Hans,

Please ignore the statement. A request was made for an editorial change which was apparently not in time. The original text was submitted much earlier during the year.

My apologies to Rolando for any confusion.

Anthony.

Widefield imaging has its own magic.

Awesome result.

RoboFocus & 10:1 Tak Focuser

Posted By Anthony Ayiomamitis

David,

Remove the 10:1 microfocuser and sell it ... and follow-up with the RoboFocus as stand-alone.

Last week I received a RoboFocus system for my Tak FSQ and I will be doing the same (removing and selling the 10:1 microfocuser).

Hi Tom,

You've got the Midas touch for the vdB reflection nebulae. Another winner to add to the list.

I also like your dual scope approach (a la Rob Gendler). It is something which has crossed my mind as well and is a great means to getting many hours of data over a single evening.

Keep'em coming.

Anthony.

TMB 92mm vs Stowaway F5

Posted By Anthony Ayiomamitis

Roger,

A listing today specifies such as an item (Stowaway at f5) for sale .... but no price stated so you will have to send an email to the seller.

Good luck.

Greg,

That is a very sweet result. The 3.25 hrs of total exposure time is peanuts for such a quality result!

Is anyone going after HD80606B's transit Febuary 14?
Weather permitting, YES!

I was also invited to participate in the transit from mid-November but the weather did not work in anyone's favour (from the UK all the way to India).

Greg,

This is a stunning piece of work. You guys down under have Orion at the zenith ... and I am jealous!

His "generosity" is disgusting. He wants to help someone out who is having financial difficulties etc during these tough times ... yeah right, by ripping him off ("deal of the century").
