Well, apparently attachments show up only in certain views of the forum. If you don't see it, go to the main category "Observing Tonight".

Yep Jeff, we are planning on Friday night at Eagle Bluff again! Looks like a carbon copy of last Saturday, but maybe a bit colder so bundle up and bring a hot beverage. Will confirm it here tomorrow afternoon.

Sounds like a GO for tonight. Bathroom code is 1339. Dress warm!

Nice night (3/19/2021) for observing with the little StarBlast scope. Took a short video of the moon through the scope with Orion moon filter and 6.3M pixel camera. A still pic from the video (enhanced a bit) is shown below.

Hey everyone, first post on the new forum! Looks great! Anyway, here’s a photo of the flame nebula. This was taken with my new EdgeHD 1100 W/CGX mount. Next investment might be a new ZWO camera, fingers crossed!

Have to agree with Josef, Mike a very nice picture with you new scope! (Is the horsehead next?!) BTW what camera did you use? Your new scope should also be great on planetary pics.

I’m still using my modified Canon 70D. I did grab some photos of the Horse Head, but I noticed some of the smaller stars were a little out of focus. I’ll still post it later this week. Got to say, that CGX mount is very impressive.

Hello all, Is it going to be clear Friday or Saturday night? Is Eagle Bluff available?

Eagle Bluff would be perfect. Fingers crossed the weather holds up. If we don’t hear anything about EB, we can always do Root River.

Hi, we are trying to contact Eagle Bluff to confirm for lights off and bathroom code. Friday night (May 7) is looking good albeit chilly. Hopefully they’ll respond quickly tomorrow.

It was so nice to get out with folks again on the 7th, as promised here’s the photo I was working on. I think my camera has some hot pixels I need to work out when processing. But, here’s the Iris Nebula, NGC 7023!
