To post or not to post, that is the question?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Floyd, may I remind you that all observations are PERSONAL? NO MATTER WHO DOES IT... 8)

I appreciate all that you and all experts (and NO experts) do, specially when using their time to provide us with a report on equipment that we don't have, or maybe we do...(but would like to check and see how it stacks up against other equipment)

All Personal tests should be taken "with a grain of salt", since there are way too many variables involved in each and every test, but it should give us a pretty good idea of performance with a given range of scopes.

People that take all these reports like GOSPEL are simply wrong, as they are NOT meant to be treated like that...

Most of all, these things are done because we love our hobby, and for fun...


So, how about you share with us your report?
You have many here that are eager to read it, and after all, this is THE EYEPIECE Forum, you need to keep it alive, and your reports will keep it that way... wink


Clear skies, mi amigo! 8)

Great report Donny! Glad to hear that "you and the boys" are sharing some Quality Time under the skies... (enjoy them while they are little, they grow up too fast!)

As a funny note: you mention in your post that they were gettin' interested in ASTROLOGY... and I surely hope you meant ASTRONOMY... wink


Clear skies, and don't forget to keep posting! 8)

Wednesday's Loop Prominence

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Nicely done Dave! 8)

I enhanced a lil' bit your image in Photoshop, just so as to bring up the detail on the edges, and it shows 2 prominences, one at about 9 o'clock and the other at about 12 o'clock...

Hope you'll like it...
