Welcome Charlie! Really glad to have you. I'm looking toward the TSP myself. It'd be great to meet up with any members who make it down that way. Your's and ...
The Horizons text by Mr.Seeds is a great book. We use the same in the course I'm taking. Most of my meager knowledge was gained on my own from other books I ...
Well, until a neighbor two streets over from me decided to put a sodium light on a telephone pole in his back yard, I would've said my front yard. Still not ...
First DSO was M42 many years ago. Just took the moniker since I like to try and hunt down the faint little galaxy in Perseus from time to time. Besides, all ...
Just joined the group and wanted to say Hi!<br>I live in Trophy Club TX, a suburb of Dallas (Lat 32 59'54" N, Long -97.183 W). As such I unfortunately have ...
In my opinion. Of all the SCT manufactures, Celestron has the best mechanics (Tripods, arrangements, fits of telescope to wedge etc.) and the best computers....
Thank you. I will look at that site. Are these model letters specific to Meade telescopes only? Why use Meade? Are they the best (or most popular) for amateur...
I expect to hear from all of you with your nominations for the best public observing sites in Texas. Here are three of my favorites.<br>1. Red Tent Campground...
Go to WWW.Meade.com for a list of Meade products (and a darn good picture). You will notice that the smaller 'scopes are in the ETX lines. Two letter ...
I believe that the Austin Astronomical Society has a monthly get together there, around the end of each month. Met a guy at Austin Astronomy And Science the...
Has anyone ever been to Canyon of the Eagles? If so, what were your impressions. From the web site it looks like a nice for an astronomy vacation. <a...
Has anybody been able to get any quality eyepiece time lately?? Where I'm at, the only time that it has been decent, is when the moon is full, which pretty ...
Could'nt really tell you A,,,All of the Meade Schmidt Cassegrains have the LX prefix, ETX for the smaller scopes, ED for the refractors etc. My guess, unless...
I know nutzzing! about telescopes, but there seems to be a common prefix in the model names that you folks have been mentioning. What does LX stand for and ...
Glad to have you quarkcsj! Recognize you from some of the other clubs, and your expertise will be welcome here! Thank's for joining up!<br><br>NGC1272...
Well I signed up. I belong to a couple of other club pages; The Amarillo Astronomy Club, and the MeadeLX200, and some others. I started one on the MeadeLXD500 ...
You are welcome to add items at any time to the above, so feel free to put anything up you think folk's would be interested in. Thank's!!<br><br>NGC1272...
I want to thank all of you again for joining up. I was'nt sure this would fly, but so far we seem to have a great core group of folk's. A little boring bit ...
Hi traveler! Glad to have you with us. You'll find that the more you get out with your scope, the more you'll enjoy being out on a clear night. I was at New...
I recently bought a Meade LX90. It's an awsome scope, although I don't have much to compare it with. Having a great time exploring my new hobby. I'm looking...
I'm in central Texas, just outside of Temple. Far enough away from town to have pretty decent skies. (When the weather cooperates!) I have an 8" LX200, and my ...
Glad to have you join up! I'm hoping to get a good club going for folk's in Texas. Other than one regional club, I have'nt seen any others for the state. I'm...
I have an LX200 10" and a Nextstar 5. I observe from the Texas Panhandle and Idaho (where I go often). I have been observing since the 1960s or so. Clear...
Thank's for joining up bowman_z! I got your message, and by all means invite anyone you think might be interested. I have'nt had just a lot of time to spend...
