Speaking of observing... I just got back in from about an hour long session with the Nighthawk/Telepod combo using only one EP - the LV 8-24 Zoom. I hit the...
" I have a PC in my observatory that I use for TheSky6 Pro." Hi Jim, and I will end up running XP along side Lepoard in the near future. I kept my PC set up in...
I have been giving names to my scopes for years. The first scope I named was a 16" dob I made back in the early eighties. I called the scope the "Incredible...
Hi Scott, You bring back good memories of things discussed in the past. I agree this is such a good resource. I enjoy going to this site everyday and reading...
I've been running Boot Camp for a while since I got my Macbook Pro 2 yrs ago. No problems with any of the Windows programs that I've tried on it. Though, I...
Dwain, I've been using it with my DM6 the last year or so. It is light and easy to setup. I bought mine used with a Lapides spreader so I have no experience...
Hello Folks; Can the DM 4 be mounted on a SV Heavy Duty Surveyor's Tripod? Using a NHNG, will I be able to aim towards zenith? Thanks in advance, Allen...
Went to see Lewis and his damaged NH. I am sure most of us have heard the comment. I look worse than I feel. Well that fits Lewis's NH to a "T". It looked bad...
Hi Vincent, So tell me, how do you like your DM-6, what's your setup. I contacted discmounts last week re the DM-6 for my SV90T and was told unless I was...
Mary, Guys give names to almost every thing possible. And yes, I'm crazy like David. Have 3 scopes and all of them have names: 'Cloud bringer' is my 8" SCT,...
... Dwain, I have always overmounted my telescopes and I've never had problems. I did not follow my own advice with my grab and go scope though. I'm using a...
... Dwain, why don't you download Carte du Ciel and give it a try? It's actually pretty good for free software. It isn't as pretty as Starry Night or The Sky,...
I actually like a bit more focal length in a scope this size. Not all of us require a scope short enough for airline travel..... Hey... just how many do?...
If I give a name to a scope, it is always astronomy related ... like Seeker, Carbon Star, Annie (as in Annie Jump), etc. There are a couple of exceptions....
Nice recollections and great points Scott. This is a particularly enthusiastic and friendly astronomy forum. I have good memories about the Stellarvue scopes...
Didn't catch this entire thread so this may be slightly OT, but FWIW, Microprojects, at http://www.microprojects.ca/, produces an Astronomy package called...
Good question Michelle, I don't do air travel with my scopes, but there are a few reasons for a shorter scope (less than 35" focal length) for me. I'm older...
Good point John. I like Equinox quite a bit and it also has an interface so it can be used in conjunction with Astroplanner. Astroplanner is a pretty powerful...
Thanks Len. Great group of folks here. Scott ... agree this is such a good resource. I enjoy going to this site everyday and reading what is happening with...
Thanks Scott. Lots of folks who have been here a while might consider doing what I did. It will bring a smile to their faces - I promise. Scott Beith Gulfport,...
Hello Group, Can someone suggest the easiest way to mount the F50 finderscope to a meade 8" LX200gps. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Tony...
Sounds great! BTW, one of the first things I did was get a wireless laser type mouse to go with my iMac. My big paws just couldn't get used to the tiny track...
Hi all, It being the weekend, I thought I'd post this question here and if y'all don't know then I will call on Monday. There are two "sets" of rings for an...
