I'm getting a bit jammed from my work by clients (real estate) and have several that have asked to see properties on Saturday morning and I have a church group that has bought a large commercial property with the engineering inspection set for 1:00 PM on Saturday afternoon. I've been trying to find the confirmation from you on timing for me to assist there - can't recall if I was in the morning or afternoon and wondered if it were possible to do the Sunday instead, if I'm in conflict with scheduling? Sorry - similar problem for me last year - timing is in the middle of the hot spring season for home buyers / sellers and I was trying my best to avoid appointments on the day. So far, I have Sunday wide open, if you can accommodate a change in timing for me? Ken Knoflook 905-870-7000 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have only witnessed two in my life! The angular distance reports are the most important thing. It is impossible to actually judge distances accurately - regardless of how certain they seem. No fireballs are luminous below about 20 km - so it was likely *very* much farther away than it appeared. Sadly, the all-sky camera networks only record at night, so visual reports may be the only thing that can be relied upon for this event.

If not, then PaintShop Pro is an excellent product, does everything that PhotoShop can do that I've ever tried (but I am NOT even close to a Power User of either). The Imagers Corner that ran in Orbit for a few issues last year was written by a guy who was a PaintShop user, and all his examples used it. The CS2 version of Photoshop is now about 10 years old, whereas PaintShop Pro is continually updated. It is excellent software at a very good price. The one you reference - https://store.paintshoppro.com/1184/purl-eDM_Sale_PSPpro - is even 64-bit, and so will be able to take advantage of the huge amounts of memory and the very fast processors available now. I also use PaintShop Pro for non-astronomical pictures. So, I think you should grab both.

I'm not sure if the offer for Photoshop CS2 is still valid, but if it is, then get it. If not, then PaintShop Pro is an excellent product, does everything that PhotoShop can do that I've ever tried (but I am NOT even close to a Power User of either). The Imagers Corner that ran in Orbit for a few issues last year was written by a guy who was a PaintShop user, and all his examples used it. The CS2 version of Photoshop is now about 10 years old, whereas PaintShop Pro is continually updated. It is excellent software at a very good price. The one you reference - https://store.paintshoppro.com/1184/purl-eDM_Sale_PSPpro - is even 64-bit, and so will be able to take advantage of the huge amounts of memory and the very fast processors available now. I also use PaintShop Pro for non-astronomical pictures. So, I think you should grab both.

Hi, Gary. CS2 has been free since (at least) January. What is good about this version (apart from the price) is that it also runs Noel Carboni's Astronomy Actions, a large set of useful packaged routines to help your images look their best. Also highly recommended is PaintShop Pro from Corel. It uses Layers, and does much of the fancy stuff that Photoshop can do. It can be had for as little as $35 from time to time and has the advantage of being fully supported. Blair McDonald of the Halifax Centre, whose columns on imaging can frequently be found in the pages of Orbit, uses it to tremendous effect. Now, if we could just get Cyanogen in Ottawa to release a cut price version of Maxim DSLR, I'd be very happy!

The best viewing times in North America will be from 2am-4am EDT. For those not wanting to wake up for 2am and head outdoors, you should be able to spot some meteors late evening hours (after 10pm) Friday when it's dark but if predictions hold true, the most meteors will be seen early morning hours of Saturday May 24. Astronomers aren't quite sure what to expect. Some forecasters are predicting ~100 meteors per hour, while others are predicting a "meteor storm" of 1,000+ meteors per hour. VIEWING TIPS: - Find an area away from city lights. - Don't worry about using binoculars or a telescope; the naked eye is all you need. - Dress for success. Wear appropriate clothing for overnight temperatures. - Have something comfortable to sit on. (We recommend a good reclining chair, sleeping bag or ground pad.) - Plan to be patient and watch for at least a half an hour to give your eyes time to adjust. - If you need to look at something here on Earth, use a red light. It won't diminish your night vision, as white light will.

I should get there about 11 or 11:30. I'd be happy for some company. To view the shower, we'll go out by the road. Bring a tarp for the ground, or a recliner, and dress warmly! For photographers, bring a tripod, the shortest focal length lens you have and the ability to take a series of 30 or 60 second exposures. Hope to see you there.

The best viewing times in North America will be from 2am-4am EDT. For those not wanting to wake up for 2am and head outdoors, you should be able to spot some meteors late evening hours (after 10pm) Friday when it's dark but if predictions hold true, the most meteors will be seen early morning hours of Saturday May 24. Astronomers aren't quite sure what to expect. Some forecasters are predicting ~100 meteors per hour, while others are predicting a "meteor storm" of 1,000+ meteors per hour. VIEWING TIPS: - Find an area away from city lights. - Don't worry about using binoculars or a telescope; the naked eye is all you need. - Dress for success. Wear appropriate clothing for overnight temperatures. - Have something comfortable to sit on. (We recommend a good reclining chair, sleeping bag or ground pad.) - Plan to be patient and watch for at least a half an hour to give your eyes time to adjust. - If you need to look at something here on Earth, use a red light. It won't diminish your night vision, as white light will. _______________________________________________ astronomers mailing list astronomers at hamiltonrasc.ca http://hamiltonrasc.ca/mailman/listinfo/astronomers_hamiltonrasc.ca _______________________________________________ astronomers mailing list astronomers at hamiltonrasc.ca http://hamiltonrasc.ca/mailman/listinfo/astronomers_hamiltonrasc.ca -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm getting a bit jammed from my work by clients (real estate) and have several that have asked to see properties on Saturday morning and I have a church group that has bought a large commercial property with the engineering inspection set for 1:00 PM on Saturday afternoon. I've been trying to find the confirmation from you on timing for me to assist there - can't recall if I was in the morning or afternoon and wondered if it were possible to do the Sunday instead, if I'm in conflict with scheduling? Sorry - similar problem for me last year - timing is in the middle of the hot spring season for home buyers / sellers and I was trying my best to avoid appointments on the day. So far, I have Sunday wide open, if you can accommodate a change in timing for me? Ken Knoflook 905-870-7000 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
