Hey Gang, Tuesday, Aug. 31 around 9PM I ventured outside to try and find Comet C/2003 K4 (LINEAR)- near Arcturus and Lo' - a white cloud, big as the moon! (My...
There was a military launch from Kennedy. Apparently on the next orbit around, the payload separated and what you saw was light reflecting off a cloud fuel or...
Hey that's really cool! I saw the same thing and wondered what it was. Through binoculars I sure thought it looked like an unusually bright cloud, but just...
Specifically, it was a dump of liquid hydrogen fuel from the spent Centaur upper stage of the Atlas 2AS rocket that launched the NRO payload. This is a...

Perhaps you've seen him accompanying me at the East Coast Star Party. Or venturing from site to site at the Delmarva Star Gaze, or going for short walks by...
My condolences Ron. I too lost a pet during the past few months and I did not realize how much I missed her until I read your note and looked at the pictures...
Will a Hurricane stop Kent from driving up the Eastern Shore from Virginia Beach to the No-Frills Star Party? No way. I'll be there. Perhaps not as early as...
... Keith, let's set a time to get together for a half hour or so to come up with a direction to go on this idea. I'd started culling suggestions from other...
Anybody stick their head out the door last night? It was perfect here on the Lower Eastern Shore. No wind, a little dew, stable skies, and dark. I went on a...
The No Frills is a "Rain or Shine" event. I am betting Ivan's remains will greet you Sunday or Monday of next week as you are leaving T-hoe. This week is for...

Good evening all, I am looking for any feedback regarding Orion's XT10 Intelliscope. Does anyone have or has used one can give me some insight whether it is...
Rodney, Well, I've had mine for approx. 6 months. It took me a while to get it (they were backordered for a while). I have found it a pleasure to use. I have...
Same goes for here. I drove from Va. Beach to my observing site near the Outer Banks of NC. Naturally, it became mostly cloudy both Sunday and Monday by...
Oh, yes. I have one and have observed hundreds of challenging deep-sky objects since last December. It's a joy to use, and the tube assembly fits in the back...
I just got one about a month ago, it hasn't seen first light yet. I didn't get the controller (I'm not a fan of DSCs) but I did get the newer version because...
I bought an early version and was happy with it until I noticed some things about the scope and the Orion organization. First my 10" scope is acutally 9 and...
I'll have to come to Orion's defense here and say they have gone absolutely overboard to satisfy me when parts were needed for the IntelliScope. They replaced...
Steve, Well, if I could spell, it would have been warp factor. Let's say that I align on two objects, Mizar and Arcturus ( just examples). The system knows...
... absolutely ... IntelliScope. They ... through my ... FWIW, there's a review of the XT-8 Intelleiscope in Novemeber's Sky&Tel (in my mailbox today!). They...
I'd like to add, I've used many Dobsonian telescopes with DSCs in the past and have found none of the telescopes axis to be parallel to each other good enough...
