I hope this is the correct place to post this question.

During the Star Party events beginning Nov 8th, does anyone know if there will be any education or demonstrations on astrophotography? A friend and I would like to attend an event where we can see some astrophotograpy and ask some questions.

Last night the wife and I were sitting in the hot tub. I saw a meteorite come down on the next street over. It was still burning white when it disappeared below the roof line of the neighbors house. I'm sure it made it to the ground. I mentally marked where I saw it go down. Today I went and looked ...

If you're looking for planetarium info, including building and restoring planetariums, the best source of info on the entire Internet is located at http://www.observatorycentral.com/index.php?showforum=6 Its a shameless plug for the forum where I spend most of my time, but it really is the most acti...

Awesome! Thank you!

Go big or go home huh? What scope are you planning on putting in there? Sounds like you are going to have a nice setu...

Hi Ron, When I bought my Explora-Dome I drove to the factory in Litchfield to pick it up. Boy, that's a beautiful area! Are the skies pretty dark in the area? Anyone looking for an inexpensive observatory should check them out. I just checked their site and the domes are $650. I paid less when I bou...
