Neighborhood Heron Rookery

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

This is located a mile from my house in Euless, Tx. There are seven nests in this tree. I hope to get some good pics after the eggs hatch. I never realized how long the Herons legs are.

Here are my adapters; one for the Pentax 14mm XL, and the other for the Teleview 32mm Ploessl. The Canon A70 mounts to the Canon adapter via bayonet mount. James, give me a call at 817-283-0843.
Regards, Ron

A VERY GOOD YEAR FOR DUCKS!

I'm submitting this shot even though I had my camera set on lowest resolution. I'll try again soon to find this brood and retake their pictures.

After spending the winter in South America, this Mississippi Kite has returned to the same branch it was fond of occupying last year.

63/840mm Jena objective

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

I recently purchased Don Bledsoe's "Zeisstron". This is the 63mm Telementor objective cell in a four inch Celestron tube, using a Burgess focuser. This is one incredibly nice scope. I have used it for all types of observing, and digiscoping. The sharpness could not be exceeded by any other scope I am familiar with. My Pentax SMC XL eyepieces work great with it.

COLLIMATING A C5

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

I am a neophyte when it comes to Schmitt Cassigrain optics. Could anyone direct me to a web site that would aid me in checking the collimation of a 750mm C5? I would be most appreciative of any help offered.
