Hi Laurie! Welcome to the group. I suspect that you were looking at Venus. It really dominates the western horizon these evenings, and will for sometime....
Hello Laurie: welcome to OAOG...it was not a bird or a plance or UFO it was as you guessed Venus. Jupiter does rise later in the evening in the Eastern sky....
Hello Laurie, Others have already pointed out that it was most likely Venus that you were looking at. I am an amatuer myself, I find there is some great stuff...

If you are interested here are the pictures of the NEAF 2007 conference. I've not had time to annotate them yet and some of the need a little gimp'ing to ...
Great pictures Bruce! Those handmade wooden scopes are absolutely breathtaking. When set up next to the highly machined metalic versions, it is not hard to...

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone is considering going to the Frozen Banana May 10-13? I've attended 2 of them so far, had a great time and now I'm...
Hi Bruce! Hi Bojan! The mount you are looking at is the WO EZTouch. It is a great mount, that will handle 2 rather good sized scopes. During my run at the...
To me, it doesn't make any sense. Maybe they wanted to demonstrate the weight capacity for the mount though. But it would have looked better had they mounted...
The other reason may simply be that otherwise you need to have a counterweight shaft and counterweight on the other side with a heavier refractor, such as the...
Bruce ... REALLY nice pics - and I still haven't got to the end of them .... They really convey the atmosphere - I felt I was there - and that I really should...

... I'd like to echo Joes words. I had a great time. Joe, Cliff and Ken where great traveling companions and this fun of search, buying, chating about our ...
I agree with Simon. An early start would work for me. 5:30 - 6:00 however may be to early for some who want/need to make an appearance at home before heading ...
Hi, Quiznos at 6PM gets my vote! It would actually be quite nice to avoid having to re-locate to a different venue. When the weather is ideal in the summer, ...
My choice is Wendy's on Walkley and Conroy. There is a much greater variety of food on their menu and their prices are cheaper. They have a wide variety of...
