Breeden Observation Report - Oct. 31, 2004 – St. Jacob Park Sunday afternoon, October 31, 2004 provided a short break from the seemingly endless clouds that...
Thanks for the report, Bill. I had planned to attend the maiden voyage of the PST in St. Jacob but too many things just "got in the way". Except for a brief...
The St. Louis Clear Sky Clock is currently predicting an unusually favorable sky tonight. Time to dust off the optics (if you can remember where you put them)...
Breeden Observation Report - Nov. 6-7, 2004 – Meramec State Park Saturday night, November 6, 2004 was clear skies, and the Moon was just past it's Last...
Very nice report. Too bad you have to go so far away to get good dark skies. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?...
Glad you enjoyed my report. I like to write them right away while the memory is fresh. I also look at my star chart while writing to help remind me of what I...
Another excellent report, Bill. I'm glad the weather cooperated for a change. I set up at 5 A.M. on the patio to get a good look at the planets but had the...
Bill, I live in Peoria, Il. I usually observe at home whre I deal with LP. I live close to downtown. But, I also belong to the Peoria Astronomical Society. We...
William, I rather enjoyed your observation session report. Well written, nicely spaced, typed and the story told it all. Very good indeed. I even felt the...
Joe, I went out a few times but my own "orange muck" from the metro east skyglow to my north prevented me from seeing the display. Members of the River Bend...
I've just uploaded several photos of last night's light show taken by "loneastronomer" Mark Brown. Go to the PHOTOS section and open the AURORA folder. Thanks,...
Fellow Astronomers... I would like to share with you all my experience of the Occultation: I had planned my time at the Adler Planetarium for this event, and...
On Saturday morning I decided to mulch and rake leaves in my yard. It is 1.5 acres so it took most of the day. By the afternoon, about when I thought of...
Similar chores haven't affected my eyes but have cursed me with a totally disgusting post-nasal drip. The coughing and hacking for the past week has left me...
I received my 14mm pentax and 2.5x powermate some time ago and have set it up down past Salem MO. off highway 19. I can't believe how many star that you can...
Glad you're pleased with your toys, Bob. I've never used a Powermate but from what I hear they can't be beat. Hopefully I'll get a chance to take yours for a...
Yes ! Rip, That is a GREAT EP set, I got this set when Meade had that $99 deal on the set when I got my LXD55,anybody that can get this set will NOT be...
It is with sadness that I have to inform the amateur astronomical community that Alfred L. Woods, a long time St. Louis Astronomical Society member and well...
Please excuse my ignorance on this matter, I have just started to get into this. I was wondering how these under telescopes priced under $300.00 dollars could...
... I've never used any of the ETX series scopes so I won't elaborate one way or the other. Hopefully someone who has will jump in and offer some advice. In...
Dave, No it's not GPS. The way they sell this for $300 is by putting about $275 into the computer and the remaining $25 into optics. A 70mm scope is really...
Thanks for the replies. I guess to get a entry gps we are talking $2000? I think a computers help would be good for me! Are there any meetings in the spring...
Hi -- Regarding the Meade ETX Autostar-- They are not GPS. You will have to do a 2-star alignment, and you will have to calibrate the instrument and train the...
Hey Dave: I go to Francis Park regularly (in St Louis Hills near Ted Drewes) to observe. If you'd like to try out my LX90 Autostar, I can show you how it...
