Greetings, One of the links in the lunar section was incorrect. Here's a revised version of the calendar. Dave July Calendar by Dave Mitsky All times, unless...
Hi - it sounds to me like you saw an Irridium Satellite. These can get as bright as -8 magnitude for a few seconds. I saw one last night - Friday, July 3 - at...
Take a look at the Sun today if you get a chance (with the proper filter!) There's a nice suspot group, the first good group of spots in months. Also a...
... I went out to look, and the active region (H alpha view) around those spots was the most easily visible of any that I (a relative newcomer to H alpha...

Hi Group, I know for many of you this is no big deal. But for those of you who live in the Midwest with our 4.5 RMS arc-second seeing, this is quite an...
Dennis, I enjoyed your web page. You have some real high end astro gear there. Has you done any imaging of planets? That's my next goal, but I think a good...
Hi Bob, Thanks for checking out my web page. I have done a lot of planetary imaging but I've become disappointed because I can't do nearly as well as folks who...
Dennis, My goal is to photograph the planets as I see them at about 200X. There are plenty of professional looking astro photos but I rarely see any that look...
Hi Jim, ... Yes, unless there is an error in the date/time posted. The original poster thinks this is an impact, a la SL-9, but that would be pretty ...
... The consensus on the ALPO Jupiter Group seems to be that this is in fact an impact. More images are coming in from around the world. It's great that we...

Aye George, Are you talking about the Solar Eclipse, if so I am reposting this from another Group called Talking Telescopes Mike White Long Beach, CA....
... Unfortunately, Hiroshima is nowhere near the path of totality, so all that will be available on that site is a partial eclipse. Weather prospects for this...
Has anyone observed a dark feature near the south limb (estimated 50-60 south latitude). I'd estimate about -150 longitude. It was clearly seen in the south...
Wow I just now posted an independent observation of this spot! Well this answers my question! I saw it very clearly in my AR-5 and somewhat less clearly with a...
Oh, just for completeness - I suspected another dark feature in the north equatorial belt (the dark one) - I assumed it was just a cloud swirl but something...
