Dietmar,

Fine image! I have not noted one in the past that showed the subtle blue aspects. That's great detail. Congrats,

Another M45

Stunning image Vince. Some of the best color that I have seen along with being deep.

That is unfortunate. Glad I got one at the right time! The EM400 is basically same class and not worth the cost difference for me but at least there is that option for others. Would have been even worse if there was an EM200, then 500 with nothing in between.

140EDF...which focuser?

Posted By Kevin Brennan
Good question. What is the maximum flat and illuminated field for the 2.7? I have just DSLR/ST stuff at the current time.

The 4" focuser isn't that much more but there are big differences in the flatteners. Can 2.7" flatteners/reducers be used on the 4" focuser?

If you use none, but are using the smaller chips what is the acceptable fov for uncorrected objective?

Another dark nebula - with a soft, chewy center!

Takahashi Epsilon 200 questions

Posted By Kevin Brennan
You might check with TNR, or perhaps with John at Adirondack Video Astronomy (877 348 8433) He uses that exact scope with a canon DSLR/ccds and they have beaucoup adapters.

I think you will need only a TRing for your camera, and Tak wide mount Tadapter. You will couple it directly to the focuser rather than use an EP. The backfocus on epsilons is low. That is all I needed for my E130.

Good luck,
Kevin

Looks a little dusty in the north or is that my imagination?

Sunniest skies in Northeast

Posted By Kevin Brennan
um, none.

I've lived in ME, and NY, and found the weather to be much the same, and unfortunatly cloudy quite a bit compared to western states.

Maine was might nice though when the skies were clear. Very dark in Westernish maine. Perhaps 45 mintes from portland, towards Bridgeton were very nice.

Nice to see a different perspective for a change.
