Jupiter

[davidpretorius]

What a difference a day makes. I walked out of my garage and instantly could see the milky way. Very dark, still and clear.

The wavelets settings I used the other night for Jupiter were way over the top tonight. In fact the wavelets were hardly needed.

Dave,

With your videos you have made a dob into a much more useful instument. Congrats!

Getting better Dave...MUCH better mate!

Is it possible for my to send you some avi footage Dave & upload onto your site?? I have none at present, but I can do some more.

[davidpretorius]

asimov, with pleasure. I have set aside precons.com/iis/... to have forum members footage, where they don't have access to a website etc. i might set it up as precons.com/iis/asimov for starters. if you are ok with ftp access as opposed to http, i can give you access to that section and you can upload on your own.

[asimov (John)]

Not too cluey in this area Dave, sorry. I'll let you know when I want to upload some, ok? You may have to guide me somewhat..

[davidpretorius]

we can start by you emailing them. all ftp is file transfer protocol. i can set up ftp://precons.com/iis/asimov and it would be like a directory that you can copy, paste, delete etc files.

do you have windows xp?

[asimov (John)]

Nope...98SE

[iceman (Mike)]

Nice one Dave, you've even caught the GRS!

[davidpretorius]

Yep, the old GRS, know it well and it looks good too!


pssst, help don't tell Mike I don't know what GRS stands for, please help

[davidpretorius]

Asimov, emailing will be best start, we can fiddle with win 98 at a later date, or i can give you some upload software. Not that i mind copying from emails, I have just found that people get lots of pride in doing something themselves when they want to, how they want to.

Better still, I will develop the page http://www.precons.com/iis/ to include an upload section for you
