After a year and a bit i finally gave the club scope back to Paul. I am building a new deck
and have no safe place to store her, so back to her nice trailer she goes.
I have enjoyed every minute looking thru her. Lately, the Saturn, Mars and Antares placing
in the sky has provided me with really good looks of both planets and a look at Antares
companion star. This one you have to look at, it's green color is amazing. Lots of times,
when the seeing was good, I could crank up the magnification to over 500 up to 786X,
and the image never degraded. In the 8 Ethos, with the parracor and 2x powermate,
I have filled the entire view with just the Great Red Spot itself! And of course Saturn
looks... awesome!
I hope to see/use her at the Merritt event coming up. Make sure you drop by to take
a look though her. When you do, remember you are looking at one of the best mirrors
ever made by an amateur club. Victor did us well.
And why the "Her"? Gotta be girl, only something that hot could give such great views!
