Nexus II Review Aug 29 2020 11:54 AM by xrayvizhen SUMMARY: The Nexus II is an outstanding piece of equipment that allows anyone to use their Smartphone or tablet and see where their telescope is precisely pointed. It is an extremely cost effective and easy way for someone to add digital setting circles and a “Push-To” function to just about any telescope. Dear Cloudy Nights members,Effective immediately, signature lines will be restricted to a maximum of 1000 characters and 8 lines. As before, we will still allow a maximum of 2 images (100 x 600 px) in sig lines. Please feel free to PM any o...

New Moon Telescopes 20”F/3.3 Review Aug 23 2020 06:37 PM by ilan_shapira This instrument answers to all my requirements from a big dob and is mostly used during my dark site trips.While double stars and planets are not the specialty of this scope, it handles them fairly well, but requires extra good conditions - backyard usage is not optimal as atmospheric disturbances dramatically affect the views.DSOs is where this instrument excels and provides the best performance under dark skies, especially with faint galaxies.During my last dark site session, after the COVID-19 restrictions lifted, I had barely time to observe myself as others lined up to view instead. FIELD TEST OF THE BAADER MAXBRIGHT® II BINOVIEWER May 09 2020 07:38 PM by wapaolini Overall, using the MaxBright II Binovewer has been a transformative experience for me. I have been binoviewing with my telescopes for well over a decade, but the experience has never been what I would call a pleasant one due to the myriad of quirks I find when using the William Optics Binoviewers. However, with the MaxBright II Binoviewer all the issues I previously encountered are now fully resolved, making my experience binoviewing for the first time entirely enjoyable. My Experience using SkyWatch for the Alphea All Sky Camera from Alcor Systems Mar 05 2020 02:17 PM by TeslaTrek The Alphea 6CL AllSky Camera is a well-made ruggedized outdoor color camera with equally ruggedized connectors. There is no bubble level to aid vertical alignment. The Alphea camera is very expensive given the accompanying SkyWatch software is not reliable and the user interface not well thought out. The software has the feel of an explorative research project into what can be done with an AllSkyCam. The overall slow performance is unimpressive. I discovered many bugs and quirks. It includes many features, which are not well documented. This along with almost non-existent user support makes for an expensive and frustrating AllSky Camera experience. Given the present state of the software, the user might want to consider AllSkyEye.In summary, given all the issues I found with SkyWatch, I would still look forward to a significant software update because SkyWatch does show much promise.

My experience using two 80-millimeter long-focus refractors Dec 13 2019 09:26 PM by caussade The Orion and TMB refracting telescopes are both a joy to use, and will undoubtedly stay with me for life. I sometimes get offers to sell but have politely declined; as the reader will suspect, the thought of a sale has never entered my mind. GSO 8-inch TRUE CASSEGRAIN Dec 13 2019 08:43 PM by Larry Carlino GSO Cass can be regarded as somewhat of a specialist instrument. Its excellent overall optical quality, fine lunar and planetary performance, reasonable size and weight, and bargain price make it a fine choice where sterling deep-sky and rich-field capability are not a priority. It is a good alternative to much pricier 5 to 6-inch apochromatic refractors for both visual and ccd work. In the price- to- performance ratio, I don't see anything in its price range that comes close (except, perhaps for a high-quality long-focus Newtonian [but try to find one!]) as a dedicated lunar and planetary instrument. Celestron Regal 65ED M2 Oct 16 2019 10:17 PM by Riccardo_italy There is at the moment a heated discussion on Cloudynights about spotting scopes. I can only confirm my initial impressions: for a dual day&night scope, a good quality spotting scope is, IMHO, a very good choice. The scope performs nicely also for astronomy, and not only for daytime use. I do not agree with people that says a spotting scope cannot be used for astronomy. Review: The Vixen FL55ss Sep 08 2019 05:31 PM by Hesiod Overall judge the FL55ss a good product. As a wide field astrograph is very proficient and easy to use, so would suggest it wholeheartedly, even to beginners (usually at this stages apreture does not matter, while the clever Vixen mini-refractor is very user-friendly and, at 300mm, gives a more forgiving sampling than the popular 60-80mm rebranded models). PrimaLuceLab Eagle Review Jul 29 2019 09:22 PM by chriscorkill After using the Eagle for about three years I can comfortably say I would purchase this product all over again. Seeing the product in person and being able to hold it in my hand really helped with my decision to make my purchases with PrimaLuceLab. With it's ease of use, safety, customer support and conveniences, I say that this is a winner in my book. I would give this product a 9/10 stars.
