Re: Will there be clear skies anywhere?
It's a crap shoot for sure. Will probably be driving up to the Canadian border and home the same day if the forecast is favorable..

Re: NGC 4228 Barred Dwarf Irregular Galaxy
That's pretty amazing Roger. Over here I had wind and a high haze to contend with as well as the moon. Didn't even try going out under those conditions. And your 4228 is only 8' X 6' in size requiring a lot of magnification. Doing 5 hours is a big help but given the conditions the sharpness of this ...

Both astronomy and radio in one day
The dome shutter has been jammed since mid-December and the disassembly/repair needs to be on a warm dry day. Like today. With the help of my two sons we got the job done. Stargazing is once again a go. Many astronomy folks are also into ham radio. Not sure why that is but I'm back into it after a 5...

Looks more like Hubble than Celestron

Re: M40 double star and NGC 4284 & NGC 4290 spiral galaxies
By the time you’re as old as you are you’ve learned everything. You only have to remember it. You did. And this is a phenomenal image Roger. Sorry to learn of your serious health issue and very glad to see you recovering.

Re: A Method of Categorizing Double Stars
Wow! Couldn't agree more with your approach Tony. But can't imagine viewing with an exit pupil of only 0.33mm. That's not just small, it's so tiny that I didn't realize the eye could process it.

Re: IC 342
Actually, the flats are under control. Turns out they weren't the problem. This is a tough object indeed. The outer zone is VERY faint. Different zones processed with PS's lasso tool. Working LRGB instead of OSC would make a big improvement. Don't understand how moonlight causes the problem but perh...

IC 342
Tuesday, 2 Jan 2024 - The moon is down Are my ongoing “light infringement” problems associated with moonlight? I’ve explored everything else. So following up on my Dec 20th log, I’m out on a pristine dark transparent calm moonless night. Maybe Bortle 4.5? And the holiday lights are gone so the horiz...

Re: IC 1318 - Skunked Again
Wow! You may be right Mark. I've a follow-up that I've not been able to post as the forum is glacially slow and unforgiving.
