Voyager 3

@astroavani's Wonderful blue and red star pairing !

Which one is the telescope ?

How is your autumn season going @scarp15 ?

Or 1.25" focuser (maybe in the DL?) ..

Ahh did I spoil the surprise then ...

For Procyon - I've read no one alive has observed the companion! I'm not surprised are you ? PS : Stu did you notice how active this forum is after relocation ..?

Don , please do report us how your eyepieces work in your new fast 16" (Congrats!) .

Ha , no apologies , as I'm no greater . You have to read my English to know the meaning of sloppy .

Astimagtism and coma are aberrations , while pincushion and barrel are distortions .

You've left nothing more to be said . 😂 My first double would be Rigel!

Ahh thanks Stu , I wasn't aware of it ! And like you say , a tenth of a degree is more than enough accuracy .

There are APM XWA for less than half the price of Ethos . 😄

May I suggest you to find the AFOV using the field stop and use custom of field of view ? FS of 3.7mm - 7.1mm FS of 4.7mm - 9mm Use Field stop/Focal length of the telescope × 57.3 for finding the AFOV . The caveat is you won't be able to add to decimal digits in SS ..

+1 excellent idea!

3.4mm HR looks alone ... You need a 3.3mm to support it 😈 .

Several mm ? Then is it even possible to focus the field together at once even in a flat scope ?

Alos how was the combination of the 14mm and the OIII Kon ? Was it manageable or dark ? We will have a good PM chat on this if you are fine with it ..

Witch head nebula IC 2118 is another nebula that will spice up your Halloween . ( not sure whether it's suitable for 8" though!) .

Like Kon , I've never thought this would be the case . I've always thought your skies are ~Bortle 3 skies from your reports . Oh man , would you believe it , you've done TERRIFIC observations from your light polluted location !!!!!

Which one ? 🤯

I guess he is referring to the "planner" feature . Go to observe menu and choose "planner" . Choose comets under object type , set your desired magnitude limit , maybe add RA for visibility in your observing time . Give search and add it to observing list . Now go to observation list and allow highlight object option . Now the object will appear the way he described - it will highlight the comet with a small ring around it .

Hmmmm 😅 .

@PeterW's pm list is about to go on a bang . 😄

Fine report Stu . I really love the location ! ( ok , your set-up too 😉) .

Fine session Bob . 😀
