I second Roland's comments. Excellent detail captured, perhaps too wide a pixel diameter was used for unsharp mask. The larger pixel radius tends to boost...
I wonder what an 8" Alvin Clark would go for? You ever look through an AC? I have looked through a 24" 12" 6" and I must say that is color correction is your...
Thanks for the comments. I was a little worried about overprocessing. I had actually backed off a bit on the unsharp mask from my first attempt. It's...
I wasn't questioning if the scope was worth whatever a buyer might pay for it - value or worth is whatever a buyer and seller agree it is. Heck, as an owner of...

What the hey, look at it as fun now and an IRA for when you get old and your eyes or back fail. I love using the AP scopes & they beat the heck out of any...
I saw an eBay auction for an Astro-Physics 155 yesterday. The one-day auction already had some bidders by the time I found it. Strangely, the seller used the...

Hi all, Another image with Rick Auerbach's 10" scope. The seeing gods smiled upon the city of Tucson last night. This was just processed quickly last night...
... That's some fantastic stuff. You've got to be bumping up against the capabilities of 10" of aperture. Suggest a larger APO now ! :) Huygens crater is as...
