Hi there. I began observing several days ago. My best image from Dec 4 is linked: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2121/2090244572_227a504677_o.jpg The lack of...
Darn, I wasn't able to get to your image. I'm having similar problems. What I see are vary faint details, can't really get good shapes for them. It's clouding...

Hi there all. Thought I'd pop in this question and get some feeling from other newt fiends. I just got hold of a nice 12.5 f5.85 primary and I'm going to...
Longer focal length and smaller CO will certainly give better views of planets, as long as the accuracy of the mirror is the same or better and the coatings...
My jealously of your good fortune of having two 12.5 inch mirrors may cloud my judgment. But, here's what I've experienced with my meager 6, 8, and 10 inch ...
Hi guys. Nice replies. I do have a couple good mirrors. My old f4.5 is a dream piece of glass made by Steve Dodds about 15 years ago, the f5.85 is an old Meade...
