Hi Teun, welcome to SGL

Forgot about this. iPhone snap through the FC100 and 3.5mm LVW. Hand held so not well framed or focused.

I have δ Cor listed as SHJ 145, mag 2.95 and 8.47 sep 24.6" pa 216°. It should be an easy target in any size scope. Nice, but a bit low for me.

Looks close to a Hyperion design.

Easy to interpret. Yellow is when you can't do solar, and black is when you can't do astro.

I have another hobby - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1464145827194143

Just doing some solar with the 120. Nice group of sunspots but the seeing is awful.

If it's anything like my 12" StellaLyra (GSO), the optics should be great. I too use the 30mm UFF - one of the best eyepieces made. In comparison the Superview 30mm is pants. I don't have any problems focusing. I only photograph the moon using a x4 Powermate though.

I should add I tend to look at the 'Radar and Satellite observations' from Sat24.

It never adding up doesn't sense. Easier for me where I am though - 100% is 100%

When I use the Nirvanas, they are all nearly par focal. So I leave it at that focus and slip the 42mm in part way until it's focused. Whether I use the 16mm Nirvana or the 17mm LVW as an intermediate, going to the 8mm of the Svbony is a huge amount of in-focus. Given the brightness of stars I'm looking at I can't even see if they are there they are so out of focus.

I very quickly gave up on using it for double stars. The change in focus is too much of a jump from my other eyepieces and I just got annoyed with it. My old set up of 42mm LVW as finder, then 16mm, 7mm(8mm), 4mm Nirvanas works perfectly for doubles so I've been using that tonight. As I have better planetary eyepieces at 8mm, 6mm, 4mm, 3.5mm, I shall probably end up selling it as it isn't going to get any use.

All done. Some high cloud has crept in so not much to see now.

Looks good for a couple of hours here. So I'm going have a double session in UMa.

Her English was very good. She could speak on any topic, even science stuff. Sometimes her pronunciation was way off. For a while I was trying to understand when she said someone was 'trying to devil up' - I figured it out, it was actually develop! Originally she was from a small village in Transylvania. I know it's shameful, but in ten years I never learned any Romanian
