Nils, There's not going to be much to resolve. For the 6 best you're looking at sizes ranging from 3.6" down to 2.5" and visual magnitudes ranging from 13.8 to...
Exactly. That and pushing your skill and limits as an observer. After finding a tiny 15th mag. globular, seeking out a other difficult targets won't seem so...
We're visiting Zion National Park. Great place. I thought it would be a lot like Bryce, but its like an order of magnitude larger in scale. The SW at its...
After seeing Tony's M32 Globulars I began to wonder if it would be possible to find them also so I took a look at the M31/32 I took a couple of weeks ago and...
Pretty slick. I vote for the promotion... I'll have to revisit the M31 I did a year ago with the Canon 400d. It's not as good as yours though, and those are...
George: It's great to get these reports - you are a one-man sky darkness evaluation team, covering many of the darkest places in the west-southwest. Both the...

As some of us may recall (of course some of us may not recall and some of us may not have even been there to recall) at our last meeting there was a discussion...
Hi Kirby, I wasn't there so I'm not sure what was discussed but I'll throw in a few tidbits in case anyone is hungry. The bottom line with field flatteners is...
Thanks Tony - I knew that but I just wanted to humor everyone by spending all this time doing this experiment. By the way, why don't they just put the things...
I think that¹s the idea of the Petzval refractors. Steve ... Re: [ASLC_Imagers] Flattener Testing I think thats the idea of the Petzval refractors. Steve On...
Kirby, That's a good question. I suspect that it usually comes down to time and production cost. Also, if it's a multi-use instrument it's best added only if...

That's right. The thing is there are many more designs out there then ever come to market as commercial instruments. Most of the designs you can actually buy...

Yes, I guess that's been my impression throughout this exercise. The skies that we have just a short distance out of town are better then probably what 90% of...
Actually, we don't have much to bitch 'n moan about, compared to the conditions most other amateurs have to deal with....it's just our nature to complain, so...
