Hi all One more shot, this time the "victim" was NGC6888 Crescent nebula http://www.atalaia.org/paulobarros/nebulosas.htm Hope you like it Cheers Paulo Barros ...
Is there any kind of formula that can be used to calculate the required height of a pier for a MI-250 with a C11 on it. My roof space is going to be only 7ft...
I now have orders for 12 Gemini USB Isolated Adapters, that go on the DB15 deluxe hand connector, and provide a second communications port for the Gemini....
Tom If I understand this correctly, your USB adapter allows the mount to be controlled by both GCC and TheSky6 simultaneously. Is my understanding correct? If...
Yes, this will allow GCC and TheSky6 simultaneously. For shipping cost, please send your shipping address and phone number to my email at tom at arizonaskys...
Hi all Since it's to expensive to send my lovely MI250 to upgrade, I keep on imaging =) galaxies M51 http://www.atalaia.org/paulobarros/galaxias.htm nebulas...
... Hi Tom, I find out about this little application over on the SkyShed POD site to be a great help in changing pier heights and positions in the observatory...
Tom, I used this several years ago when designing my observatory so it is a little hazy, but I am pretty sure this is what I calculated. This is not a tool,...
Hi all Another Picture, the NGC4656 <http://www.atalaia.org/paulobarros/galaxias.htm> http://www.atalaia.org/paulobarros/galaxias.htm Hope you like it Clear...
Thanks Christopher The math looks interesting. One question? Won't the height of the DEC assembly effect the calculations, because it raises the telescope up,...
Paulo, beautiful images! Hope I'll be as good as you one day (some looong years will have to pass :-) Well, I am still wating for my MI-250 to arrive in...
Tom, Any position above horizontal gives you more height so it is not a limiting position. As we are calculating the lowest viewing point the dec assembly will...
I have instruction on my web site that will allow XP and Vista to show all the allocated communications ports even if they are not connected physically...
P.S. the views in the background are out the door from Larry's Shop. I wished I lived with that kind of view instead of the lights of Phoenix AZ. -- Thomas...
Paul Also on the new MI250's the motor mounting to the gearbox is different. He had to drill 2 new holes to move the motor at a different angle to clear the...
Loren I did, you was number one and I was number two. They are both works of Art. But you would not expect any less from Larry, now would you. He told me about...
Truly a piece or art. And Larry's work is astounding.. I would love to be able to spend a few hours in his shop, but am sure his insurance folks would have a...
Thanks Tom, I'm sending my mount to Larry around the end of June for the upgrades. I'm also going to send him 2 new Maxon motors to work into the upgrade. It...
Hi all Thank you all for your opinions Another pic this time NGC 6946 http://www.atalaia.org/paulobarros/galaxias.htm Hope you like it Paulo Barros ...
... Hi Tom, thanks for posting your pictures of the upgrade. And Loren, thanks for alerting me to your upgrade project pictures. The mounts look fantastic....
... Hello Paulo, really enjoying your images. Glad to see MI-250 owners posting links to their pictures. In that spirit... I humbly offer my own efforts: ...
Nice pics that you have Keith Thanks Cheers Paulo Barros De: mi-250@yahoogroups.com [mailto:mi-250@yahoogroups.com] Em nome de Keith Myers Enviada: domingo, 17...
Keith I wish I could answer your question. I am sure Larry would be glad to if you call him. My mount was a 2002 version and if Lorens is 9 or 10 years old,...
... Tom, yes talking with Larry is always the best. No filters. I have a 2004 vintage and I was wondering what if anything I might have missed in ongoing...
