Interesting blog entry, Qualia. Lots to think about here (too much for my short lunch break)....look forward to the next installment! So, when will you get to the Higgs Boson :)? Do we think the CERN team have cracked it yet or are they just justifying their next budget allocation requests ;).

I'm afraid at my latitude its pretty much not dark at any time (llowing for the LP), assuming the clouds ever let me see the sky for more than a minute! I tried to find the Ringrecently with my 100rs, but gave up. However, you are right, there is no substitute for time at the eyepiece. I think alimited range of targets in an observing slot is a sensible plan for that reason.

Nice sketches, Qualia. I found the side by side comparison regarding the filter very instructive! Thanks!

Meh. Weather hates me.

Out of curiosity, what ep/diagonal combination are you most typically using for the Messiers? And is this different from what you use for splitting doubles? I think Albireo is one of the most beautiful objects I have ever had the good fortune to see - the colours are stunning! Look forward to your next post!

Ah thats interesting. I've read some good reviews of the UHC - tempted to get one myself. I have the Baader neodymium moon and skyglow filter to try cut some of the sodium haze. It works a little, I think, but there are many "white" lights as opposed to the orange, from a carpark immediately oposite my house. Have you given any thought to the OIII filters? I believe these are supposed to be good for "planetary" nebulas?

TAL100RS and TAL125R size comparison -
Just been told my TAL125r has been delivered - can't wait to get home and unwrap it :)

Look forward to seeing how this progresses, and if the cloud ever lifts, whether I can follow through my own eyepiece :). Will you update regularly against this list so we can se how you do?

Good work, Qualia. I love the background info you have provided as well. I have yet to get a decent view of M57 from my heavily LP location; unfortunately I can't get on a roof, and I wonder if that height helps by getting you above much of the light? Do you use any filters?
