moon cam request
skip the solar system clock idea,
I am looking for a web sight that has a moon cam. it should offer three different magnification options. it should offer six or eight facts about what we are looking at, (names, altitudes, etc) and it could tell you whats coming up in future viewing. does anyone know of such a web sight ? |

No, but have you looked at http://www.lpod.org/
Clear Skies Chuck Taylor Do you observe the moon? Try the Lunar Observing Group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lunar-observing/ Lunar Picture of the Day http://www.lpod.org/ ************************************ "Az Trekker" wrote in message ... skip the solar system clock idea, I am looking for a web sight that has a moon cam. it should offer three different magnification options. it should offer six or eight facts about what we are looking at, (names, altitudes, etc) and it could tell you whats coming up in future viewing. does anyone know of such a web sight ? |

Chuck Taylor:
Are reticles possible for say 10" Newtonian reflecting telescopes that would enable angular measurements to be made? Could reticles be made? How could they be adapted or made visible in a telescope's optical system? Reticles are used in optical comparators for use in measuring small widths on small industrial parts. Reticles are precise arrangements of thin lines or measurement scales that are viewable through telescopes and microscopes. The classic movie image is the view through the periscope of a submarine, and the reticle is used to decide direction of view and sizes of objects, for example. Ralph Hertle |

They can also be made by placing the reticle at the focal plane See http://www.skywatch.co.za/instruments/micrometer/ for building a filar micrometer Clear Skies Chuck Taylor Do you observe the moon?

For example the first of a great many hits I got on Googling was http://www.buytelescopes.com/product_list.asp?t=40. -- Odysseus |
