Minimum distance of object

[Jacques]

What is the minimum distance of an object on earth that I can put in focus with a 102 mm aperture refractor telescope with and focal ratio of 7 ?

Since you do not seem to be getting replies to your first post, I suggest it might arouse some interest if you explained why you want this information, and perhaps try a few experiments yourself and post the results.

I am sorry your first post has not been a great hit, but please do not give up, and I hope to see you around soon.

Welcome and best wishes,

Cat

Please go ahead and remove the question.

Thank you

I cannot remove it. Please don't leave the forum so precipitously.

I was only trying to bring you in. You are very welcome.

I am not leaving the forum. Just want to remove that question.

 

[Catastrophe]

Have you checked to see whether you can remove it yourself?

One way might be to select content and delete.

I don't know for sure. Never had to try.

Generally speaking, we do not delete threads that have responses. However, we can lock and close a thread so no one else can respond.

Please Wolfshadw, Sir. A question.

I have just removed a post, although a full stop (for example) was necessary to fill the space.
I am not posting how as you may not wish me to do that. I replaced the post afterwards.

Is this a loophole which should be blocked, or is it generally allowable?

@Catastrophe

If I remember correctly, you can remove any of your Posts within a Thread. However, the rules for Thread deletion are different, Once created, I do not believe it can be deleted by anyone but the Senior Moderators or Community Managers.

I apologize for the lack of clarity. However I moderate several forums and the rules are slightly different for each.

Wolfshadw, Sir.

Yes, a poster can remove their own content here, leaving a (nearly) empty post.
Nothing more that I know of

@Catastrophe - Yes, a user can edit their posts to next to nothing or meaningless dribble (a practice we REALLY frown upon), but the cannot delete them completely.

I have just found that I can (and did) delete an accidentally duplicated post. I don't think you would object to that. There was a delete option.

As I said. Settings differ from forum to forum, so...

Thanks for taking the time to check this out!
