Hi there, Not to be a downer but isn't that event happening at 7:30 AM? I'm not so sure this will be visible in daylight. I would think the time definitely...
Could they make the observation page any less obvious? Geezzz... Well here is the link to it: http://lcross.arc.nasa.gov/observation.htm ______ Howie (Residing...
It definately favors PST but the moon will still be fairly elevated and it will be in the West (opposite the Sun). That is a plus. I would think that the plume...
The moon is bright enough to catch with a security camera or the cheapest electronic eyepieces, I'm sure even in daylight, so long as it's not 'new'. George...

Hey Folks, On Sunday night into Monday morning, I managed to take this photo of the Western part of the Veil Nebula (NGC 6960 or Caldwell 34). I used a...
Dave, Great shot! Keep up the good work. If you join AOS (not trying to take you away from Custer) I will be able to put your photos in the running for the...
Hey folks, I went at my photo of NGC 6960 again when I realized(Like a Monday night Quarterback) that the Witch's Broom Nebula is within a larger nebula...
Is anyone from the Southold area going to ALCON on Saturday, Aug. 8th? One of the speakers needs a lift to Hofstra. Thanks! Donna Is anyone from the Southold...
Hey Folks, I went out to Custer last night and boy was it worth it. I managed to get some more data from the Witch's Broom Nebula and combine it with my old...
Nice David! Did it clear up after I left? Steve ... From: hgicbarnett To: custerobservers@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 3:39 PM Subject:...
Dark sky maps still show montauk points to be solidly in the Bortle 4 range. Momtauk Observatory is out there, and the state park itself looks as if there...
The last I heard, Montauk Observatory has not worked out any procedures with the Park System to allow access for casual observing. The only observing allowed...
Thanks Rich and Steve. It did clear up around 2:30 A.M. It should be nice tonight so I might go out by me and image the Eastern half of the Veil Nebula NGC...
Hey there again, On the same morning I shot NGC6992, I slew over to Sadr, aka Gamma Cyg, and took a few frames in Ha light at 6 min each. This is what I...
Hey Folks, So here it is as promised. I went out on Tues night and scored this photo of NGC 6992. It was taken with a 2 in Apo Refractor at f 6 in Ha. 6 min...
Hi Joe, I think I answered you last time. Montauk Observatory is currently on the grounds of Theodore Roosevelt Park in Montauk. There is no observatory...
Hey everyone, 1) Thanks Howie 2) Since Sat seemed to be the only good night to take pictures for some time, I went out to my favorite local spot and took this...
Dave, You did get some of the outer nebulosity! I like Rob Gendler's picture of M27, where he gets alot of the outer nebulosity in HA! Steve ... From:...
Oh yeah, you got WAY OUT in the outer detail. Amazing. Maybe do some more exposure time and add it to the layers. Go for the Hubble look :-). ______ Howie...
Hey Dave, I adjusted your image and made a Negative of it. If you notice, there is a whole bunch of Nebulosity way out in the outer shell. COOL... Follow the...
Hey Howie, Thanks and that is really cool. I know I got a bit of the outer nubulosity but I think with more time I could have gotten some more. An "Artisit"...
