In comparison, the RedCat 51 is faster at F/4.9, but the Z73 gives you more aperture and almost twice the reach. For that matter, it seems like SharpCap could just embed their software in a camera, dumb down their UI, and offer up a serious competitor at a fraction of the price. Big aperture, with all the The attackers may have stopped voluntarily after that, or they might have been stymied by Astronomics new defenses since Bieler had hired a cybersecurity expert to help. 1,501 replies: Last by Nick W., Yesterday, 10:46 PM, 459 replies: Last by Terra Nova, Yesterday, 10:46 AM, 28 replies: Last by mdowns, Mar 25 2023 01:54 PM, 146 replies: Last by Kasmos, Jan 01 2023 12:22 AM, 1 replies: Last by Brian Risley, Aug 28 2014 08:36 PM, 0 replies: Last by Glassthrower, Apr 15 2007 04:38 PM, 508 replies: Last by LDW47, Today, 12:10 PM, 3 replies: Last by gwfbmd, Today, 12:09 PM, 936 replies: Last by marcyc, Today, 11:44 AM, 7 replies: Last by jragsdale, Today, 11:41 AM, 7,931 replies: Last by semlin, Today, 11:03 AM, 16 replies: Last by m0bius, Today, 10:05 AM, 439 replies: Last by 4Texans, Today, 09:18 AM, 14 replies: Last by Chris MN, Today, 07:47 AM, 23 replies: Last by Kasmos, Today, 04:32 AM, 3 replies: Last by GUS.K, Today, 02:29 AM, 9,840 replies: Last by Bungee, Yesterday, 10:50 PM, 15 replies: Last by bjkaras, Yesterday, 10:30 PM, 347 replies: Last by bjkaras, Yesterday, 10:13 PM, 147 replies: Last by Happy-Idiot, Yesterday, 10:04 PM, 13 replies: Last by DAVIDG, Yesterday, 09:53 PM, 504 replies: Last by semlin, Yesterday, 09:41 PM, 6 replies: Last by DouglasPaul, Yesterday, 07:55 PM, 1,490 replies: Last by deSitter, Yesterday, 04:02 PM, 3,166 replies: Last by CharlieB, Yesterday, 03:57 PM, 86 replies: Last by Petsyk Alexey, Yesterday, 01:56 PM, 16 replies: Last by bob midiri, Yesterday, 12:19 AM, 7 replies: Last by bjkaras, Apr 29 2023 10:44 PM, 127 replies: Last by Phteven Chaos, Apr 29 2023 07:05 PM, 22 replies: Last by Linn, Apr 29 2023 02:06 PM, 14 replies: Last by Lentini, Apr 28 2023 10:17 PM, 269 replies: Last by jhstruble, Apr 28 2023 09:57 PM, 1,055 replies: Last by jgraham, Apr 28 2023 09:05 PM, 30 replies: Last by Mr Magoo, Apr 28 2023 07:24 PM, 0 replies: Last by martinastro68, Apr 28 2023 05:52 PM, 27 replies: Last by KMHammer, Apr 28 2023 03:20 PM, 11 replies: Last by C140Cessna, Apr 28 2023 01:45 PM, 48 replies: Last by norvegicus, Apr 28 2023 12:47 PM, 0 replies: Last by Andre Moutinho, Apr 27 2023 09:27 PM, 42 replies: Last by RichA, Apr 27 2023 07:37 PM, 1 replies: Last by MDT, Apr 27 2023 06:56 AM, 128 replies: Last by bjkaras, Apr 26 2023 10:03 PM, 14 replies: Last by Terra Nova, Apr 26 2023 07:42 PM, 100 replies: Last by dariv, Apr 26 2023 01:53 PM, 694 replies: Last by SkyHound, Apr 26 2023 01:29 PM, 0 replies: Last by Alanvogt, Apr 26 2023 09:58 AM, 9 replies: Last by HRA, Apr 26 2023 03:41 AM, 4 replies: Last by photoracer18, Apr 25 2023 05:27 PM, 26 replies: Last by harbinjer, Apr 25 2023 03:46 PM, 15 replies: Last by deSitter, Apr 25 2023 01:05 PM, Classic Telescopes Looking for Odds and Ends-The Ask Away Thread.

Then again, most of us who put in the effort to be involved and/or lurk astroforums are probably not the target audience. This was not a sophisticated computer crime. Its not and, in particular the Unistellar App. Because the Z73 is so lightweight and portable, its a great option for anyone using an entry-level telescope mount. From the 1780s to the mid-1990s - refractors, reflectors, and early SCTs. Not because of dissatisfaction with the EVscope, but to free up the $$ for other things.

The 5 telescopes on this list are all small Apochromatic Refractors. If youre testing a mirror, reducing its aperture by placing a circular ring of card about 5mm wide over the end of the scope will help you detect the presence of an optical fault known as a turned-down edge. I need something that can run my CCD imaging sessions, as BackyardEOS was designed for use with Canon DSLRs.

Aside its obvious ties to climate change science, solar astronomy is extremely important to our understanding of, and ability to predict flares and coronal mass ejections, which have the potential to devastate modern society (google "Carrington Event"). I remember articles in the British Astronomical Society Journal about amateur made coronagraphs with an interference filter to view proms from around the same time Also at about the same time in Sky and Telescope their were ads for a Skyspear interference filters of H-alpha solar observing so the idea is not unique to this telescope. The only difference is that reflectors show a dark ring near the centre of the concentric ring pattern, which is due to the secondary mirror. Whats the best astrophotography telescope for a beginner? You can also use the time to rebuild the PHD-2 Dark Library that this system uses for guiding. If youve got a reflecting telescope, you also need to make sure that its collimated.
