Storm on Saturn

Posted By Rex Cox

Steve Mathis said:

I was observing Saturn this morning with a 10" Dob at 203x, and could easily see the bright white storm in Saturn's northern hemisphere. Has anyone else seen it? The seeing here was surprisingly good, and I had the scope out with the fan running for an hour before observing. It was a pleasant 21° F out, with a light wind.

I wish I could Steve, but it's all I can do to get myself up at 4:30 to go to work. sad Hasn't been much pleasant about the weather here in OKC this week though. I may give it a try this weekend. I'd love to see it. Some of the photos I've seen are pretty spectacular.

how to create a classified ad

Posted By Rex Cox

Ronnie Beck said:

I'm new to this site but where can I find instructions to create a classified ad? I sent this question to astromart and was directed to the forums?? Not much of a help. I would have thought there would a tab to click that says "click here to set up a classified ad"

Ronnie

Ronnie,

Click on the 'Classifieds' tab at the top of the page. Then, click on the 'Place New Ad' link on the left side of the page.

c8 VS 6" achro

Posted By Rex Cox

victor truglio said:

For light poluted deep sky viewing, would you prefer an older c8 80's version not sure on the coatings or a 6" achro of a Celestron cr150 or Meade ar6 quality.
Thanks

I wouldn't buy anything if I weren't sure of the integrity of the coatings. If the coatings are good, I'd get the C8 for the lack of false color issues. That's just me though.

Congratulations Jon. You're going to have fun with that. Is that a tissue dipenser on the ladder for the altitude nosebleeds? wink

LROC Mosaic

This is really worth checking out! It is a "zoomify" presentation of a 550 Mb (!!!) image, a mosaic of the visible face of the moon that you can peruse! It is a keeper!

Where at, Steve?

How to Give Ratings

Posted By Rex Cox

Robert Ray said:

I have completed a couple of sales and am not sure how to give ratings. It has been a while since I gave or received ratings. Do I have to wait for the buyer or can the seller (me) initiate ratings?

If you want to give a rating, it does not make any difference who does it first or at all. Rate on! wink

The line "it could be worse, it could be....." often comes up in my circles when clouds interfere with telescope time.....
