10-'fer' bro!
Green River State Wildlife area..next Saturday. New moon is on Friday...and thus far the WX forecast looks promising...Lets get together for an informal star party! Plenty of room and 'decent'...
Great to hear, truly is. We often (our observing group) wonder if the folks out west appreciate what they have, and apparently your post answers this completely. Didn't win the lotto...
Nice reply Jerry...and I agree wholeheartedly. The paradoxical nature of galaxy viewing allows me to find the greatest intrigue of all objects observed. I am SO jealous of you guys who live at or...
M95 and its spiral arms were beautiful last night! But was even more amazing was its S/N that propagated light nearly as bright as all of the galaxy's stars combined. Very obvious...
Just returning from our local dark sky sight Green River State Wildlife Area near Dixon, IL...WOW:shocked:..hands down one of my greatest deep field viewing sessions of my entire observing life! To...

After the Ethos 13 hit the market, I acquired one and used it extensively over a period of months, frequently comparing it to my 13 T6. The results? Maybe 1 object in 10 or 20 looked better in...
I recently acquired a collection of older, simple 1.25" eyepieces. In this collection were some Brandons, a UO Ortho, EDS Ortho and various Plossl type eyepieces. I compared them while observing...
I WANT ONE!:shocked: The medium duty model. How soon can I get one??
Ha! I just about ordered one already..hopefully get it in a month or so...just for the new observing season!
Ha, Az. eh? Been there man. Darn near double the aperture of your scope compared to us chumps here in the Midwest who think a good night is seeing 5th magnitude stars LOL!
Neither, use a Delos, if available of course...for planetary as illustrated by the OP's post's title..
Faith,
The Deloi, and well as the Ethoi, are the next evolutionary step in eyepiece design. Having said that, they completely outperform all Nagler eyepieces, especially in areas of...
Could this be possible? In the upper Midwest in February? Nah..must be a dream.. CSC indicates a night of even better seeing and transparency then last night...guess I'm rolling my baby outta the...
During a very cold observing session last night, Ed Neuzil and I are quite sure we actually saw NGC 2419, the Milky-Way's most distant globular cluster in Lynx. In an 8" aperture, the object was...
Globs eh? Celestial 'Hoe's and stellar swingers you say??:P LOL! And yes, Globs are the best in big dobs..and so is EVERYTHING ELSE!:D
Observing has begun..thus far Jupiter, M42, M37..
Conditions: Cold!:shocked: 5-8mph steady wind out of the ENE..air temp right now at 30F with far colder wind chills..seeing is average to poor,...
Thank you Michael!
My baby awaiting starlight on my patio..:cool:83
Dragan,
I'm not sure the term 'optically better' is correct, more so then it just provides better views due to its constructional composition. Its essentially an Ethos by design,...
Skies have cleared nicely, and I have had some quality time to gauge some of my first thoughts about this new eyepiece. I've only thus far observed Jupiter, and now I am working on Mars. The only...
It suddenly occurred to me today in the midst of mundane morning human activities, that this mystery of dark energy/matter, the overwhelming unmeasurable 'stuff' in the universe,(which equates to...
Hey Dude!...Thanks man! I worked hard over the years getting my scope as you would say 'tweaked' the way it is. Its WAY better now then it was when I first got it, optically as well as...
You know that would definitely be cool. Unfortunately, the landscape isn't what is it now as it was back then. Even if the CAS and members of the current PSSP could bury their hatchets, there is...
Hi Faith..
Pleased to meet you! I too am in the same boat as you. I did briefly have digital setting circles on my first 10" Eq. mounted scope, but they never worked well. I sent...
Oh yea, don't know to much about Jimi..but like Dragan, I'm quite insane..
