Wade, Thanks for that explanation; I might give it a try on my 130 when I get the chance. I bought mine for the RC when ever I am financially able to get it...
hi Wade, whow! that`S an impressive setup! the 152tmb on this huge mount! the images are very nice! concwerning resolution it`s simply amazing what a 6" is...
... Hey, Talk about a benchmark image, this one is off the charts. Fantastic results. I can't wait to see the added photon collection time. I hope you have...
... I'd say the tMB 152 is in good hands. The Jupiter shot shows some very good detail, especially considering how low in the sky it was this year. The...
I know this isn't the AP forum, but given the exquisite imaging I've seen done by members of this group, I thought I'd ask my question here. I have a TMB 152...
Louis, I think the AP900 should be plenty enough. Stan Moore on the SBIG group has a RCOS 14.5 OTA mounted on his! These are so much better built than the...
Thanks Dietmar. I can't wait to see your finished MGC 7331. It's already better than anything I've ever shot. It should be a beauty! That folded tube is a...
Hi Wayne, Unfortunately, that was the only time I had for imaging Jupiter this year due to time constraints with my job. I hope to get better ones next year....
Hi Terry, Don't know where you live, but I hear you on the heat. It's been brutal down here in AR. I pretty much packed in the astro activities for the past...
Thanks Tim, I've been enjoying the group's fine images for awhile now, and I'm glad I could finally get around to getting something decent enough that I could...
hello All, we got a new update about the Super Mono eyepiece delivery this week and for those who are under hurry to get them, it does not look such good. Let...
Wade, I was born and raised in Fort Worth, but I moved to a little town called Munday about 2&1/2 years ago; it is about 80 miles north of Abilene. The skies...
Hi Terry, Yes, I'd call it not only "Big Sky Country", but also "Good Sky Country" out there. I try to get out to NM as often as I can to enjoy their great...
Call me old-fashioned, but I think I still like the first one the best, Dietmar. It just has something about it that makes it very natural-looking and...
... Hi Ivan, I meant to comment on this early - the CCD image is very good and I also think the film image is very good too. That big, wide field view in film...
... Hi Ivan, We have a little astronomy email list at work and I pointed your CCD Vs film images out as this was a recent topic. CCD Vs film is now a very hot...
... Hi Ivan, ... http://eder.csillagaszat.hu/deepsky/350D/ngc7k_comp/ngc7k_E200vs350D_en.htm ... Thanks, very nice images witht he DSLR and the film looks okay...
... Hi Louis, Somehow I missed this question... ??? anyway, I have an AP 900 and it handles the 152 easily, even CCD imaging with the STL11K and FF. A 1200...
Tim are you referring to the dec upgrade for QMD era 900s? The new go-to version, I thought, did not require this. I was also advised that if you're putting a...
The one on the mart for $7.5k (if that's the one) struck me as overpriced relative to some recent offers of the same mount in the $6 k range, particularly...
... Hi Greg, ... I just checked the AP web page about upgrades and the one I was referring to is for all mounts, QMD and GoTo before 2005. There are some...
... I haven't been following used prices, but Greg's advise seems sound. I'd also want to know if the electronics are the GoTo CP3 control box. This is an...
I'm surprised to learn the go-to generation needs the upgrade, but so be it. My 900 is heading back to the AP Spa in a few weeks. thanks for clarifying. ...
The Argo Navis TPAS has similar and powerful pointing capabilities comparable to Tpoint, and no laptop required. That's a big deal for someone who's not...
