Hi John, Where do I look to see the images you have posted of the scopes? How expensive was the Zeiss? Just curious, Thanks, Rick from Tucson ... [Non-text...

Hello, everyone. I am strictly a visual observer through my TOA-130S refractor. Double stars and planets, mostly, that I sketch at the eyepiece. Eyepieces are ...
I posted an image by Scott Hammonds made with AP equipment of M81 and M82, stretched to reveal the intergalactic medium. This image is very similar both in...
The mentioned companion is NGC 3077, once classified as a Seyfert - see link below. Although morphologically nearly identical to the region surrounding NGC...
What do you think? Tony Tony, Try none, you might like it (I think you will, I sure do) although the mount needs to be tall enough. I use a Pier tech that...
That's pretty but seems unreal. No, I'm talking about the optical counterpart to this: http://www.seds.org/messier/Pics/More/m81gr_poss.jpg This matches the...
The sweep is exactly that seen on the radio contour map of the area, sweeping up from M81 to 3077 in a broad lane with denser edges (a tube?). The caption to...
... It's not my image but as I understand it it is LRGB only, dark site, not very long exposure and stretched "lots" to put it mildly. It generated _enormous_...
Yes, I see that now in the seds image. In that other image (the Tak one) there is so much (local) dust in the way I can't see through it to detect any bridge...
Dunno, I'm just a dumb physicist, what do I know of imaging? :) I'm glad you guys are around! I uploaded a new image with the radio map superimposed on the...

... Hi Doug, I can't say anything about the Apogee Widestar 102mm but it appears that the Antares 1056 is a cousin to it. You can find thoughts on the Antares...
Hi Vahe, I was delirious from being outside in the cold too long when I typed the message, The 150 Zeiss APQ is indeed listed as an f/8. I swapped it in my...
I was at a presentation by Rebecca Koopman of Union College which extensively discussed the gas clouds shared by M81 and M82. You can see some of her research...
That is a good question, and should be definitively answered by photometry. I do not think it has been. Any true galactic cirrus will be most luminous in the...
I always find it supremely ironic that the black hole paradigm, which is invoked as a deus ex cosmica for all phenomena, is used mostly to explain what is...
Thank you, sir. I've been rooting through old photos looking for a couple in particular. Lots of convention photos - Stellafane, Astrofest, Winter Star Party,...
I would like to see a very deep field image of the region around NGC 4151. It is well placed now for imaging during dark hours. Thanks in advance. -drl...

Okay so I'm new to this astronomy thing we seem to love but I have already caught the larger scope bug. So before I decide what to buy I'd like the groups'...
