I'm always interested in free stuff. I use 1 1/4 eyepieces. My widest eyepiece is 30mm - the 40mm sounds interesting. I don't know whether I have anything...
40mm in 1.25" eyepieces is no better than 32mm because of the field stop. "My advice is free and worth every penny!" -Christopher Erickson Network Design...

Hi Scott I'm jealous!! Have a good time with it down there, sounds ideal. I just went outside and was surprised at how dark it was. Lyra looks great, Vega and...
Wow! the Free stuff really brings out the messages eh? Along with Brett we do try to use our gear to give opportunities for kid observing. I have several OTAs...
Tonight I observed Jupiter again and could clearly see the Great Red Spot (GRS) but I could not see the new Red Spot Junior. The GRS appeared cleamy white in...
I've taken dozens of jpg photos of the moon. Can I use Registack to stack many jpgs to reduce the signal to noise ratio or is Registack a program that is used...
This is all conjecture and I'd love any additional insight or discussion: I tried Registax with a small quantity of digicam images, but ended up with ...
Hi Scott It's surprisingly dark up here now. I tried the 15x70 binoculars out and there is no way you can use them handheld, at least I cant! Even jammed ...
Tom; There was a review on the lightbridge telescope over at Cloudynights.com It appeared that there were some quality control issues with the scope. These...
Steve and Mike, Thanks for your input. When I get back to Alaska I'll try Registack out on a few jpgs. On my previous post I misstated: I want to INCREASE...
I posted a photo of the moon taken last night. This is 1 of 30. All 30 are pretty much identical so Registack should have something to work with. This is...
Nice photo Scott. I've aways like photo of the moon when it @ quarter to half moon. The lighting shows the craters more with its shadows. I would be...

Scott, for a great time you might also go afocal at higher magnifications, then move the camera to adjacent fields on the moon and combine the resulting shots...
Mike, I did take some higher magnification shots of the moon as well but the results are mixed. I'm just using the Teegul mount while here in Phoenix. The...

I've always thought it would be more exciting for Saturn to pass in front of the moon than the other more common outcome. Saturn is big but I think it would...
