Clarification on the issue of the 14mm UWA sale

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Roger that! 8)

Indeed, all "known" information pointed towards a "fishy" transaction, and I guess that's why we all fell someway-somehow into the assumptions...

I'm glad to know that this was all a BIG misunderstanding, that it was resolved to the benefit of both parties.

I too learned a lesson, and will try my best to wait a bit longer before judging anybody... 8)


Thanks Floyd! (and keep up the good job!) 8)

Welcome aboard Kaz! 8)
That's a great shot you got there, even though I can definitely say that you should be able to get even more out of your scope...

What camera and how many frames did you stack? what program are you using?


Thanks for sharing, and keep it up! wink

Rosette 20D vs 20Da

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Amazing difference in sensitivity, that's for sure! 8)
Too bad the "Da" is not good for "regular, day to day" shots, hard to convince the wife that "WE NEED ONE"... wink 8) (I guess I'll have to keep playing with my D70...)

Roll off observatory finished!

Wonderful setup Greg! 8)
Looking forward to seeing your shots...

As a side note, I'll be starting on the REBUILD of my observatory soon, which should be something very close to what you got... wink
Still fixing the house from last year's hurricane...



Clear skies, and keep those shots coming! wink
