Meteorite stolen from WSP.

Posted By Linton Rohr
Oh my. That is so sad.
Hopefully, the thief will have second thoughts and return it.
I wonder if it was a fellow astronomer.
That just makes my stomach turn.

Hey Ivan! Great shots, every one!
Number 5 has to be my favorite, though.
Thanks for sharing the scenery! grin

TeleVue Eyepiece Collection

Posted By Linton Rohr
Forgive me for chiming in late on this one,
but I can't be left out of a TeleVue collection thread! wink
I'd recommend the T4's, T5's, T6's and the Radians.
There. That's four! 8)

Seriously though...

31 T5
20 T5
13 Ethos
7 T6
3-6 zoom for planetary

(No, that's not cheating - I traded in the barlow!) smile

Hey Fred, that's a great shot!
What a way to start out the evening.
(Now that I know the clouds went away.) ;^)

Hey Floyd, that looks good!
Sorry, I was just to tired to make it up there.
Next time, for sure!

Stolen meteorite found

Posted By Linton Rohr
That's good news, Rex! Cool story.
I had been hoping this was the one that was stolen at the WSP in Florida.
Has anyone heard anything further about that one?

Been Quiet Around Here Lately.....

Posted By Linton Rohr
"We've had the thread about how nice sklices are - but I really prefer individual meteorites."

My favorites are a combination of the two Michael, end slices.
You get the overall look of an indivividual, with crust, regmaglypts, etc,
plus a glimpse of the interior via the sliced surface.
Window cuts or chips are good in that regard, too.
Having said that, I'll have to admit slices are
really nice for viewing under the microscope.
I'll try to post a few pictures I took recently through the eyepiece.
