Moving On Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I have a 2” barlow and adapter for the Pentax Digital. I’ll probably get an adapter for the film cameras as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_drawbridge Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Today was vintage car and railway day. Here are a few pics from the railway; I used a Nikon FE fitted with a 35-70mm Osawa MC f/3.5-4.5 lens and the film was Ilford FP4 Plus developed in PMK Pyro Loco 001 Brake Loco 002 Westinghouse 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 I really enjoy the trains, Rick. We have a spring Railroad Festival in the nearby town of Amory, MS. that I must visit again. The last time I went, my oldest son (now 26) was still in a stroller.

Moving On Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 As an aside per previous conversation, here are a couple of pictures of my biggest lens and a nice comfortable observation stool. Looking forward to trying some astro stuff when I get back up to Missouri.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to trying some astro stuff when I get back up to Missouri.... Nice looking scope, Moving On. Never quite got one that big, although I owned a Meade 2080 for a few years, but sold it to a college student who really wanted a Schmidt Cassegrain. I use my Celestron Nextstar 6SE a lot and when I need a wider field I use the Celestron f 6.3 reducer/corrector for that purpose. For more portability I have a couple of Orion Apex Maks: The 90 and 127. I use them with a Vixen Porta II or a mount that I cobbled together out of a video tripod and a table top Dobsonian mount. I have a 37 year old Celestron 90 with drive and wedge which was my first serious telescope. Also have an Orion Short Tube 80 for traveling. I'm still considering larger, but likely a large Dob as six inches is as large as I care to go with a SCT or a MAK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moving On Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I went with the Dob for the 2" wide field focus, no need for power, and it is collapsable. I think when it comes to viewing it's hard to beat for light gathering bang for the buck. No auto tracking or computerized locating. It is a hoot to find deep space objects though and the wide field Tellevue is the closest you'll get to star walking through a lens. Though certainly not the best for astro photography, I intend to explore its limited capabilities.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 Been lukewarm about computer tracking but the 6SE was the biggest SCT that I cared to own. Easily adaptable for eclipse, lunar, and planetary photography. I do enjoy "star hopping" with the Orion Apex 127 (5" MAK) on the Vixen mount. Even with sodium vapor streetlamps i can still spot the Ring Nebula in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympus 35 RC with Ilford FP4+. Guessed at exposure since the meter went south quite some time ago. morning sun, underexposed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
