The GRS and Io's shadow are easily seen. But i can't see Io itself. Seeing not as good as i had hoped. Scope also has some tube currents.

I am hoping to get a look at Jupiter tonight.? Hope the seeing is decent! Jim?

The great red spot will be on the face of jupiter tonight around 22:29, accompanied by Io and Io's shadow. This is unusual becaues Io and it's shadow will be less than an arcsecond apart and are

Turns out I'll need to stay closer to home this weekend, so Nirvana's out for me.? I might be able to make it out to FLO tomorrow night, but that'll be a "game time" decision. Hope you enjoy the star

I will be at the frontenac star event as well , if I could tag along to check out Nirvana that would be great . Staying at twin cedars campground . Dave

Hi Matt, I'm going to the North Frontenac Star Party this weekend with my brother. We're staying at the Lakeside Inn near Bon Echo. I was planning to go see Nirvana at some point during the daytime

Just curious if anyone was planning to observe at Nirvana this weekend?? I know there is the North Frontenac Star Party happening..and the weather is not certain.? Just testing the waters. Matt

Hi Simon! I know the company you're talking about. There is another one as well, I forget where it is. Agree with you on Lunt's tech support. It's excellent. They are always happy people to talk

Hi all, Had a problem with hazing over of the optics in the blocking filter in my Lunt 152, sent it back and had it back with new elements in about 3 weeks! Prices for the Lunt are high but you get

Folks … Tristan is right on the money … (hi Tristan !!!!) My Coronado 90 (which serves me really well !!) developed precisely the problem he describes. I finally found the one and only blocking

I've known Frank for decades, but I know so little about him. It's hard to know the quiet and serene ones. Yes, he was a regular at OAFs sidewalk sessions. He once confided in me, at a post-sidewalk

Hello All -- Let me jimp into this thread. I have a Lunt 60mm with the pressure tuner. I’m very happy with it and I use it quite often, though only visually, as the views are good. I also have a

A few more quick comments about Nirvana: it looked like they might be widening the road. And there were wires tied off to trees so they wouldn’t droop on the road. The driveway onto the runway not

The white one looks to be the Lunt LS102FHa, but can't tell you if it's double-stacked, as the double-stack unit would be just in front of the focuser, which is obstructed by the mount. The gold one

Frank was a frequent participant at our “sidewalk astronomy” events. A lovely man who will be missed! Richard Harding ?

Oh no. So sad so young. Is he the first of us to pass on to the great beyond?

Hi Folks, Frank was a very kind, soft spoken gentleman. I first met him at the Texas Star Party decades ago! Ginny and I wish his friends and family our condolences. Have a great day. Bob

I remember him very fondly, he used to come out to my observatory in Stanleyville whenever I put out an invitation -- he was always a super nice, gentle, soft spoken soul! Very sad news

Hi Jim, OMG, that's so sad.? I remember Frank, such a nice guy.? I haven't seen him in years.? My condolences go to to his family and friends. - Tristan -
