2" Nosepiece

Posted By Steve Mathis

I think the 2" would have less vignetting than the 1.25", and is one less thing to attach. I sort of guessing, as I haven't compared one vs. the other. I use a 2" on my DSLR.

The 25 Mb animation takes a while to load, but it is worth the wait! Thanks, Maurice!

Fritillary on Ironweed

Two beautiful shots! It was good of the butterfly to land on flowers with such complementary colors! I've enjoyed all your photos lately, John. Keep 'em coming!

Sagittarius Milky Way

Wow, Jim, very nice! You can see the "Swan" in M17! I have come to realize that the sort of golden-brown color of the star clouds in this region is real.

Predictions of future glory

Posted By Steve Mathis

Don't worry Jim. Here in Oklahoma, the Republicans have control of both House and Senate. So let's see, what have they done? A bill concerning the filing of horse teeth, and of course the monument to the Ten Commandments on the Capitol grounds.
