Book recommendation

Thanks for that link, Robert. I don't get over to CN often enough.
Do you know if they have an astronomy program at Capitol Reef N.P. yet?
Have a great time up in Bryce!

Question about EP storage in EP Case

Posted By Linton Rohr
Hi Dave.
Those Storm Cases are very nice. Which one did you get?
I have the iM2600. I'm getting ready to cut new foam as we speak.
I prefer to have my larger EP's lying down when the case is open.
It's less efficient use of available space, but that's just more ergonomic for me.
My smaller EP's, Radians and T6's are standing up, which I'm comfortable with.
I think either way, they'll be adequately protected,
as long as you leave an inch or more of foam around all sides.
Floyd reconfigured his case so that they're all standing up,
so he could get them all in one case.
I have a couple that just won't fit now, but I'm not sure I want to go that route.
I may need to make room for a 13mm Ethos, too! wink

12mm and 17mm T4's now reside where the 8.8mm and 14mm UWA's are in this picture.
They're feeling awfully left out as of late.

Eyepiece recommendations?

Posted By Linton Rohr
Hey Dave.
I guess a pair of the ever popular 24mm Panoptics is out of the question? wink
My second choice would be 19mm Panoptics.
The 20mm Plossl's would be fine too. I had a pair of 26's for a while.

Summer Lament

Posted By Linton Rohr
Yeah Bill, the DST is the worst part!
BUT consider what we get to observe in those brief nights...
In Sagitarius, Scorpius, and Cygnus alone...
My glass is more than half full. wink

Oh Floyd, you whimster! wink
You've always got something up your sleeve.
Looks like another winner.

beginners GEM?

Posted By Linton Rohr
Thanks to everyone for their input last week.
I appreciate your experience and advice.
I couldn't resist going out on a limb, and sent payment
today for a GM-8 equipped with encoders and Argo Navis.
I can use the AN with my Starmaster too, so that's a big plus.
And I end up with a very nice GEM, too! wink

Another attempt, M8 this time

Posted By Linton Rohr
Hey Floyd, not bad for a rookie! 8)
You finally took the plunge!
Looks like you're off to a good start.
I'm afraid to delve into photography until
I've got much more time on my hands! wink
That may never happen.
