After three days of testing the mirror in the 17.5, Kent, Stan and I agree that it is one of the best large aperture mirrors we have seen. Under excellent seeing, the stars were very close to refactor

Mark, The question of this Chippokes presentation came up at the May meeting, but no one knew anything about it at that time. Having missed the June meeting I don't know if it was resolved at that

Nick, I prefer a wider FOV for finding objects. Sometimes it is hard to locate small dim objects in my 10x50 narrow FOV binos. My favorite binoculars are my Orion UltraScan 8x42 Wide-Field binos.

I think it depends on what you want the binoculars for. My 10x50's have a 5 deg TFOV, enough to frame pretty much any object, and high enough mag for seeing many features on the Moon. The view they

You can try searching for “triatlas”, they have sky charts. I think in three different resolutions, free in pdf format. If you can’t get them, I think I still have them on my
