26mm type V nagler - blackouts?

Posted By Linton Rohr
Good advice you've received, Tim.
The T5's are my favorite Naglers.
I use the 31, 26, and 20 a lot. The 16 only a bit.
I've never had black-out issues with them.
You'll love the 26. grin

Well, I finally got in to see it, on the way to the GCSP.
Worth the wait, to say the least! grin

My M8 from this weekend, more red added

Posted By Linton Rohr
Looks good, Floyd, but I think I prefer your original.
The M20 looked great, as well.
And the M16 from last week was super!
Sorry I wasn't there. Just got back to town.
See you soon...

Get that "H" out of teleschope, and the link works better. wink
Sounds like a great new event, Alex.
See you there.

TeleVue 101 Review

Posted By Linton Rohr
Yeah, I read that the other day. Thanks.
I just received the original Genesis 101, in trade for my TV-85.
While it's a bit less color corrected, it's still a very nice scope
and I'm looking forward to getting out to dark skies soon.

7X42 Ultima binoculars

Posted By Linton Rohr
Darian,
The old Ultimas are great, and if you watch the ads every day you can still find them here.
I've bought a couple pair of 8x56 and one 7x50, just in the past year.
Love 'em!

central star in M57

Posted By Linton Rohr
Dietmar,
I have caught a glimpse via averted vision in my 14.5" Starmaster
a few times, but only on very good nights.
I have seen it better in some larger scopes at star parties, too.
But the 60" Hale scope on Mt. Wilson showed it bright and clear,
with no averted vision whatsoever required. Awesome! 8O

I can't believe we did this!

Posted By Linton Rohr
That must have been really great, Greg!
I'll be hearing the L.A.Philharmonic tomorrow night at the Hollywood Bowl,
but I don't think I'll bother taking a scope. They bill it as "an evening under the stars..."
Typically, there's about a dozen stars visible, maybe twenty tops.
Now, Jupiter might work, but it's in the trees back behind the nosebleed section. wink

Nice Prom Now! 11:15 AM CDT

Posted By Linton Rohr
Thanks Steve.
That was certainly worth looking at.
I've seen a few of similar size over the last month or two,
but they are few and far between. But I'll take what I can get! grin
