A flat wide field - Double cluster

Posted By Bob Polcyn

Hi Jose --

Beautiful image! Thanks. It's tha only image of the double cluster I've ever seen which includes a star cascade leading to/from it (lower part of your image). I've enjoyed the cascade every time I've pointed my binoculars to that part of the sky.

Focuser question

Posted By Bob Polcyn

Hi Michael --

I often opt to use a larger size than the ones used on some commercial equipment in order to increase sturdiness of the nylon. This requires drilling and tapping but it's not hard to do.

Changing Nebulae-An Animation

Posted By Bob Polcyn

Hi all --

I'm guessing that what's changing is the distribution of light as it progresses thru the nebular gas. That would mean that light output of its source is what has changed (increased) and not the nubular gas itself. Opinions?

The animation is beautiful.
