"Professor Goddard does not know the relation between action and reaction and the need to have something better than a vacuum against which to react. He seems to lack the basic knowledge ladled out daily in high schools."
--1921 New York Times editorial about Robert Goddard's revolutionary rocket work.

"Correction: It is now definitely established that a rocket can function in a vacuum. The 'Times' regrets the error."
NY Times, July 1969.

What scope did you take this with, tiny image. Certainly not the 14"?? Nice image. What is that star group just to the right, any particular formation?

Gene, this was the 14 using hyperstar and the QHY8 camera. So the 14 inch was at F/2 with this configuration. I can't wait to get more time on this.

Nice sweet little shot Dave
