M42 from Foggybottom Obs.

Gary, welcome to THE DARK SIDE... 8)
That's a nice FIRST post... thanks for sharing!

One thing though, careful when "sharpening" a shot, as sometimes we pull TOO MUCH detail, making our shot lose the "natural" look... 8)


Keep it up! 8)

Focal Reducer for C-11 w/Optec TCF-S Focuser

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Kerry, what focal reducer are we talking about?

If it is like the Celestron/Meade f/6.3 or the f/3.3, then you'll most likely put it between the scope and the focuser (unless stated otherwise in your focuser's manual). If it is another kind, like the ones you can attach directly to the nosepiece of your CCD camera, then that's the way to do it...

M81-82

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Floyd, your link points to the LAST UPLOADED file, so your image no longer shows... (sorry if I messed up your link, as I just created my own folder and posted some images...) 8)

You should be able to link up to your own image though...

Stolen meteorite found

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
NO, the one stolen at WSP I'm afraid we'll never see again... :C
I'm amazed at what some "people" do..., very sad.
