Re: First contrails: bright spot

Hello

as mentioned above, this problem is caused by the barlow lense.
I had the same Barlow and upgraded to a Televue 2x Powermate. Quality makes a huge difference although the price is quite high. Now i need more practise to focus faster and more accurate ;)

Re: New to Contrail Spotting

My Skywatcher arrived today ;), after 30min it was ready ;), but now my Lumix FZ35/38 wont fit with the Superview 30mm which has a M57 thread, even with the Standard Adapter which comes with the camera it doesnot fit :( (like 1mm too small) I have now purchased this adaptor, think its the correct on...

Re: VIE 30/08/2012 / 42 PICS

Welcome to Luchtzak, Fabjo, and thanks for sharing. It's unusual, I guess, to see an LH A340 in VIE. Which route is it flying? Same question for the Welcome aeroplane (I think it's a Do328?). Hi The Lufthansa A340 only flew in July and August to support the Austrian fleet Vienna - Dubai. I flew on ...

Re: New to Contrail Spotting

Hi thank you for your help ! the Skywatcher 2" super-deluxe ED Barlow lens was recommended by Astroshop for my Camera as it is the only one which is compatible with a non DSLR Camera and a Superview. I think the Barlow for a non DSLR makes more sense for planetary observations. Will see, should...
