[ATMoB-discuss] observing with the 32

[Mario E. Motta]

Well, the cloud gods finally ended my penance, and got a good night of 
observing in with the new 32 incher here in gloucester.
Did some final collimating, and ... it looked real good!

Not sure if its the best it can be yet because the jet stream was over 
us last night, but.... was observing many planetary nebulas at 700 power 
and looked pretty good! Found lots of galaxies in pegasus region, great! 
Globulars look real good at same! There isn't a globular in the sky I 
could not resolve to the core. Went to 1032 power, stars a bit bloated now.
The Vail will blow you away. Looks like a long exposure image. Best seen 
with the 41mm panoptic I won at stellafane last year (about 120 power). 
Looks like a panoramic view, just fantastic.
Will work to attach 6 inch next week, then maybe do some imaging. 
Computers and sofware nearly done.
