Anyone know if this will fit the newer style focusers, meaning the one with the rubber/plastic knob? TIA, Vince

Oh no, not another M31.......

Posted By Vincent Bert
I have been CCD imaging for a few years, but have yet to shoot many of the showpieces. So I figured that I would give this one a try. It proved difficult to process and I have agonized over it for a couple of weeks now. I did some things that I wouldnt normally consider while processing an image in regards to color. Although I took a little artistic licence in managing the color, I like the result. Well, for now anyway. 8)

Thoughts, comments appreciated.

9mm Nagler T6 vs. earlier versions of the same?

Posted By Vincent Bert
Mark, I've been waiting for a response to your post. I just bought a 9mm type one and have been wondering the same thing.

Unable to starhop, setting circle help - newbie

Posted By Vincent Bert
I think that if I started out trying to use setting circles I would have gotten frustrated also. Forget about them for the time being. It sounds like you have a pretty decent knowledge of the sky. Try dead reckoning with your Telrad instead. Break out that Sky Atlas 2000 and use the supplied piece of clear plastic (the one with the Telrad circles on it), placing it on the chart over the object you want to view. Then match that view of the telrad circles on the chart with your telrad in the sky. After a little practice you will be able to nail any object in a wide field EP.

Jupiter 4.28.03

Posted By Vincent Bert
Another phenomenal sketch!!! Are he dark bands in the equatorial belts really that apparent? I may need to get a 6" refractor! Excellent work Sol, you are an inspiration.
