The Sky 6 question

Posted By Richard Shreck
This sounds elementry, but i have not been able to figure this out...
How do you toggle back to the "virtual sky" view after zooming to something
not on the current screen? I have to close the program and restart to get back to the Normal mode.

constant cloud cover

Posted By Richard Shreck
Think I am going to invent a scope mount that will overcome this cloud cover problem. I think it will look something like a car lift at a filling station, but waaaaay taller...something to get you and your scope above any annoying cloud cover. Just pack your lunch, wave good-bye to the wife and press the assend button.

EQ mount for 10" DOB?

Posted By Richard Shreck
You guys are great. I really appreciate all the diverse opinions and advice that gets posted on this forum. I will be re-thinking this...amazing what the mind comes up with when the skies are cloudy for days on end and you can't get outside to observe.

Orion nebula

Posted By Richard Shreck
That is a great image...first one i have seen with both horsehead and orion in the same image. You should be proud of this one. For me, it shows exactly where I should be looking for the horsehead!

Just a suggestion

Posted By Richard Shreck
Paul, I got the moonlite focuser from www.focuser.com. They shipped it the day i placed the online order. Great product and service.
Also talked to them on the phone about which adapters I would need for my scope and they were very helpful.
