[Lvas] Virgo Diamond Call For Help

[roger ivester]

LVAS all,


Rob, I wonder what the the "Virgo Diamond" would look like this weekend in the moonlight through your mallincam? What is your weather suppose to be? Do you have the time for this experiment?  

 

It would be interesting...remember these are stars and not faint galaxies. If it would look good enough I will send to S&T also...and explain the conditions.   

 

I definitely want to sent Dennis at S&T a picture using the mallingcam system for sure. If you could plan on getting this object at the earliest possible time toward the end of the month...I would greatly appreciate. 

 

Jim, I am counting on you for an image also??? 

 

Also at the earliest this month I would really appreciate all "visual" observers to view and take some of your best notes notes of this object. It would be great to have several doing this through a variety of scopes. Send your info to the forum but also send to my home e-mail as I will review and forward.

 

Information required:

 

1.Name 

2.Location

3.Scope with size

4.Magnification including type of eyepiece

5.Conditions (be sure that your scope is properly cooled and look at a star at 100x and notice if it is stable, moving, bloated, soft or is a perfect in-focus star?  

 

Thanks Roger
