Hi Folks,
So I picked up a used I3 - pretty amazing. From the city, m13, m15, double look like they do 1 hour's drive away. HAvent been able to test out on edge-on gal which it is suppose to be good on too - any suggestions for this time of year?
HAs anyone ever used the ep with an objective lens as a "mini telescope"? Bill Collins sells 50mm/f1.3 objectives to use in just sucha manner, but low power. You can get an adaptor to fit camera lenses - is this crazy? Camera lenses I noticed have a lot more glass. How would NONPHOTOGRAPHIC astronomical images via camera lenses look I wonder through sucha configuration?
Also, I suggested to Herb to start an I3 forum. He said he'd consider if there was enough demand.
