Lone Survivor....

Posted By Alan Friedman
What a sad story - this survivor is excellent. Hope you find a way to recover the lost data.

HI Luca -

I'm looking forward to seeing what your set-up and skills will show when the sun gets active again. These images are fabulous.

Hi Paul -

You've captured excellent detail here! I usually have to worry about my laptop monitor freezing when I image the planets - this must be another experience altogether.

stay cool -

Porter garden telescope reborn--pricey?

Posted By Alan Friedman
Certainly pricey for reproduction. A recent auction sale was covered in this S&T news article:

We have one in the collection of the Buffalo Museum of Science - it's a wonderful historical piece.

Ptolemaeus and Catena Davy

HI Mike -

Very nice! I hope we have some glimpses of good seeing soon - I'm getting weary wrestling with the stuff I've recorded over the last several months!

cheers-

Recommend large FOV refractor

Posted By Alan Friedman
I know that 450mm focal length comes up short - a larger chip camera would be a better choice than a smaller telescope, I think.

New toy

Posted By Alan Friedman
You and I had the same thought - I've just begun working with the 41AF02 camera for lunar images. Best of luck with your new toy!
