Thanks for passing that along, Thomas.
Sorry to hear of his declining health.
We've already lost Lawrence Chitwood, who co-authored
Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites with him.
We're all heading down that road, but we'd all prefer to procrastinate as much as possible.
Best wishes to him and his wife.

Very nice, Paul!
I've recently started looking for some "Billie",
but I doubt I'll end up with one that nice any time soon.
Thanks for sharing.

Salt Creek Marsh - HDR Image

Posted By Linton Rohr
Excellent, Tyler!
So, this technique allows you to take bracketed shots and combine them?
It seems to have worked very well. Nice scene, too. smile

Nice activity (9 May)

Posted By Linton Rohr
Yes indeed, Mike.
I've been trying out my new Lunt 60mm DS this week.
Some nice proms earlier in the week, but very nice
surface activity has developed the last couple days.
This scope is quite a step up from my PST. smile

Which Televue EP set to buy?

Posted By Linton Rohr
Okay, Paulo.
Given those two choices, (since I already gave you my alternate ideas,
I'd go with opion 1, unless your seeing conditions are regularly pretty good.
That gives you better mid-range, and you can always add an 8mm or even 6mm Ethos later.
I'm not a big barlow/powermate fan anyway, but I'd hold off
on those until you get to use the 3 eyepieces a while.
That's my 2 cents - your mileage may vary. wink

Is the Lunt 50mm supposed to be this good?

Posted By Linton Rohr
All I can say is I'm pretty damn happy with my LS60T50DS/B1200 (how's that for a model number!).
I've really been enjoying it since I received it about 2 weeks ago.
I've only owned a PST prior to this, but I've looked through
Solarmax 60's and 90's, so I have a good idea of what's possible.
I'm thankful for the slight uptick in solar activity lately,
but am really looking forward to the next big cycle. smile

Messed up a feedback and need to change it

Posted By Linton Rohr
Douglas,
Just explain that to the seller, and reply to his ad again, thus activating the feedback system.
Then you can write a new feedback text to replace the deleted one. I think that will work.

Another two images from this weekend

Posted By Linton Rohr
Hey, pretty nice Floyd!
You were a busy boy this weekend.
Have you considered imaging 5139, just for grins?
I'm sure it would not produce a fine image, but it would be fun to see.
