I had a group out to watch the ISS one time and nothing happened. Since then I pay very close attention to listed times when they have that little AM and PM...
The Canon is 10x30 IS. I don't believe you can handhold any binocular and do better than this. My Celestron 11x80 is better for the night sky if tripod mounted...
... They are that good, huh? I've always wanted to try one to see if they were all that they were cracked up to be. Maybe I better not try unless I'm prepared...

While perusing a "sister" site located in Chicago,... (Chicago Astronomer hosted by Joseph Guzman): http://astronomer.proboards23.com/index.cgi ...I was...
Dennis, One would think that there would be anti-fire provisions around these observatories. Sprinkler systems are cheap insurance against this. I hope the...
Joe, I read they have quite a bit of the grounds around the observatory already cleared and don't expect to have a problem except for the smoke and ash. Just...
I use Pro and like it. I've had no experience with Enthusiast but I would expect it is a trimmed down version of Pro. Have you tried any of the free packages?...
Just an addendum. There is a sprinkler system around this observatory, but, as Rip noted, it is the smoke and ash, as well as intense heat, that has everyone...
We now have a logo. Not beautiful, not fancy, but nice...and it's all ours! A copy has been placed in the PHOTOS section (JPG format). Feel free to download...
Dennis, I have posted the Gag logo on my forum, and it looks pretty cool. On the next version...I would brighten up the star field a bit, and maybe add a...

Yeah, the star field sorta disappears after shrinking the image down to "click-on" size. Joe has a couple good ideas. If any of you would like to apply your ...
I'm very very new to astronomy and I'm trying to help out my curious 6 year old who had been dying for a telescope for some time now. We have been lucky...
Susan, There are 3 eyepieces barrel sizes: .965", 1.25" & 2" Of all these sizes, 1.25" is by far the most popular. I checked out a few websites that sell the...
This Friday, July 16th, River Bend Astronomy Club president Gary Kronk will address the St. Louis Astronomical Society. The topic: COMET WATCH Amateur...
around in Northeast skies the other night I ran across what I thought might be a double. I added some magnification with the zoom eyepiece and it turned into a...
Hi Harry, It sounds like you found something interesting. Can you be a little more specific as to the location? Time? Constellation? Was it possible you were...
It was a couple weeks ago and I am pretty much lost in the night sky but I think it was east of Casseopia and a little higher in the sky. I don't think it was...
I'll check my astro program when i get home tonight to see if anything shows up. I'll let you know. Have you seen Alberio? It's one of my favorites - it...
