Dear RAC< Here is the last test image from my session on Wednesday night using the future RAC/ MSRO Station 3 telescope. Its a highly cropped portion of a full frame image of the nebula IC 443/444 in

Stars are distorted at the edges and corners. Usually due to back focus distance (sensor/telescope). Need to add spacers. Scott Busby Belmont Observatory Spotsylvania, Virginia (540)273-0063

Myron & Pete, That’s great for a quick test. That is a nice focal length and field of view for all the galaxy groups in the sky right now. I got a little data last night but need to get some

Enclosed is a full frame image of NGC 2903 and a cropped vesion. This image like the others I sent out (except M37) are about 2 hours of integration (24 5-minute auoguided subs) Myron

Heres M37 and the small satellite cluster NGC 1907. Again this is full frame so you will need to zoom in to see detail. I wanted to show what the FOV for this telescope is.Myron

Dear RAC, I have been working with Pete Laky to bring another remote telescope online as a combined RAC/MSRO station. This will use a Stellarvue? SVX102T-R (Raptor) which has a hand-figured triplet

Dear RAC, On Saturday night I was able to get almost 3 hours of exposure on the spiral galaxy M 100 in Virgo. I used the 10" RC for this pseudo RGB image. Note all the faint background galaxies.

Myron Kudos to you and your worker bees who have accomplished so much. These two scopes are impressive indeed!

Myron, The new scopes look great Myron! Appreciate your hard work to make this possible. The new capabilities for science and imaging exploration will be awesome. The jack looks like the perfect

? Dear RAC, Here’s the solution Pete and I came up with to move the big 14” Celestron/ASKO in and out of the garage for star testing. A pallet jack from Northern Tools! Works great. I’m

Dear RAC, At last nights meeting during the MSRO report I discussed progress on our new Station 3 astrophotography setup. It uses a Stellarvue 102mm f/7 ( will be soon f5) SVX102T- Raptor and ASI 2600

Dear RAC< Enclosed is the zoom meeting link for our March 2025 meeting and program held last night. We discussed activities at MSRO, and members shared their lunar eclipse stories. Finally, I gave a

Hi Everyone! MSRO 2 is performing super well right now - the go-to is spot-on and the improved polar alignment allows for much better long-duration collection. Attached is M101 that I imaged last

Great shot!

Hello Everyone! Myron nicely touched up the polar alignment on MSRO 2 which has made it possible to do longer stretches of unadjusted imaging so last night I took a crack at NGC 2903 early in the

Dear RAC, Enclosed is a zoom invite for our March RAC meeting. Business meeting will start at 7:30 and go until approximately 8-8:15. Following that will be open discussion by members about the

I was in Richmond and the skies were clear at the beginning until clouds moved in about half way to totality...but satellite images showed it was clear just west of Richmond, so I drove out I-64 to

Nice Myron. I see you got a few stars also
