....just wait a while. Been hearing this for years about our midwest climate. Last night was a good reminder. The early evening sky look very clear and steady....
If the sky is cooperating and your optics are good you should be able to pick them out. I've seen the "E" component (mag 10.3) come and go in my 4" refractor....
I usually take a look at the mag 9 polaris companion to get an idea for seeing conditions and it looked good last night. Seeing was better to the south though...
back in Dec, I mentioned putting a page togather for my DSI images,I have completly feworked my site at ( http://www.darrylslx.com ) if anybody is interested,...
Impressive setup, Darryl, both the website & equipment. Those are some good shots of Saturn. So far, I haven't graduated past shooting the moon (did I say...
Has anyone ever used an Orion Epic eyepiece? I am thinking of getting the 5.1 mm for my little refractor. Any other suggestions for a 5mm eyepiece? Harry...
I can personally recommend the Takahashi LE 5mm. Very sharp and contrasty with nice (10mm) eye relief & 52° AFOV. I also have the 7.5mm. I'll never part with...
I own a Orion Epic ED-2 5.1mm even with 10 inch dob its too much mag. for me. I've only been able to use it a couple of times with a good skies condition. If I...
... Thanks, Dennis. One of these days I am going to get one of those Tak eyepieces,I know the good ones make a difference but I've got to stay cheap on this...
Maby we can get toghter at an upcomming Star party. Eagles Park might have one soon. I live just south of Ballwin Mo. I don't want to ship it to you, Maby I...
... Hi, Bob. There's never going to be a star party because it is never going to stop raining this year. Do you know where the Creve Coeur camera is behind...

Yeah, I'll comment on anything. I don't personally like change but I've been told that I am old and crotchety. Actually I've been called worse than that. I...
I was wondering how good a Celestron Ultra 8.8 mm wide angle Series 400 would be.It said it has FOV of 84* I won 200 hundred at the blackjack last night and am...
Bob, For about $150 or so you can get a used Type 1 Nagler 9mm on Astromart - which is probably a better eyepiece. I love mine. Decent eye relief and not too ...
I have never used Astromart or E-Bay. I think that I will go ahead and buy the Celestron EP. It seems like a good deal and I can return it if I don't like it. ...
I made a mistake. It is a Meade eyepeice Utla wide angle series 4000. I couldn't find it for 169.95 anywhere. I can't find any 4000 series that I like. Anyway...
Bob, I don't have any personal experience with that line of Celestron eyepieces. In fact, I've never heard of Celestron 8.8 mm eyepiece of any sore. Have you...
I'm getting 8.8 mm thats on your second link in your post. I don't think that your first link was the same type of EP. I'm buying it from Oceanside Photo &...
... Yeah, non-editable posting is my main gripe. I can't take credit or blame for the changes. Yahoo! did it all on their own to all the forums. ... Eagles...
