBook Pro to evaluate. I'm sure there are millions of orders in ahead of mine, but maybe I'll see it in March. I'm a little disappointed about...
Hello, all! I am a Mac user (duh), I use a GP-DX, AND I want to autoguide. Am I out of luck? The only way I know of to do it with my mount is with Sky Sensor...
Hi Rob, I don't think that autoguiding is a problem. The Sky Sensor 2000 has a standard autoguiding port. You should be able to autoguide with a many different...
Hi All! Boy, it's nice to find a place where Mac users are the majority rather than the exception! I will be reading the past posts to get acquainted with you...
Hi Wayne ...although there are a few (I reckon) like myself that have to exist in mixed environments i.e. I use Fedora Core 4, Debian Sarge, WinXP, Win2003...
Wayne, I too am a closet PC user. I have a couple of CAE programs that I use for my work that are only available on the PC. I have one computer that's sole...
