Omega Centauri crosses the meridian about 10:00pm on May 23, 9:00pm on
June 8, and 8:00pm on June 23 (sunset). So it will be high enough
to see for the next couple of weeks, but the moon will interfere.
<br><br>
The next weekend without a moon (June 13), it will be well past the
meridian by the time the sky gets dark enough to try for it.<br><br>

Yup, can't wait to get a peek at it. I hope it's still up by next month.
Does anyone know?<br>

Fred and all,<br>
<br>
I am going to present more comparative views with different telescopes in
the future. <br>
<br>
Re: Omega Centauri; The 4-inch did resolve any of the stars. The surface
was very smooth, with "absolutely" no detail at
all. <br>
<br>
The 12-inch resolved many stars, and the surface was very mottled. Fred,
I feel sure that a 16-inch would have presented a view similar to a
photograph. <br>
<br>
I am going to go back and look at Rob's image through his mallincam from
Death Valley. <br>

I cheated and looked on the card, but still, the detail is distinctly
different between the two. I haven't yet seen it and it's looking more
and more like I'll have to wait until next year to try for it.<br>

A sketch of Omega Centauri, 20 minutes N of Boiling Springs, North
Carolina at an approximate, +35° 15' latitude.<br>
<br>
One sketch with a 4-inch refractor and another using a 12-inch reflector,
9mm Nagler at 170x. <br>
<br>
Can you identify which sketch is which?<br>
