While observing last night someone said "Look here I found StarGate", which was a small triangle of stars centered inside a larger triangle of stars north of M104. Can anyone add what they know about it.

I plan to attach a Tele Vue 102 scope to a Losmandy G11 mount and wanted to know what hardware works best and is one tube ring enough to hold the scope steady? Thanks for your help in advance.

Does the 4X PowerMate require an 3.5 inch extension on a TeleVue 102?

I spotted these tracks crossing the sand dunes at Little Sahara State Park, Waynoka, Oklahoma. I followed them over to a swampy area with cottonwood trees growing around it. What could it be?

The tracks led to the trees and at first I did not see anything . Then what I thought was a birds nest started to move. It was a porcupine. He slowly back down the tree and dissappeared into the underbrush.

Thanks Paul. Are there any more such objects this time of year?

Hello Ron

In our local newspaper today the Home and Garden reporter jokingly wonders if the scorched and frayed leaves on some of her plants could be caused by the nearness of Mars and if they had "Mars Scorch". I"m sure they have "Mars Mania"

Hello Nick

I recently bought a FS 152 and I am still adjusting to using a new scope and transporting and setting up in remote locations away from home. One thing I have noticed right off is the other people who usually bring their scopes out stopped bringing scopes and would bring nothing but themselves and some friends to come over to my site and enjoy the great views though the Tak. They even call me in the afternoon to see if I"ll be there that night. Then that night they sit around debating which one of them has the best scope while waiting their turn to look though the Tak. Before the night is done they have to admit that the Tak is the one to measure against. I have installed a Gemini GoTo on my G11 mount and wow what enjoyment viewing instead of endless hunting like I used to do. Your right about it being a keeper.
