Ok, one more please! :^)Posted By Linton Rohr |
Aw shucks, Floyd.
I was having fun squinting, trying to see how many
faint ones I could pick out before. This is too easy!
Awwwwwesome!

Congratulations Michael!
I might actually consider joining a club that would have you as a member.

Image of the newest addition to the collectionPosted By Linton Rohr |
Hey, that's a nice one, Michael!
Reminds me of of one I got from Bob King,
only about 10 times heavier. And there's a big brother?
Your 1cm cube sure is dwarfed!

Friday night at LAAS Leo's TripletPosted By Linton Rohr |
Looks great, Floyd!
The dust lane came out really good, especially out on the ends.
M65 and 66 looks good too. The M101 image is quite nice too,
but I'm partial to the trio since I got to witness that one.

My new trailer modificationPosted By Linton Rohr |
Oh good, you got a shot from inside, Floyd!
I can attest to it's comfort and convenience.
It wins my Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. 8)

Arizona in AprilPosted By Linton Rohr |
Beautiful shots, Jerry!
The red rock seems to glow from within.
I've only been in a couple slot canyons,
and they were not nearly as nice as that.

After Dark
Thursday Night At Pinos/Light PollutionPosted By Linton Rohr |
Hi Rod.
I was in a so-what-if-the-moon's-out mood too,
and headed out to Joshua Tree Friday night.
We arrived at sunset, which made for a nice drive into the park,
but then we had to set up in the dark, make that by moonlight!
Once everything was ready, we walked around in the moonlight for a while,
took some pictures, and just kicked back and waited for moonset.
It got a whole lot darker then, and I observed a lot of galaxies and globular clusters,
until about 3:30, when I crawled into my bag and entered the dream world.
SQM readings were between 21.55 and 21.70, with good transparency but poor seeing.
Pretty nice night all in all, and we got to explore the park the next day.
The desert wildflowers are looking good this year.

Leveling a Dob with DSCs: Is it needed?Posted By Linton Rohr |
George,
While I wouldn't want to set up on a 30 percent grade,
it isn't at all neccesary to level your rocker box.
I used to fuss with it a bit, but I got over it.
Much more important is a stable surface and a good star alignment.
I use both Sky Commander and Argo Navis. (not at the same time)

Thanks Maurice. That's great news!
Makes sense to extend such a successful mission, too!
