Chip: Some factors to consider include set up time versus aperture and accuracy of figure. The 8" Dob is desireable since it has a solid tube and will require...
Thank you Craig. It is very hard to stay on schedule this time of year. We would have actually been early with these units if it was not for several days of...
For those folks who will be receiving SV binoculars in the near future, I [and many, I am sure] would appreciate an in-depth review of these units here, too! ...
For those interested, the 22 inch dob that Tom makes is available at equatorialplatforms dot com. Once on the home page, add to the subject line forwardslash...
Vic: Thanks so much for clarifing some of the points I'm considering - especially the set-up/take down time and your suggestions for mirror manufacturers....

Another fine moon image John. Have you run this through the wavelets processing routine of registax? You may be able to get a little more detail out of it...
Hi folks, The weather has been terrible for imaging the last 2weeks but just maybe things will change for the new moon period coming up. Darren had suggested...
The new binos arrived this afternoon and yes, i'm on a first name basis with the UPS driver. Guess what? The sky is clear tonight so out they went on a Bogen ...
That is great to hear, George. Vic says mine are on the way. I am looking forward to viewing such things as the Pleiades, the Beehive, Orion and such. I think...
Hi All I reshot this one last night with longer guided exposures. I have two versions on my website. 1/2 size and fullsize. Here is the shooting data Scope:...
Good show! I suggest joining the bino-astro group, as those guys are full of unique tips on observing 9and mounting) with larger binoculars. I've had my 20 x...
This is really stunning, and shows what the D70 can do. John, you are one of the few that selects camera NR; any particular reason versus doing dark frames...
George: Thanks for your post. This is the first bino post but more will follow as we have sold most of the first run already and most have gone out. All the...
Hi Jon, I will suggest Omicron 2 of Eridanus showing the red and white dwarfs. It is a target that I frequently go to with my SV105. The red dwarf is mag 11...
Thats a great idea George. I shot this last year with the SV78 in Ha but never could add color the way I wanted to. Should be no problem with the SV80. And...

Hi Bill, Just my two cents worth and it's a personal preference thing, I'm using the new Pelican 1510 airline case for my Nighthawk. Plenty of room - holds...
... what kind of scope are you using ? for example for an AT1010 you can go on focus only with a 2" tube or a diagonal. ... Yes ! or a positive lense like a...
Hi, I tried using the diagonal too...Im using the sv105 If I use the barlow ..what attachment do I need to put the 2"nosepiece and the barlow together? Thanks!...
Hi Bill, I bought the padded, foam-lined case when I bought my 'Hawk about 15 months ago. It is quite sturdy (just like everything else with SV on it ;-). I...
Thanks you very much for your comments Barry. I will try to answer you first question the best i can. I have only begun to use the in-camera noise reduction on...
