  1. Now that is nice! I'll download RC 0.19.1 immediately and see if I can find out how this works. Edit: I can't find an .exe or .msi. Just ... Stellarium-0.19.0.16932-x86_64.AppImage Stellarium-0.19.0.16932.dmg Source code(zip) Source code(tar.gz) Am I looking in the wrong place?
  2. Lovely images, Avani. Great job! I tried to make a 3D view out of the images, but the planet hasn't turned enough between them so the 3D looks very flat. I suppose you need images taken about 15 minutes apart for that trick to work. Thanks for these wonderful images.
  3. Two awesome Saturns. The IR shows more details in the atmosphere, so I like that one best. Thanks!
  4. Hi Pierre, it's a wonderful image. Looking forward to tomorrow's, with Saturn.
  5. The 8mm BST is going to be much better than the 10mm kit eyepiece. It will Barlow just fine, but the magnification will be pretty high and the atmosphere may limit the 8mm's usability with the Barlow to nights of very good seeing.

    Beautiful sketches, very impressive!
  7. That Morpheus certainly found a warm home. Congratulations on your new eyepiece!
  8. Alcohol would do the job.
  9. My Bresser Everest ED 8x42 are the same as the celestron granites, just a bit cheaper (€125 less). I bought them on recommendations from bird watcher forums. Good binoculars, the dealer bought a pair for himself after we looked through them. But it was a few years back there may be better options today. Check the bird forums.
  10. Hi Avani, these are some really good images. Thanks!
  11. It's an excellent image, John. Thanks for sharing.
  12. Oh wow, and it's already a very responsive website. But more of everything is the way to go! Good luck with the switch over.
  13. You missed the point. I was describing what observing means to me. I like viewing NASA images. But that's not what observing means to me.
  14. For me, astronomical observing is seeing original photons with my own eyes. Eeva is watching an image. That's fine, I like that too, but it's not observing. It's seeing photons that travelled mere centimetres. It's not the real thing.
  15. Lovely image! There's a wonderful intensity to the stars. Congratulations.
