Nice to know it's not just me.

If it wasn't broke ...

Before it was taken over by OrganicChemistryData.org there was C13 NMR shifts data on the Hans Reich site. Now there are only stubs. Will this be fixed?

Follow-up. I queried Starizona about the NightOwl status. They replied it's still being worked on. IMHO they should update the web page on their progress.

Sadly, I wouldn't hold my breath. In the past I thought Starizona hinted at a new design. Have you contacted Starizona recently. Leaving customers in limbo is poor customer relations.

At the heart of the Virgo Cluster is the Markarian's Chain, a string of a dozen galaxies. My image contains it and dozens more outside it. The cluster contains nearly 2000. 🤩

If you're referring to sharpness:
1. Collimate periodically. I use a 2" convex sideview stick on mirror about 400 ft away reflecting a street light as an artificial
star. 2. Celestron Motor focus.

Lunar craters named after women

Interesting. Found this MIT list web.mit.edu/tripathi/www... and will check my own lunar images for catches.

"All those stars we’ll never get counted or understood. "
Why would you say that? Stars are balls of gas & plasma with dense cores where heat generating fusion creates heavier elements. Spectra show us their composition. Astrophysicists understand a lot.
