I have BOINC installed and the system says it's active, but all the stats, projects, etc, are ZERO. Again, Boinc says it's using my machine when it's inactive, but nothing seems to be getting done. Any suggestions?

Warthog,

I have an 8" Dob, F 5.9, 1200mm. I'm considering getting ONE 2" EP from Siebert Optical. Most 2" Siebert EPs have a FOV would be 70mm with 20mm eye relief. I'm primarily interested in DSOs. Any suggestions/guidance?

Many thanks.

I've been a SETI-Stargazers Lounge team member for a few months. Nothing was happening and I finally figured out I had to download Boinc. The system tells me it's using my computer (MacBook), but so far I've got zero work units and no "credit." Seems odd. Any advice? SETI didn't answer my inquiry.

I'm new at this also. I set up in my front yard next to the street. It's a quiet neighborhood and I live on a cul-de-sac, so there isn't much traffic, but I do wonder what anyone driving by would think when they see me out there at midnight or 1 AM. I was particularly self-conscious when I was aligning my finder scope by pointing at ground level objects in the 'hood. What the heck. They'll get use to it.
