Hi All, I have a question for you all that no one seems to be able to answer.. Many times we all have done it,, looked at the Sun at sun set or sun rise. ...
Hi Joe I would do more testing... Find a day before sunset when you look at the sun and it is dim. Then look at Jupiter or the Moon and see if it looks dim...
... That probably would have to be through a scope i would think to be able to get enough light to read the moon or jupiter. ... This may be a reason,, but...
Hi Joe ... You can see the Moon without a scope and have seen Jupiter with binos. I think the Moon would be the best bet. It looks like a nice night to view....

Joe, Mike, and All: Did a google search on atmospheric extinction. The link below has a table of magnitudes of extinction vs. zenith magnitude. Itsays the Sun...
Hi Bob,, And Glad you found that,, so back to the original question,, if the sun is dimmed by 11 magnitudes,, how come i can watch the lagoon nebula set on...

Lots of great information. Thanks for looking up this information. Steve ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?...
This is too funny,, I must have awesome eyes,, and i thought I was getting old eyes. since I can see a 17th magnitude object with my naked eyes.. Cool huh?...
Joe - I apologize for thinking that you meant you saw the Lagoon through a scope. I went back and reread your original post from Thursday, and it clearly says...

No apology needed, ... dependsmon exact location. some is say 10 deg above "True' horizon,, because of a tree Hill etc. But at this one location it is as...
