Beautiful shot Dan!
It is amazing to think about the time invested in all these shots... you've spent 7 1/2 hours in this object alone! 8O

Thanks for the hard work, and for sharing! wink

History Of the Observatory eyepiece.

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

I remember seeing a couple of 4" eyepieces while down at the WSP, here in South Florida...

They were definitely "special" eyepieces... and I wonder "are these the largest ones, or is there anything larger than these?"

It's gotta be impressive to look through these eyepieces... (I would suppose) or because the large telescopes they would go into, they would end up being like .965" or 1.25" eyepieces for ours, mere mortals? wink

Has anybody here viewed through some of these "LARGE" eyepieces? what was the experience like?

Clear skies! 8)

Using 2 meade ar6 refractors to make a binocular

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

I took these 2 photos a couple of years ago, at the WSP2004.
This gentleman had these (2) 6" refractors side by side, in a BINO configuration, and it worked rather well... (I seem to recall he had 2 sets of TV Dielectrics, 2 per scope)

I do not recall his name, but i'm posting the pics just to help out... 8)

Clear skies!
