I'm a new member, and am interested in the Alaskan skies. As an amateur astronomer I live in the Detroit area (Farmington Hills), and am wondering how dark...
Hi Stephen Not much viewing time right now. If deep sky if your favorite thing, the season is over until late August perhaps. If deep sky photography is your...
Those all sound like good scope choices and are good values for the money. If it were me I might also consider the Orion 100-120ED on the SVP or better mount. ...
Here is a link to NEAF photos that was posted on the AP group. Lots of great photos. There's even a photo of our Chris E! See if you can find him... ...
Too Funny, this is like "Where's Waldo" There are also some great photos on Cloudy Nights of the show, and I must admit I looked for Chris there too. This must...
I found my sodden carcass so yes, you made me look! I'll be uploading my NEAF 2008 pics within the next several days. -Chris ... -- -Christopher Erickson ...
I swear he was showing his Treo to every attendee! LOL! Huh.....found a pic of me as well....but you guys/gals don't know what I look like! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ...
http://www.pbase.com/mclemens1969/image/96739346/original It is quite an extreme challenge now to image anything faint under our skies. There is no steady...
Hi Mike, Thanks for sharing the photos that you've been taking. I've enjoyed seeing all of them. It's probably time to buy a solar filter for the new scope...
Might be some good Saturn observing tonight through this weekend, seeing predictions look positive and clouds seem to be spotty. The solar scope would be...
When you say "tonight", what time are you talking? Like 2:00 AM. I have two high school kids that go till midnight before I can get them shut down, then I get...
... As soon as you can find it in the sky. Before that if your goto is warmed up. I'll try to notice tonight what time the earliest I find it by naked eye is. ...
... Except if your Chris Erickson, than you'll be like "Jupiter is the big brown planet, right? There's just so many planets every year I get them mixed up,...
Mike For the challenges you seem to be facing, your photos are very good. Thanks for sharing them. Patty In a message dated 05/07/08 17:22:55 Eastern Daylight...
I'll sell you my SolarMax-40 filter set and I'll get a 60! "My advice is always free and worth every penny!" -Christopher Erickson Network Design Engineer 5432...
Not yet! Soon... Soon... "My advice is always free and worth every penny!" -Christopher Erickson Network Design Engineer 5432 E. Northern Lights Blvd., Suite...
... OK I guess I am taking goto for granted already. Saturn looks good in the 10 PM darkness, but the sky is still way too bright for me to see the planet...
In the end, Saturn was obvious to naked eye by 11 PM last night. Even with Saturn quite low the seeing was very excellent for most of the the ~2 hour I spent...
Someone is posting NEAF vids now for us folks trapped in Alaska. <http://cloudynights.blip.tv/> http://cloudynights.blip.tv/ (Watch Televue unveil the new 8mm...
Did you find a buyer for that filter? What are asking for it? Or are you seriously looking to sell it? Brett P.S. I need to stop by before you get too far...
No, Haven't sold it yet and yes, I am still contemplating upgrading. This is what I got: http://www.buytelescopes.com/product.asp?pid=3020 And an ETX-125...
It looks like the 11 year solar cycle is at its minimum right now but in three years it will be back to its maximum. It's probably a good time to get into...
I think I'll have to pass. I'm sure the filter would be fun, but the adapters won't help -- I don't have anything that size. And although your price is...
Quiet in here... hows the deep sky observing programs going ? Hahah I cut some serious trees last weekend, opened up the observator skies tremendously. Also...
I have been busy: 1. Getting ready for Tom Duggan's arrival in Alaska. 2. Finishing the observatory (I guess so I can sell it!) 3. Getting the house ready to...
