Holy cow the rings are closing! Soon we wont be able to get a photon through them edgewise! Lovely colors in your image.

Protecting telescopes in a dome

I run a dew heater 24/7 and a BIG Hepa? air cleaner whenever I am out of the building, and it makes a treeemendous difference in how dust-free stuff stays.

Focuser extension?

Posted By Mike Clemens

What kind of scope? Certainly this is the case for Takahashi "NSV" scopes, or any TMB with 8" or 9" of in-focus. Indeed binoviewing capability would be what you gain.

Today's feeding frenzy

Posted By Mike Clemens

Cool ! You've identified the bird for me that we get on our birdfeeders each Summer. The Red Breasted Nuthatch eh? Glad to know it, we see them every day when they're in town. I'd say we get 95% Black Cap Chickadee by volume, 5% Red Breasted Nuthatch. This is about 30 miles North of Anchorage, Alaska.
