Tonight, M3 and M5!

Posted By Bill Byrd
[COLOR="Purple"]Cool!
M5 is one of my most favorite GCs from a visual stand point. It'll be intersting to see how your picture compares.

Ahh, ready to image.

[COLOR="Purple"]That looks like a great place to image, Floyd!

Any light domes or are you far enough out to not have any?

Mixed Deep Sky Objects?

Posted By Bill Byrd
[COLOR="Purple"]Hi Ron!
I love deep sky duos!

I know there have been some lists posted on the internet in the past. I'm surprised someone hasn't chimed in with some info. I'm on a new computer so I don't have the links to any sites right now. I'll post something here if I find a list.

Crosshair wire

Posted By Bill Byrd
[COLOR="Purple"]If you have a spare video cable (one of the ones with the yellow RCA type plugs) there is some very fine copper wire inside. As fine as the wire is, it still might be bigger than the original wire. Some, me included, find that to be a good thing because it makes the crosshairs easier to see against the dark sky.
HTH,
