High Speed Filter Wheels. Today’s sophisticated imaging systems include color filter wheels (asymmetrical weight distribution), off-axis guiders, rotators, corrective optics, and CCD cameras. Together they present a formidable group of equipment that must be moved with micron accuracy and no image shift to achieve the finest results. The Atlas Digital Focuser is up to the task; an engineering pièce de résistance with unique solutions to achieving critical focus with heavy loads. FLI's digital focusers ar...

Suburban Skies: June 2009
http://suburban-skies.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 16 June 2009. From my bedroom window looking towards the Thames Valley at around 11.15 this evening. By the time I'd dashed downstairs to get a tripod for my camera, the display of luminous blue streamers had all but dissipated. If these were indeed the noctilucent clouds I've heard rumour of (and they look like it from the photos of others), this is the first time I've seem them for real. Posted by Suburban Skies.

Suburban Skies: NLCs over Thames Valley...
http://suburban-skies.blogspot.com/2009/07/nlcs-over-thames-valley.html
Monday, 13 July 2009. NLCs over Thames Valley. Click on image for larger view. Noctilucent clouds put on a great show last night (July 12th). This was the view from my drive at around 10.30 BST, looking north-west. I grabbed a series of shots through a Sony Cybershot on auto (camera on a tripod this time) and put two frames together in a mosaic to give the above panorama. Posted by Suburban Skies.

Suburban Skies: September 2008
http://suburban-skies.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, 25 September 2008. SXV-H9, Soligor 200mm telephoto lens. 20 x 180s subframes at full resolution, 16 darks, 16 flats/flat darks, calibrated and stacked in AIP4Win. The stars are rather bloated and I think it may be down to the lens really not being too good in terms of chromatic aberration (see Great Andromeda Nebula. And whilst some of the famed nebulosity is visible, there isn't as much of it as the experts. No nebulosity, but nice stars. Posted by Suburban Skies. Links to this post. At last, ...
