I found the S50 to be a little too large and too heavy when I took it to Botswana in December. Bush planes have a low weight limit, so I had to use a bit of trickery to get both the S50 and my

Michael, Attached for size comparisons though in reality the S30 seems much smaller than the S50, more so than the photo shows, b/c of the weight difference. The footprint of the scope inside the case

There are a couple recent comparisons on YouTube. Nico Carver (Nebula Photos) and Cuiv the Lazy Geek recently posted video reviews. -Mark.

After pre-ordering the S50 after it was announced, a buddy in Ohio cajoled me into pre-ordering the S30. The S30 arrived about 10-11 days ago and I've had the opportunity to set-up both, side-by-side,

Ranger Charlie just reached out to say they have to cancel Saturday Night's outreach & open obs due to a staff emergency/emergency leave situ. Our next scheduled session is Saturday Night, 1 March. r/

Actually will max out in size this year in April, not June.

Of course most of you already know this but now is a good time to start to regularly watch Venus. As the planets close out their observing season, Venus now takes the center stage. Of all the planets,

Saturday Night is shaping-up to be a 'go'. I suspect I'll be able to make the official 'go/no-go' call early on Saturday before 3PM. As I've mentioned here at least once before, I was a Synoptic

Best night this season for Mars. I will have a longer list of carbon stars coming but wanted to comment on Mars tonight. The scope took 40 minutes to settle out temperature wise but once it did, wow.

Here's a Spaceweather.com article about our favorite recent comet. THE DISINTEGRATION OF COMET ATLAS:?Some comets like it hot. Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) is not one of them. After it flew past the sun

24 is cold anywhere. Did you see anything? 55 Tuesday. What a world.

24° might not seem cold to some of you but it’s chilly for us in Virginia Beach, VA. Nevertheless, I couldn’t resist a short night of observing.

Awesome image Ian. This complex is otherwise known as the “Double Nebula” IC 2162 ( Sh 2-255 is IC 2162 West and Sh 2-257 is IC 2162 east). They are listed on the Astronomical League’s Bright

Never have seen these Ian. Nice. Mushrooms do wonders for you as an astral propellant.

One from last night. This is a cool star forming region located in the GEM OB1 molecular cloud. It is sometimes referred to as the Mushroom Nebula by more imaginative people than me. Cheers Ian Sh2
