Carol: Several very nice lunar images. My seeing has been disgusting for about 2 weeks now, glad to see that at least someone is getting some good views. ...

David, Great image, don't worry I am sure the people in this group never tire of looking at the Moon! Rob ... Hi Folks, After this one, I'll desist. I'm sure...
For quite some time I've been using the Televue 8-24mm zoom in my Meade LX10 for lunar viewing. What I've read indicates that orthos provide better contrast in...

Hi Art, UO orthos are my favorites for the moon and planets. They give great performance at budget prices. For wider fields, I'll go with other eyepieces. And...
I should add, if you need glasses, the small eye relief can be a problem. I have a friend who loves Radians for that reason. But we both agree that for light...

Hi Art, I'll toss in one more comment about those UO ortho's. I recently picked up a Pentax 7mm ortho and compared it to my UO 7mm. I was just amazed at how...
... I started with the 6 and 9 mm UO orthos, and have since bought the 4, 7, and 12mm sizes. I find they're great for lunar, planetary and double-star...
Hi Michael, Orthoscopic eyepieces are great eyepieces, though I think most will agree they are ideally suited to longer focal lengths. For instance, my f/15...
I have recently started to use a binoviewer and like the TV plossls. They are plenty sharp with good contrast and the eye relief is a good match for using two...
Dear all, The weather was cloudy again in Hong Kong and I have time to process the images taken on May 26, 2004. I mainly focused my toucam on area near...
