Celestial Events
|
|
|
Welcome to Celestial Events, a bulletin board for announcements about currently or soon to be observable astronomical events. Need a finder chart for that bright comet? Want to know when the next meteor shower will peak? Looking for suggestions on what to observe? Visit regularly for answers to all your questions about what's happening now in the celestial show.
If folks want to discuss these events, the staff of Cloudy Nights invites you to start or join a thread in the appropriate observing forum. Celestial Events is for announcements, only.

Classic Telescopes
(8 viewing)
|
|
|
Telescopes from an era gone by. The place to discuss older telescopes. Antiques, flea market finds, and scopes from grandpa's attic. From the 1780's to the 1980's - refractors, reflectors, and early SCT's. Fine classics like Clark and Zeiss to nostalgic favorites like Sears, Cave, Edmund, and Unitron are fair game. Discussing all aspects of restoring, collecting, and observing with older scopes.
