Idle Sunday binocular project…

As my Helios 10*50s don't have any way of attaching nebula filters I thought I'd have a go at seeing if I could implement some kind of bodge... A spare pair of objective caps with a hole cut in the middle took care of holding the filters in place, and a pair of…

Field of view calculator

So, yeah ... I was messing around with Figma AI yesterday, and thought I'd see if it could develop anything relevant or useful to the astro community. I began by asking it to develop a Field of View calculator that would allow the user to customise the equipment, and then…

Comparing the un-comparable C11 versus 10-inch Newtonian All the while I was in Namibia (December 2025 to mid-January 2026) and using the Celestron C11, I was constantly thinking “I wish I had my Dob here”. While the views of Saturn, Jupiter, the Moon, and bright nebulae and open clusters were great with the C11, there were moments of disappointment.
