Using a SV Nighthawk, I was scanning the area in Cygnus, in another attempt at the NGC 7000. No cigar, but I did manage an area with many open clusters which...
This has probably been said many times on this forum, but I'll add my 2c. There is no reason to by a 2" eyepiece just because it is a 2" eyepiece. All...
Jim I know I didn't ask the question(s) - but what a great answer! You always take the time to answer whatever questions you can as best you can. They are...
Gene: Your advise is very good. One of the things people forget is that they only need as much field as "they need". I only recently got a 2" 40mm EP for my...
Welcome to the group Marilyn. You might try Anacortes Telescope & Wild Bird. They have a very wide selection of photographic adapters. Hundreds to be exact....

An update! I was told that I hit the North American Nebula in this shot. Hmmm, maybe I could not see the forest for the trees (ah stars) :-) I looked at the...
Bruce, As an almost-newbie I'd like to second the advice below. I got the Nighthawk complete package with the M4 mount as my first scope and while it was OK,...

Hey John, Sounds like you're still having a good time with the 80/9D, can't wait to hear you impressions with the 102. BTW, the big gun you sold me is...

Hi Barry! I was also out last night trying out my newly modified gear for my RA drive. First target was Deneb (11x30s) and then I, just for fun, did a GOTO...
I've seen the NA nebula visually in my SV80L with OIII filter. You have to use low power, wide fov and pan very slowly on a good dark night. Otherwise you pan...
I've tried to detect NGC 7000 with binoculars and using my Vixen 70mm guidescope. I could not see it. So what I did was slew the scope a little to the left...
