I observed this comet at 10:00 last night from the observatory in Greenville with my 12.5" I didn't have time to sketch or measure or anything like that. This ...
I tried to find it last night from my patio but had too many obstructions to the south. I'll grab the binos and head south of town tonight and give it a more...
Greetings: I will be setting up a telescope tonight (Friday Dec. 3) at Francis Park. Anyone interested in joining me, please feel free to bring observing gear....
Fellow Astronomers, I am quite reved up about seeking this comet out from the washed out skies of Chicago after reading your account here on spotting the ...
I didn't get out to my "near-dark sky" site last night but did drag the binos to a neighbors' yard (they're used to seeing me there - besides, they don't have...
... drag ... would ... 15x ... should ... I was a failure. Orion is about as far south as I can see anything in that direction but I tried for a couple hours...
I tried last nite for about 1 1/2 hoursa to find the comet. No luck. the light dome from downtown was too bright at my house. I think I'm going to go out...
It's listed at around mag 6 right now but because the coma appears rather large, it appears to me more like a diffuse nebula with a lower than expected surface...
I don't have one, however, I've heard many good reports. It appears to be in the same family as the narrowband Lumicon UHC and OIII filters I have and they can...
... Yes I did, Harry, although I have not had the opportunity to try them out yet. I'll be adding an Orion Shorty Barlow to it and that should be a good kit...
Hey,my DSI has finally arrived. I was determined to try and get the best image I could, and I could not afford a $400 wedge, so while I was waiting patently...

Welcome to the group, Chris. I have an 18" Torus/Prospec mirror I am elated with but I don't believe they make mirrors less than 12.5". You might contact them...
Tasco illuminated red dot rifle scope for a finder. It works pretty good in the daytime and if it clears up in the next couple months I will try it at night. ...
... Looks good - I know others have use a similar setup for years. It cleared up last night so I grabbed to 10 x 50 binos and had the comet in less than 15...
Saw the comet last night. It is in the most light polluted section of sky I have from here but it is visible. Looks like a very big nebula. No tail and no core...
Did anyone see any meteors last night. I bagged a big goose-egg since I couldn't convince my freezing bones to spend more than a few minutes outside. A...
I ran out for a minute to look at the comet with binoculars. Too cold for me this early in the season. By mid January my tolerance will be higher. The comet...
... I went outside for about 5 minutes around 1 AM. I observed about 10 or 12 meteors. The ones I saw came from many directions. I didn't see any that appeared...
I have added 3 pictures of The Aurora Borealis to skylooker's pics. I shot them last November. I recorded the exact date, exposure times, etc. on a small piece...
Wonderful shots, Dave. The north view shot with the crimson streaks really impressed me. Hope you don't mind - I put it on the home page. Just got in from...
