Moon Atlas

Posted By Gerry Feulner
Hi Everyone- I was wondering if there is a Moon Atlas or website available that gives detailed crater and craterlet information. Especially the diameters of the tiny craterlets we see in these beautiful photos on this forum. I have the Ruki atlas but need something more detailed. A website would be preferable. Thanks, Gerry Feulner

Meade optics upgrade

Posted By Gerry Feulner
Hi Everyone- There's an ad in the Catadioptric section on Astromart stating that the optics on this particular scope were upgraded to "grade A". Does this mean that Meade optics can actually be "upgraded" (at a higher cost, of course) to a better optical quality than the "run of the mill" optics that come standard? This is not meant to be a criticism. Just curious. Thanks

First attempt at Saturn

Posted By Gerry Feulner
My friend and I tried imaging Saturn Friday night. The enclosed photo is a stacked image of about 60 of the best frames. It is unprocessed. If anyone would like to try and improve it, please do so. We fooled around with processing it but only got fair results. Thanks, Gerry

Opinion on GPS11

Posted By Gerry Feulner
Hi everyone- I'm seriously thinking of buying a GPS 11 with XLT coatings. I'd like to know your opinion if you have one of these scopes. I'm particularly interested in the optical quality.

Starbright vs XLT

Posted By Gerry Feulner
Happy Holidays everyone- I got some nice responses from my previous post asking for opinions on the C11 so here goes again---. Has anyone actually done a side by side comparison of Celestrons, one with Starbright coatings and one with XLT coatings? Celestron claims an improvement of 16%, but that could be just advertisement. I'm mainly interested in any contrast gains. Thanks again.

Plato?

Posted By Gerry Feulner
Did anyone image Plato last night? It was coming out of the shadow and was spectacular!

Opinion on Digitec laser collimator

Posted By Gerry Feulner
I just bought a C11 and have the Bob's Knobs but was thinking of buying the Digitec laser collimator. Does anyone have one and what do you think of it? Does it screw into the back of the C11 after removing the 1 1/4" visual back or do I need a 2" adapter? Thanks, Gerry

Has anyone tried the new O.P.S. eyepieces from University Optics? Gerry

$10.00 container for storing C11

Posted By Gerry Feulner
I'm sure this has been "discovered" before but if you have a C11 and have the bottom part of the foam insert that it was shipped in, the 35 gal sized container by Sterilite sold at Walmart is the perfect size to fit the insert and C 11! And all for only $10.00! I had to only remove the finder and diagonal but there is plenty of room in the container for them. Gerry

Star magnitudes around m57

Posted By Gerry Feulner
Would someone please give me the website (I think by Brian Skiff) that lists the magnitudes of stars in the vicinity of M57? I used to have it in "my documents" but somehow lost it. Thanks, Gerry
