Wow awesome!!! Look at that thing, that is amazing.. man my 8 inch now looks
like a paper weight haha
I cannot imagine what DSO's look like through that, at one of your star
parties I got to look through a members 16 inch meade and that was amazing,
cannot even imagine a 41 inch!
A 3 inch eyepiece? I didn't even know they made those, egads.
Thanks for the info. and pics, very awesome!!!!

Here's are two photos of Dan Bakken's magnificent 41-inch Dobsonian
"Hercules" telescope (which is the largest PORTABLE Dobsonian in the world).
Dan and his family was very gracious in letting others look through his
telescope last night at Fishtrap. One has to climb a ladder to look through
the HUGE 3" eyepiece!

Hercules is 41 inches???? Wow I didn't know that, I've seen you guys mention
it before but had no idea it was huge like that. I always assumed it was
like an 18-20 inch, which is still huge, but 41??????? Whoa!!!
Are there any photos of it?

I know that Michael Finch took some pictures of the nice aurora with his
cell phone. Dan Bakken was using his 41" Dobsonian ("Hercules") to look at
Messier Objects with his wife and daughters.

Awesome aurora tonight. Didn't last long though. M46 was a blast. Jupiter
was good.

Pretty bright aurora to the north. Apparently it is visible in the city in
darker spots. Good show at Fishtrap.
