Hi everyone, My name is Steve Vanderhoeven, I live on the edge of the Cotswolds near Burford in the UK. I've been interested in astronomy for about 12 years...
Not sure of the version, Mike, but you have to play with the settings a bit. If you're not on the latest (or second latest - 2.2 ER?) version of the Autostar...
Rick, Like I said, I know the people who manufacture them personally. It is a very dark Mylar (unless they've made a change to their production line in the...
Kevin, If you want to see prominences, I've heard that Daystar is the only way to go safely, but I certainly can be wrong. I do however feel there is a reason...
Dr. Clay, As much as I respect your opinions and your expertise on the field of astronomy, I can say that myself and several unnamed others (conversing ...

Wayne, I'm sorry to see you go but I fully understand. I hope you can stay around and contribute as a normal subscriber. I've had my share of family and ...
Les, So what you're saying is that the SAC 7 will require a relay box in addition to the APM #909? Um, that tends to make lean towards the 201XT for guiding. ...
Factually speaking, Cygnus X-1, as computed from the derived luminosity, according to Burnham, is approximately 2.0-2.5 kiloparsecs, or 6,500-8,000 light years...
