Has anyone tried to take a photo by putting a camera up to the eyepiece and taking a photo of a planet? I did with Jupiter. With a cheap 2 meg camera a few...

Dennis, As I was posting solar eclipse graphics for next next few years on my site, (under: Solar Observations), I noticed that TWO will be right over your...
Bob, I do it all the time with just holding the digital camera steady and snapping away at the target, usually the moon. I am surprised of the quality of many...
Joe, I read your eclipse post on your site: "Looks like two good total eclipses are coming our way in 2017 & 2045..and right over Dennis's head in St.Louis! We...
Thanks for the compliment, Rod. There are a few of us planning on attending the Eagles Park star party in October (8th & 9th). If you're in the area by then it...
I have just put my order in for Meades new Deep Sky Imager,to use with my 12" scope,can not wait to try it out ,have to wait till end of Sept, or early Oct,...
... I think I read somewhere (man, that's really nailing it down) that Meade won't be shipping the new imager for a few weeks. Did they give you a date?...
no Dennis they did not, I checked out all the seven sites that I guess that Meade is letting sell the imager and they all just said late Sep. or early Oct. one...
Kendrick didn't have the 14mm in stock which I ordered. They told me it it would be in in a week but it didn't make it. He's going to call Pentax Tue. If It...
The 10mm with the Powermate would give you 312x which is well within the capabilities of the Hardin but atmospherics won't let you use it very often. The 14mm...
"There's a Bad Moon Risin". Hurricanes are blowin. You probably can't use 300 power for quite some time anyway. Heck, that was Canadians that made that song...
If it is too long i'll buy it from somewere else.I'll still get the powermate from them and save $10.00 there. I hope everyone can make down to Eagles Park in...
Don't every think that you are butting in. Everyones is welcome here as far I know. By the time I get the eyepieces Frances will long be gone,I hope. But I...
I snuck a peek at Saturn and Venus last night. It was a cat and mouse game with the clouds that eventually had me laughing. Things would just about clear up...

This spring I bought a 5" mak and used it this morning for a first look at Orion. It had a very faint green tint to it and I realized that the last time I saw...
I've witnessed the Orion Nebula in living color twice with the 18" on nights of excellent transparency. The red and aquamarine hues were "in my face" - not as...
... Yes, the views can be awsome. Truth be told, though, I've probably seen more through my 4" just because it gets used much more often. One thing for sure,...
Greetings! I went out last night (Wed.) for a little city-stargazing from Frances Park. What a beautiful evening. Gazed from sunset until 10pm. I decided to...
I did some Astroscanning at about 4:00 am on. About like a big one eyed binocular. Great low power night. Had a small refractor out there too but planets were...
I've been viewing Andromeda The last three nights. By the way welcom to the forum. Unless you have large scope you can see only the core. I looked through my...
... Yeah, that's one of the problems with Yahoo! forums. You can delete it and re-post, but then it loses its place in the thread. I've looked at some other...
