CN Report: DGM Optics GCE Filter
By David Knisely

Broadband "Light Pollution" filters have often been the subject of some discussion or even heated debate among amateur astronomers when it comes to their effectiveness.

[User Review]  | 01/16/12 | by Ray Sanders

[User Review]  | 01/13/12 | by Paul Lawler
This is a book that doesn’t just come along once in a lifetime or once in a century, but once in two centuries. To my knowledge, not since William Hershel . . .

C6-SGT Review
[User Review]  | 01/16/12 | by Haseeb Modi
As long as newcomers to astrophotography learn to understand the limitations of this basic set-up and are prepared to undertake this journey, the adventure would be both exciting and rewarding.
Orion SkyQuest XT8 Classic Dobsonian Telescope
[User Review]  | 01/16/12 | by Ray Sanders
In Summary, the Orion XT8 is a great mid-range telescope which balances price and performance quite well. Despite Orion classifying this telescope as an “Intermediate” telescope, the XT8 would be an excellent choice for a beginning astronomer, or even an experienced observer looking to add a new scope to their fleet.
Book Review: The Complete Guide to the Herschel Objects: Sir William Herschel's Star Clusters,Nebulae and Galaxies
[User Review]  | 01/13/12 | by Paul Lawler
This is a book that doesn’t just come along once in a lifetime or once in a century, but once in two centuries. To my knowledge, not since William Hershel created his catalogs between 1786 and 1802 has there been a comprehensive volume written by someone who has personally observed each and every one of the Hershel objects (and like Hershel, without the aid of electronics).
Book Review: Practical Astronomy with your Calculator or Spreadsheet (4th edition)
[User Review]  | 01/12/12 | by Michael Coren
All in all, this book does a good job at what it sets out to do. The formulas and algorithms are presented clearly and with an appropriate level of detail, and the spreadsheets supplement the text by showing an additional way to perform the computations without having to resort to a scientific calculator or writing your own programs.
ATN Aries MK 390 Paladin Night Vision Rifle Scope Review
[User Review]  | 01/12/12 | by Ed Moreno
In summary, understanding that this is a rifle scope and accepting that because of this it might be bigger and heavier than the average person might desire, I would have to give it a high recommendation.
Review: The Parks 50mm Plossl 2" Eyepiece vs. the Antares 52mm Erfle 2" Eyepiece
[User Review]  | 01/10/12 | by Don French
I chose the Antares 52mm for its wider views and ease of use. I really wanted a Japanese version of a long focal length eyepiece, but the images won me to the Antares.
Black Beauty - Introducing the Skylight f/15m
[User Review]  | 01/10/12 | by Neil English
It produces textbook diffraction patterns that are seldom seen in larger telescopes, even of high quality. And there are literally hundreds of targets that are a joy to track down with this instrument; all it takes is a little bit of preparation.
THE KAGUYA LUNAR ATLAS: The Moon in High Resolution
[User Review]  | 01/08/12 | by Thomas Watson
The book presents a collection of 100 high definition images from the Kayuga mission. Each image includes a lengthy caption – presumably written by Prof. Wood – on the geology and lunar history illustrated by the selected images.
The Magnificent Meade 127ED
[User Review]  | 12/06/11 | by Neil English
I came across an advert for a used Meade 127ED refractor. Not the current triplet, but the older doublet; the units advertised in the major astro-magazines throughout the 1990s. They were drool-worthy alight, stylized as they were astride a nicely designed LXD 600/650 mount. And the user testimonies, in retrospect, were intriguing too.
Comparative review of 2 solar filters for the 50mm Galileoscope
[User Review]  | 12/06/11 | by Joel Barnett
I am reviewing two solar filters, specifically marketed for the 50mm Galileoscope.
