Hi Ivan, That is a very beautiful shot of the Iris, congrats !! It looks like the 350D is a good performer and off course your TMB too, but that we did know ...
Thanks, Karel! My sky is not as dark as you would think. But there are moderately dark places (LVM <7, or M33 is naked eye), but a little bit hard to find one,...
I haven't been posting many of my observations on this group recently, but this one was too good to let pass! In early October, before the Moon again became a...
hi Rodger, You`re absolutels right! TMB Apos are wonderful deepskymachines! not only photografically but visually. I have observed some minor planetary...

... That's excellent! Isn't it satisfying to turn a "tiny" eye to the sky and see challenging objects such as Pal 12? ... Are you aware of anyone using a...
Hi all, I'm new to the group but have been active in amateur astronomy for most of my life and in imaging for the last several years. OK, that's my intro... on...
The objective are made to his specs by an optical house overseas, that is all anybody knows. It is a brand new 4" rack and pinion focuser that has never been...

Ben, There was a discussion on the SBIG group last week and talking about reducers/flatteners for the STL11k cameras. Borg use to make a 1.04 FF that would be...
Greetings All, I had a nice chat with Werner of Starlight Instruments about marketing a dual speed upgrade for the classic CNC series. He doesn't think there...
Tim, You already know I would be interested in this upgrade. Did you ask him if the "look" could be kept in line with the present focuser knobs? Harvey...
I am not sure what the chip size is on the SXV-H9, but if it is smaller than the ST-10 the 15mm spacer on the TV .8x should work. Here is a link where I got...
... WG: Dietmar, have to mention that the local clubs 24" Ritchey-C didn't show that much detail--- WITH an OIII filter! And it was one of their best...
I forgot to ask on the previous post....what is the current "state of the state" on a good non-reducing field flattener for the TMB 152? Is there a certain...
Hello group, I have noticed something going on with my images that I am having a hard time figuring out. I see some noticeable offset red-fringing going on...
They are not made by LOMO or LZOS. Final inspection is done in house here since Tom's health is preventing him from doing so. We have over 150 years combined...
... WG: All I can tell you Dan is that the objectives are coming out of Japan, not LZOS or LOMO, and that a qualified person at Astronomics will inspect and/...
... I doubt Stellarvue has ever had an exclusive on Lomo or LZOS lenses. Vic used to buy objectives for his premium scopes through TMB. That deal fell apart...

... Hi Wade, I looked at the images from your earlier post and it looks like the R channel is a bit soft - i.e. out of focus; pretty much as you suspect. I've...
... WG: Guys, it HAS to be in the filter (or detector): the star images are superb in the photos other than a very slight red fringe--- what could affect...
Hi Tim, Thanks for your ideas on this, as I've been pretty stumped by it. Since the camera is a one-shot color camera, I guess the 64K question is how can the...
Hi Danny the signature lenses are not LOMO and not LZOS and SV does not have such exclusive as he say, we continue to buy and sell the lOMO all over the world...
Hi Karel, ... This is the reason what I described, see this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/66572654@N00/ Those are my own images, this guy stole them. Ivan...
... That is the question. One reason I shied away from a one shot color CCD is after getting every optic in the system near perfect the final filters are of...
Hi Wayne, That makes sense, especially since I see varying degrees of this effect depending on what filter is used. What worries me about this is what if it...
