  1. I've not seen one of the trains yet. I guess that their orbit and me being in Fla near the launch point it just hasn't worked out so the pass overhead.
  2. Excellent! Orion is a beautiful constellation!
  3. Yes, you turned it towards two of the most amazing things is our solar system! Dont forget the Moon, as it goes through its phases, the terminator gives you something different every night.
  4. Very nice image! And yes, as much as the members who lean to the dark side hate them, the clouds with the Moon always adds to its beauty!
  5. I wish I could say he'd do it, but being realistic I have to say there's not much chance on man in four years.
  6. Very impressive. I wonder if it was out over the Pacific and if that final flareup had any explosive force? Straight down, it not close to it, over a large metropolitan area could be the formula for a terrible disaster with a big enough bang!
  7. With us having CAVU I got out my filters to see if the spots were still there. Nothing compared to your images, but like always I'm happy with it. How do they number the spots?
  8. Got one being sent from FLO to me across the pond. I hope we get some images of him with his Christmas surprise.
  9. 17.4 hours! How many sessions? I really tip my hat to all of you dedicated astrophotographers. The effort you put into this clearly shows in your images!
  10. Excellent post! Sharing the night with nature is so wonderful. Dont get any hedgehogs, or geese, but bats, owls, coyotes and foxes are seem or heard often.
  11. With it being described as a more orangish red, I did see it, was just expecting a deeper color. With the holidays I haven't got much chance to get out. Hopefully tonight will be as clear as it was this morning.
  12. 👍 I do enjoy a good Moon image.
  13. I know it isnt your basic accessory, but what has made my observing better and easier is the simple observatory I built. In just a moment I'm standing there with coffee in hand looking up at the sky!
  14. Amazing! I have really enjoyed seeing so many solar images lately. I cant wait till it really gets active!
  15. I've got that along with an adapter that let's me use the camera with a barlow, in the 1.25" opening, no eyepiece.. This, with the barlow gives me a little less magnification than your type adapter. Also have another that let's me unscrew the entire eyepiece part of the focuser, then attach the camera prime focus. This allows me to get the entire moon in my image.
  16. I wonder if that was the one that gave us some faint red colored auroras here in Florida? Is quite spectacular seeing it, isnt it?
  17. The animation, how many images do you think were used and about how much time was involved with the asteroids movement? Reason I ask is I believe I captured one while imagining for meteors a couple years ago. It was on a lot of images, moving quite slow.
  18. Now is it just my imagination or did you also happen to capture the Lunar X and V in these images? They are incredible!
  19. I have fair skies and it's well placed, but still only on rare occasions can I just barely make it out naked eye. If you sit at the eyepiece for a while letting your eye adjust, more than the core will begin to appear. Enjoy your viewing!
  20. I've actually read most of the replies to the OP statement. All the thoughts of the fate of the universe are quite interesting. The thought that came to my mind, though I cant remember it exactly, is the serenity prayer. I cant change it, so I'm not going to worry about it.
