Salam Salman, You are right about the lack of activity in the list. It correlates to the activities we have on ground in Lahore! We now have a fully...
Has anyone ever observed sun through an H-Alpha telescope? I have never! I was reviewing the following product from Coronado and was wondering whether the...
prominences are absolutely fine in the view..and over time they do seem to move for sure. I dont own one but i have seen through cornado few times with the...
Assalam-u-Alaikum, *Brief*: ===== We the *amastropak* members alongwith *PAAS* members(not to be confused with PAS) gathered today (1st Aug 2008)at the PIA...
I am wide awake, but not so much from astronomical perspective. Work is keeping me very busy these days. And as umair mentioned, we have another yahoo group fo...
Omer, The Coronado is amazing!!! Bought it when the dollar was still cheap and am picking it up from New Jersey come November. I've played with it in London...
Hassaan. Cool. Which model do you have with you? Omer _____ From: astronomy-atLAST@yahoogroups.com [mailto:astronomy-atLAST@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
Clouds permitting, can I suggest stargazers in lahore to get together and watch the perseids fly by on Aug 11th or 12th??? A manageable number are welcome to...
I am hoping that the great heavenly alignment will go in my favor - It has to the extent that my LX-90 reached Lahore airport yesterday. It is under ...

Umair, If you can see only the central bulge of M31 in your 14 incher then i think what i saw was quite OK considering my humble equipment. Though, i'm still...
Umair, Please tell me of some other galaxies which would show their whole 'structure' through my scope. Please list their Messier numbers. And if you weren't...
M31 may be more brighter and larger with my scope but i dont think that in cities one can make out any kind of detail in it. What was your equipment again? ...
Salman, the best thing is to find out your visual limiting magnitude with you optical system and get a list of objects from any online resource. If you cant do...
Umair, My scope is a 5.1 inch Newtonian on an equatorial mount (not a Dobsonian). And the scope's manual says its Limiting Stellar Magnitude is 13.1 with light...
Thank You Mr. Umair, There is also a movie of the eclipse. You will see some clouds passing in front of the eclipse projection. Hope you'll like it too. Yeah...
salman, forget what the manual says..try to visually determine your scopes limiting magnitude..since it depends on a lot of conditions and the manual cannot...
