The control box is perfect, except for the sharpie marks. The seller seemed to be more of a random item seller and I suspect they picked it up at an auction or surplus sale. The extra ID sticker numbers on the tube and case makes me think it was from a school or university. The ...
What would ZWO gain by making a Seestar Advanced that will likely move the product away from what makes the original Seestar so compelling (small, easy to use, integrated and cheap). This is my though, but I don't think I'm the target audience for these things. #41 BrentKnight Voyage...
so portability is key. I'm also pretty cheap. The D3 works for both problems... but for really wide-field work I've also been using an old Pixel6 cell phone camera. Collected a couple of interesting frames with just a tripod and the Google photos night mode here:https:...
Planetary Seeing tonight averaged 8 / 10, with scattered intervals of near perfect conditions. During these, 250x with the Radian 4mm was sharp & contrasty - helped me see Europa's disk transiting the cloud belts, glancing off the north edge of the STB, as well as crossing a large diffuse...

Here is a picture of the interference rings of a well centered lens using a my desk lamp which uses a cheap CFL bulb. A CFL bulb is a gas discharge type so it has many monochrome emission lines to make white light and these are separated enough to make semi monochrome light and show ...
We were spoiled for a long time with cheap shipping, but the ‘just in time’ needs and massive internet sales time we live in now has saturated (maybe even oversaturated) the shipping business. 10 years ago, I saw a UPS truck int the neighborhood a couple of times a week…now it...
- Bausch & Lomb --> I've seen a few of these sell for ludicrous prices. ... that's why I don't buy old scopes as investments. (I'm pretty sure that if my Tinsley 6" Cass had its original mirrors, I wouldn't have gotten it so cheap.) ...
I have read several places where the older Meade 2080 had real good optics. If you could get one of the OTA's cheap, and maybe another mount, it would be worth it. It seems that mounts have been a problem for Meade, no matter how good the optics are. I have a 90 ETX with some...
since it will just be for astro, I don't see why not on getting a older model canon. there is mods and clip in filters which is cool. I'm pretty sure after a while you may want to mod/clip in filters. Lol after seeing how cheap a used xsi is going for I may get something ...
