Clavius enlargmentPosted By Roland Christen |
There is a lot of edge ringing in your image. Is that because of the way the individual images line up, or the camera itself, or the way you processed or sharpened the image?

Pinholes in Coatings?Posted By Roland Christen |
Looks like splatter marks to me. Caused during the coating process. Splatter marks (some call then spit marks) are little spherical nodules caused by too fast application of the overcoat.

Vixen ED RefractorsPosted By Roland Christen |
Yes, those of us who design and make refractors all know what Vixen is making. The term "Krus flint" is just a wrong spelling of the German "Kurz Flint" which is a generic term for a crown-flint glass (i.e. one with a dispersion of between 45 and 55). It means very little. I suspect that it was a marketeer sitting in on an engineering meeting, getting the spelling wrong on a term which sounded good to him for advertising purposes.

OT-Sweating It Out With an 8" RefractorPosted By Roland Christen |
Your article brings back many fond memories of my early observing days.
Even today I like being at my telescope in the observatory, in the silence of the night. All cares melt away.
Very well written.

Is there a focal reducer for Meade 102ed?Posted By Roland Christen |
Astro-Physics offers a .67x made for CCD imaging. It screws into the nosepiece of an SBIG camera, or any camera with 45mm filter thread in front.
