Astro: NGC 2903
Reordering the hard drive I found a shot from last spring taken with my
6" f/4 before the LX200R was available. It was taken through clouds. At the time I had no idea how to process it but of late everything I take is through clouds so I'm getting the hang of it. A bit smaller scale than the 14" however! 6" f/4, 8x5 minutes, ST-7, Paramount ME Rick -- Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct. Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh". |

Nice shot with the small scope Rick.

That's a nice galaxy image, Rick.

If I can tame the secondary I'm thinking of trying the lens for the STL
cameras with that scope for a wide field set up at budget rates. Should give over 3 degrees across the long axis. I need to solve the secondary droop first. After 45 years that I've had the scope (I got it used for $100 from an ad in the want ad section (long gone) of Sky and Telescope), the secondary is tired and won't hold collimation from one side of the sky to the other. You see it in this image. I now see an asteroid in the image. A quick search shows it to be 438 Zeuxo, named for one of the three thousand daughters of Okeanos (Ocean) and Tethys. Now that's a neat sounding name for an asteroid! Mag 15.1. There's a 19th mag one as well, Way beyond that little scope! Zeuxo was discovered by August Charlois, Nov. 8, 1898.

Rick,
I wonder if these three thousand daughters of Okeanos and Thetys all have names. If so this would be a nice reservoir for asteroid-names ;-) Stefan "Rick Johnson" schrieb im Newsbeitrag news If I can tame the secondary I'm thinking of trying the lens for the STL cameras with that scope for a wide field set up at budget rates.

I have no idea. I found that reference he
http://messagenet.com/myths/ppt/Zeuxo_1.html It doesn't say any thing more than that. I didn't look further.
