    Thanks Alvin;

    I appreciate the exact observation, just what I wanted. If I start chasing this type of fine detail I will consider a couple of high power, narrow field and simple eyepieces.

    Could one of the folks saying that they see a difference in viewing DSOs with a "simpler" eyepiece provide a precise observation. Tell me a faint galaxy or PN that you can see with...

    Hello Rod, Adrian, et al;

    I have decided that dark energy and dark matter don't exist. They are the "ether" of the 21st century. It is all a math calculation gone wrong. No, I don't have any...

    Hi Steve, Reiner, et al;

    I agree with the idea that discovering this object without a filter would have been difficult, the UHC certainly makes a big difference. I like that so much detail can be...

    Help with posting small photo

    Dragon, or whomever;

    I really think I went through the process to put up an avatar, can I have some ideas about what I might have done wrong?

    BTW, great site.

    Thanks;
