Thanks for the nice comments, I'm psyched! David E, I talked to Russ and his buddy at the show about those image enhancers. BTW, there was an NHNG in stardust...
Hi All, What's the fov of the 15mm wide field pair that Vic sells with the binoviewers? 62, or more? Any guess? I can look up my fov on the TV EP page. I had...
Phil, count me in, Margaret and Henry too. Gordon, I hope you can make it. If you are passing though Western Colorado via I-70 let me know, we could meet up...
... Tom, I think the SV 15FMC's are 65 or 68º AFOV. When I get home I'll try to measure the field stop so we can get a more accurate true field of view ...
Thank you all for the warm welcome. I joined the group because after monitoring the forum for a while it seemed that everyone was friendly and upbeat. It...
Gordon, Yup, that's a big one! I would say you will not make it with that all the way up to the top of the Ridge, there's a couple of dips and a steep climb...
Phil and Gordon, Another alternative if he can't make it as far as the cul-de-sac or the lower imaging field would be to park the trailer at the State Park ...

It just sounds like a poorly planned and executed star party. 5 50mm scopes? Oh boy hold me back! I'm sure they aren't trying to turn people away from...
Skip the part about the NHNG in long mode. I'm testing in daytime and only have another 1/4" of in travel to go and it won't be enough to get to the moon or...
Hi Dwain, I had a look at the Orion scope and it is definately just a small starter scope no doubt probably donated to the school. I'm sure someone meant...
