BBC Solar System show

Posted By Bill Possel
Hi Michael

I missed the show but hope it will be on again. Its always interesting to think about nuclear powered spaceflight. Remember the Titan IV launch of Cassini where there were several protests to try to stop the launch because of the nuclear fuel?

Clear skies

EP testing, Please~!

Posted By Bill Possel
Like most things in life, the answer is "It depends!" smile

But for my 20" Starmaster, the best, most used eyepiece is the 17mm Nagler w/ and w/o a 2x barlow. The stars are pinpoint across the entire field of view and that 82 degree fov is impressive!

For binoviewing, I really like the 30mm Ultimas.

Thanks
Bill

Hi Thomas

Thanks for the drawing. That blue festoon is so cool! Does anyone know what chemical mix creates the blue?

Best 2" O-III Filter?

Posted By Bill Possel
Hi Doug

I also found the Astronomik better than the Lumicon. The stars just seemed sharper.
