Old "Jake" had a much better star field. That would be a Brent question but I think in order to get brighter, i.e., Jupiter, they have to go to a bigger image. On Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 9:31 AM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:

They have star shows. They have a newdigistar projector. It's no better than the old digistar. We took the grandkids and I was again thoroughly disappointed in the quality of the star images. Bright stars are big blobs, Jupiter looked like a big nebula, the narator made several mistakes, i.e., did you know the Milky Way has 300 "trillion" stars in it. The operators struggled through the program. Purists will be disapointed.
There's no excuse for untrained operators. Could the imaging shortcomings be solved with software fixes? _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
