So Jeanette, what will you do with the little cube now you have the TOWER of Terror?

Interesting and easy to read article, nice job

Very refreshing to read an article like this by a girl astroimager, very cool to be reminded that your species do exist out there, even if you are fairly rare birds.

How did you come to write the article btw?

Fully electronic colour coded goto observing heck even the eye is electronic....hmmm? Yep, the old dob guys will hate'ya

Well done JJJ!

We are not worthy

I actually subscribe to ATT, but haven't downloaded it for ages - a great read, and it has just bumped up its quality a notch!

Thanks Mike.

To cut a long story short.
I'd been posting my images in the iOptron Gallery since the beginning of last year.
Then in August last year I recieved an email from John Hou, their VP of Marketing, asking if I'd write a short article on Astrophotography, using the Cube.
I put it off for a bit, not knowing what the hell to write.
Then Stuart Parkinson and Coleman Coates from Astro Tech Today send me emails to say that they'd publish the article if I wrote it. They gave me a subscription to the magazine so I could see the general format of their articles. To give me something to go by.
And that's it.
It's a great magazine by the way. Much more techy than the other astro mags on the market.

Well done JJJ. I've sent the link on to a few friends to show them, you can have great fun with modest equipment and produce great results to boot. The best images are the ones you enjoyed making and sharing.

Looks good to me, thanks Jeanette. I think I'll subscribe.

erick (Eric) · #51 03-06-2009, 04:23 PM

I did subscribe. They promised to email notify me of each new edition. I didn't see an email, but went in today to look and there is a May/June edition. Happily reading it on and off in breaks. Good read so far. (Have asked their subscription person about the missing(?) email notification.)

Thanks for the reminder Eric, I haven't read my copy lately either.

Response to my query:-

"My best guess is that somehow the messages didn't make it
out. I apologize for the confusion. The new issue should be uploaded
around the first week of July if not a little before. The notification
should be going out at that time but please let me know if it doesn't make
it to you again."
