Apogee RA 88s

Posted By John Love
I love mine. M31 was a "religious experience". I "broke mine in" at the Okie-Tex starparty and the views were fantastic under really dark skies. I mounted mine on an old Meade SCT fork. This gives stable views with slow motion knobs. I am in the process of installing encoders for my Sky Wizard DSC.

The sunset last evening was pretty spectacular. This is a single frame and I also shot a panorama.

SkyView Deluxe Mount Question

I adapted a Celestron drive to my AstroView mount. It works great.

This was a sunrise on the mesa at the Okie-Tex starparty. Sunsets are spectacular out there as well.

apogee ra 88, small city skies

Posted By John Love
The "dreaded 88s" are awesome. I have used them under light polluted skies and have been amazed at what I could see.
I would like to observe comet Machholz if the sky will ever clear.
I have mine mounted on an old SCT fork mount. This gives nice "slow mo" adjustments.

What is the most important in a site?

Posted By John Love
The most important aspect of an observing site is that it is NOT HERE !

We have to drive 90 to 100 miles to escape the GLOW.
