Subject: Re: 20" Sky Trials Author: Clive [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 01:03:02 03/01/03 Sat In reply to: Paul G 's message, "20" Sky Trials" on 23:33:04 02/28/03 Fri He's not kidding folks. Saturn is huge in the big gun, with moons you know your looking at. No more wondering "is that a moon or just dim back ground stars" those are definitely moons. The Orion nebula was great. You could of measured the dust lane seperation in millimeters. Lots of millimeters. M81 and M82 were out of this world (you know what I mean). Only had time for a breif glance as a cloud patch was heading that way and there were other eyes needing to look, but the detail was spectacular. This is an incredible instrument that the club has at it's disposal. We owe a huge thank you to all those who gave of there time to rebuild the club 20". THANK YOU!!! Once all the fine tuning is completed the possibilities of the celestial jewels we can enjoy together will be endless. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
