Nicely done Bart. It's good to see someone getting some decent images in what must be the worst later winter and early spring seeing conditions I've seen in a...
Hello Tony, ... Thanks, indeed March was disastrous, and even on those days in April, the seeing wasn't really there. Let's hope for better nights ahead! Bart...

Bill-Another nice issue! It is a great idea to focus on a single feature and gather in one issue many useful images and articles. I look forward to every ...
Have to say Bart, I have never seen the rille in the Alpine Valley from my site. If you can get that with a C9.5 and in seeing that "wasn't realy there ", then...
Hi David, ... Judge for yourself: http://www.astronomie.be/bart.declercq/seeing/slides/VallisAlpes_20080415.html Not bad, but I've had considerably better. On...
Very good images Burt. I like in particular mode Plato's image. It is very detailled and the wide screen format is much good. Ciao Achille Bart Declercq...
Bart, thanks for posting that, much more informative than any words. As you say, not bad. Comparable to the best footage I have ever taken. There were a few...
Chuck, Thanks for the kind words. I must admit that I was rather pleased myself with the one feature approach of this month's TLO, but things don't always work...
Dr. Wood; I absolutely faithfully believe in 2 things, but lack proof; 1. The Moon is no accident, the densly atmosphered Mars size planet that slapped into...
Rouge - that is a romantic notion similar to beliefs various people have had, trying to find an explanation for the magic (at least in appearance) of the Moon....
Problem is: Many think there's just "sky" up above (clouds, rain, blue sky, sun, moon, stars). There's MUCH, MUCH more to talk about! Enough to fill-up 365...
Yes, here's the most recent unofficial name to one of the highest peaks in one of the lunar mountain ranges! It's the GRAN SASSO in the Montes Apenninus! ...
This is to Bob or anyone else who might have a Royce primary. I have a refiguring job in the shop right now and the customer says the mirror was from Royce....
Tony, I can't check for sure w/o taking the mirror out of the scope/mirror cell, but I do remember that it had the number marked on the back with one of those...
Thanks Bob, that actually helps a lot. There isn't any sort of serial number on this, that and the state of the surface makes me pretty sure that it's a fake....
Hi George - Thanks for posting Jim's reference chart in the LPOD Gallery - I hadn't seen it before. Fishing for Plato craterlets is certainly among the most...
It was 23.59, and the night was dark... (nights usually are) -"Does anybody know the story of the old observatory's empty dome?" (no reaction) -"Well? Isn't...
... WG: Tony, I bought a 10" Parallax Newtonian back in 2000 and Joe Nastasi ordered a Royce Primary for it. I cannot confirm or deny any of the things you...
I have no questions about Bob's reputation. That's the very reason why I question the authenticity of the mirror I'm wondering about here. Tony ... From: Wayne...
