Aurora shots

Posted By Robert Watters

Taken back on 10/24 from northern IL.
I walked out onto the deck about 8:30pm after an alert from a fellow club member who was observing at the time. The reds were very apparent, even without dark adapted eyes!

This one is looking NW.

Nice shot Jeff!
I guess I'll give it a try too.

Clear skies, Robert.

House Finch or Purple Finch?

Posted By Robert Watters

Thanks for the clarification Mike. I probably have never even seen a Purple Finch yet, now that I know the difference.

Nice shot! Mt. Pino's?
Looks like the Fuji Super HQ100 does pretty well.

Does it really matter???

Posted By Robert Watters

The Ultimas are really pretty nice eyepieces. IMHO I would choose a couple of them rather then 1 high dollar premium unit. I don't know if your ETX could take full advantage of the wide field premium eyepieces. Someone else with more knowledge on the suject maybe able to answer that question.

Lumicon Easy Guider

Posted By Robert Watters

Yes it sounds as if you are missing a few things. The scope end of the guider should have a threaded adaptor that would screw onto the back of your SCT and then be held into the guider with the 3 screws you mentioned. The camera end should have an adaptor that is specific to your camera and will be held in place with the other 3 screws.

Give Lumicon a call, they should have everything you need.

And another thing!

I think I remember reading it has something to do with not wanting to disturb ancestral burial sites that are scattered thoughout the vicinity of the new building sites.
