I see what you mean.I've always had reflectors (given the light gathering capability/size as opposed to pricey refractors,prohibitively so as size increases) with my interests being neb's,clusters and fainter objects I just presumed the grass was greener.Mind apart from mid summer it's never much cop realy.
-
Wish i'd invested the extra to get refractors.............the moisture at this time of year is a pain as far as protecting the mirror on a reflector goes

B) It will be one of the main concerns-especialy if you travel out to 'black' skies to do any observing/photographing

fascinating stuff!Thanks -
Excellence as I'm sure you're more than aware will be rather pricey I fear..Have you thought of perhaps grinding your own lenses to at least save on the telescope side.The photography side of it.........well i am just starting to dabble hence the interest.Even a small observatory/shed B) may help...at least you'll be more comfortable.Motors etc check Ebay they're good online shops that sell mirror blanks etc VERY reasonably.

Thanks for that Gray-Wolf.Again excuse my ignorance but if the ice melt continues unabaited would that not lead to devastating changes in the European climate due to the desalination of the North Atlantic and the effect upon it's currents?Or is that me being misled by Hollywood?

we've lost almost all our reds now so it's nice to see them.Thanks

Fascinating read......Oh for it to happen now

3c in the Duham dales nr Stanhope on the way over at 4pm.Pockets of snow persisting at tops low cloud -fog forming.

It was odd.Also I must be getting old coz he looked for all the like a schoolboy today.

Moody and inviting..Superb

Nice photo of my favorite contellation(I take it as Winters coming when I see it)Love the horsehead nebulae in there too.I agree with Oon the 8ins nice for specific light capture capability but I use the 6ins for convenience(both Newtonians by the way)

Clever lad- fascinating thread...love volcanos thank you!Will visit often!
-
GW how and to what level would you wish a recovery to occur?Genuine question as I'm still learning. :smiliz19:
-
Thanks blackdown...I agree great site!

I love stuff like that .We get the kids school photos done in b/w or even sepia.Photos seem more thought provoking and dramatic when colour isn't the issue.Maybe that's because I have a poor eye for blue/green shades and therefore prefer stong red and purple images on the colour snaps and is probably also where my liking for the enhanced ones began.

I Get you!For me being a keen gardener I prefer to grow my annuals from seed and am chuffed when I grow a nice specimen as opposed to going to the garden centre and buying off the shelf type of thing.
-
Yeah I get what you mean but isn't enhancement a large part of even pro photography? as you can wait an awful long time for that perfect shot.Fashion photos seem to be complete enhancement as they rarely bear any resemblance to the actual person who was snapped.

No'2 stills looks great though Lou

Broken cloud,slight breeze,nippy

Love the multiple palm tree sunset! -
Would this if it occured be observable on Earth?Obviously beyond my 8ins reflector's capability but more powerful scopes maybe?
-
Has anyone picked up on the story that they're releasing 20 beaver into Scotland?.The first since they were hunted to extinction 500 years ago.

By the look on its face someone's tried.
