When averted vision doesn't work for me:
I remember the *first* time I tried using averted vision to look at a fuzzy. I was disappointed. I said to myself "this ain't no way to look at something." But time went on and I got to where *I could* see pretty good and am now satisfied with looking at things that way. But I was again reminded of its limitations, e.g., today, shortly after sunrise, I arrived in Fat-City (Metairie - New Orleans suburbs) to watch the Mardi Gras parade. There were cheerleaders, dance teams, knockouts in every direction; two right smack in the front of me, each *standing on the third rung of ladder*. Get the picture. Unfortunately, the wife was sitting right along side of me and I was trying my damnedest to be a respectful hubby. So I said to myself, "self, try averted vision." Don't work. Plaaaain and simple. Not for me anyway. Works wonderful on DSOs, but not worth a crap on daytime subjects. Sorry if this is too far of subject. If I do again, you can slap me at the next star party. Errol |

Miss the French Quarter? If I remember correctly, you stated to me in
another thread that you used to live in Lafayette. I might like to go down there one night when skies are clear and Saturn's in all its glory and set the scope up for passer-byes. Do a little sidewalk astronomy. Or perhaps out by the lake front. Errol |

Methinks you are confusing the term "averted vision" with "perverted vision." -- ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Mark Gingrich San Leandro, California |
