Finderscopes

It's a baffle, it sits downstream and hopefully doesn't cut the light cone.

Leaving cloudy skies and bright nights behind

Posted By Dmitri Kulginov
Inge,

I'm very happy for you and wish you good luck! While you are there, please keep in mind the next trip with joint forces. And we want regular observing reports from you, or, if it's not possible, a couple of big ones when you return.

Deep sky with binoculars

Posted By Dmitri Kulginov
Bob,

Get yourself Karkoschka's The Observer's Sky Atlas. About a half of its objects could be glipmsed with binoculars (unlike SA2000 where the ratio must be 1:1000000), and the limiting magnitude is 9 - just right for binos.

William Optics Ez touch mount?

Posted By Dmitri Kulginov
Excellent! I use it with my C8 and a 2kg counterweight at mostly 200-300x on Jupiter and up to 400x on double stars with no problem. No slow motion controls and none needed. Note that I have a different tripod.

SCT Collimation needed?

Posted By Dmitri Kulginov
It is out of collimation. Read the manual, google "SCT collimation", buy Bob's knobs.

Astronomy season 2005/2006. Looking back

Posted By Dmitri Kulginov
Inge,

Thanks for the excellent post! It made me realize that the new 'year' is starting real soon now. I've also started to look back at the year that passed, and it takes more time than I expected.
