Sharing discoveries, including good equipment, is part of the enjoyment of doing this, seems to me. And besides, I owe you, Kent, for all the tips, recommendations, neat photos, and many other things

Yeah, my SkyFi battery will totally discharge in less than a month of inactivity. I’ve about given up on trying to keep it charged – I just run it off the telescope 12V battery using a car USB

I want to thank Roy Diffrient for telling me about Nexus devices a few years ago. I was previously using a bulky Argo Navis DSC, which is dated compared to the Nexus. I use the simple Nexus II, it

We do have totally different batteries from the days of the venerable nine volt. It will be interesting to see how the internal lithium battery holds up. It is not easily user serviceable as the old 9

A number of people report built in batteries having issues. Funny, my Lumicon Sky Vector DSC (remember those?) controller from the 1990's used a standard 9v battery and was so very simple. It never

For all BBAA and VPA Club members: An early morning trek to Windsor, VA will result in a rare Lunar transit of the International Space Station. This will happen at exactly 4:57 AM through this

I have seen that before on a G-11. If you do change the battery be sure to set the date/location information/time immediately or the battery will die again. Cold does no favors for those small

All setup for last night and then ... the mount gremlins got me. Cold must have killed the internal clock battery on the G11. Oh well. Last Night (

Jeremy, There is a great tool by NASA JPL for filtering on magnitude, elevation, types and even viewing times that I used for the follow-up observations and will use again for planning: What's

That's really great, both for the effectiveness of a home observatory and the opportunities for collaboration. Apologies for not properly grokking what I read - I imagine it would be very easy to

Jeremy, Yes, that is what I posted as being a new report? ".... has been identified as (3200) and published in MPEC 2024-X309". The MPEC are the Minor Planet Electronic Circulars which post news on

That's fantastic, Ben! Do you get feedback if/when your reports adjust the modeling? [email protected]> wrote:

The Minor Planet Center just published my first observation, code W45, and by chance it was asteroid "3200" a 3.6 mile wide Near-Earth Object (NEO) considered hazardous....I am hooked. Name? ? ? ?

Dr. Hitt and I would like to thank members of the Back Bay Amateur Astronomers and the Norfolk Astronomical Socieity for brighing their telescopes to the Chesapeake Planetarim in Chesapeake, VA. The

Congratulations Ben!

I’m excited to share that I’ve just received observatory code *W45* from the Minor Planet Center (MPC) for my home observatory! To achieve this certification, I submitted ephemeris data for six

Several weeks ago, NASA Night Sky Network quit working. I seem to remember you had to change your Password, but not Username. I managed to do so, and it worked, but now all I get in Username or

With altitude, the spot is a bit easier but still quite small. It is darker against the disc but the most interesting thing is how the SEB seems to effectively stop at the spot. Normally the NEB and
