R.I.P Dell laptop at age of ten years...
This was a third time I tried to have my first light for the Autumn season 2011. This time my ten years old Dell laptop, used to run the observatory, died.
I have ordered a new tabletop computer with some extra com ports. There are no 9 pin communication ports in modern computers and many astro gears need one, like active optics unit, TCF-s focuser and Meade telescope control. I bet, the weather will clear up now, since I can't shoot...
Some redone images
I have turned some of my images to a panoramic format for one customer.
They turned to be kind of nice, so I'll publish some of them here.
(They looked wonderful as a large print on canvas)
More panoramic images in my portfolio:

There are many 9-pin D-style serial to USB converters available.
Thanks Bill,
I have ordered two dual port PCI-card type extensions for serial ports. I have had some compatibly problems with USB converters, specially with SXV-AO, active optics unit.
