How old are you???

Posted By Ansuman Pal

Will be 32 next month. Long story short, born in India, the only thing I remember from my childhood is at the time of Solar eclipse, when all neighborhood went inside, scared, some superstition, my father took me outside, with a piece of cardboard with a tiny pin hole, and a sheet of white paper to show eclipse image. Used to read reference books from School library while in middle school, in India. Never got chance to even touch a real scope until my Wife bought me one smile , here in United States at the age of 28.
Poor mount design kept me away from using it until I went to Akron Astronomy Club Star Party one freezing night. Since then I really got hooked on to it.
Also, Astromart has helped me finding read good stuffs. grin

What are you doing to save on GAS?

Posted By Ansuman Pal

Ivan,
I drive each way 52.7 miles to work on my 2001 Honda accord lx, 4cyl. With controlled driving (A/C on while return home) on highway I hit my record high at 35.6 miles/gl. I don't think any mid size on highway will be able to give that efficiency. Even the Hybrid models are close or may be little better but you pay a lot more upfront too!

Newbie Saturn - More or leave it? [edited]

Looks good, I am no expert here. Again if I were you I will try again an may take multiple avi(s) of similar periods and do manual selection of frames and compare it with auto selection.
Last time I used was Neximage on Televue 3X barlow on 8N f/4.9. The collimation was little off and the seeing was 3/5. The image came out to be okay for my second trial. Your's looks better smile The main trick is focusing manually wink
