Fall Messier MarathonPosted By Greg Kim |
To each his own, maybe the thrill of it has some appeal, I consider the idea a novel one as most nights I might only see or at least concentrate on 7 or 8 them as most are not in range or blocked by something. To be able to see almost all in one viewing is truly a marathon, I think the idea has it's own appeal and as i said before to each his own.
The list on the .pdf file was nice to have, I printed it out and it was much appreciated and I thank you Tom.

Meade DS linePosted By Greg Kim |
Go for it, it's decent for the money and if you are getting the 497 autostar hand control (has the numbered key pad) it has a world of info. The goto's will be fairly accurate and will guide you in a light polluted sky. $250 is what some high end eyepieces go for so you get the whole package for the same. For a first scope you will be pleased and will, want more.

Beginning Astronomy?
Meade DS linePosted By Greg Kim |
We all have to crawl before we walk and while we may try to help, learning comes from experience.
Of interest to me from the responders to this thread, what was your first scope? Mine was a 4.5" Bushnell reflector on an equatorial mount completely manual, cost was under $200.

Is the C14 the best planetary scope?Posted By Greg Kim |

The best pictures I have seen by amateurs are from Celestrons. Does that make them the best planetary scope?
Dan
I have looked through a few scopes and the C-14 is for sure up there as a very good planetary scope. It is a great all round performer.

Comet Holmes from Las Vegas, NV.Posted By Greg Kim |
I "found" this in the night sky and was excited as I had not seen it before near Mirfak and quickly looked up the info and found Holmes!
