With the birth of my second grandchild and the weather not cooperating this week I only got a few nights of imaging in. Here is C/2012 S1 Comet ISON (1) 6min Exposure Sloan Yellow Filter 4.5" F/4 astrograph October 26, 2013. Also are M95 M96 at 9.8mag and 9.3 mag respectively. They are 41' 43" separation. The comet tail is about 20' in length. There are a lot of galaxies in the image down to about 17 mag...

What happened to Ison?

Posted By Paul Webb

I do not know..............here in South Carolina it was disappointing this AM. In 11X80MM binos has a nice head, but a smidgen of a tail. I could not make it out naked eye.

Billy, I could be wrong but Special Coatings were added and an option at one time with those older C-8's. The coatings were added for the benefit of photography only. You should not see a discernible difference visually. Enjoy the scope! Paul

No Baby Blues with this Brandon!

Congrats Andy! I had a couple of theses scopes in the past. One was complete with all the original accessories and the gray hard case. It may be the very same scope ! In focus objects had no color and was a nice portable scope too! Enjoy in clear, steady skies my friend! Paul
