I am selling my Astro-Physics 6" f/12 refractor and AP900 mount, together or separately. I know it's a long shot, but I hoped to find some local interest to...
Hi Mike, Alright, what going on? Your new TAK must be ready to ship or something. I can't believe your selling this scope. What a beauty!!! Wish I could ...
The 6" AP refractor sold in just hours on Astromart ! I actually have a backup buyer. and get this, a backup for him. (( Translation: I should have asked for...

I found the easiest way to keep track of the ISS orbit and position is to go to http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/station Works for anyone anywhere in the world....
I want to get an Ha filter but am appalled at the prices. Is one available at a cost that doesn't require taking out a 2nd mortgage to pay for it. Also I...
The Coronado PST is the most affordable h-alpha scope going right now. It could ride piggy-back on your SCT! Coronado makes the best solar scopes and filters...
Thank you, Chris. I'll take a look at the Coronado. By the way, I've already had an unpleasant learning experience with Thousand Oaks regarding a standard...
I think the Halpha stuff for sale at alpineastro.com looks really interesting also. Huge apertures for lots of resolution and a fraction of Coronado costs...
Thank you, Mike. I'll check it out. I can't decide if I want a scope like the Coronado piggybacked on my SCT or go with a filter directly on the SCT as is the...
I have a Coronado 40mm filter set that I use on my 80ED refractor. If I had to do it over again I think I would have purchased a complete Coronado solar scope...
I picked up a pair of the 15x70 since I had a pair of 7x50's already. Now I need to figure out how to hold them steady. I asked about good pan/tilt tripod...
I would love to try it. Maybe we should meet up in August for a "return to darkness" peek at the sky. I think I might be binoculars only until October. Mike ...
Mike, Sure. I'll know my Aug schedule in a couple of days. The T-mount is very smooth - I use it in a bino chair setup but you could try it on my surveyor...
If you don't mind some more company, I've been curious about binocular mounts too. I've got a pair of 20x80. Tried them on a camera tripod, but looking up is a...
Sounds great, the more the merrier, 20x80's would be very cool to try. _____ From: btwoern@... [mailto:btwoern@...] Sent: Monday, July 24, 2006 10:44...
The T mount sounds great, I'll try and dig it up on google. Are you waiting on a scope or part? Yep I'll be without mount until November (as I recall) and...
-, and I'm trying to figure out what grab and go ... Woody, I'm not too sure what refractor you have but I use a Takahashi Teegul alt/az mount for my "grab and...
Scott, That Tak Teegul mount looks nice - are the slow motion controls motorized? What is a reasonable weight limit on a sturdy collapsible tripod? What grab...
Hello Everybody, Nice to see some E Mails from the group. Glad to know I'm not the only one ready for some dark skies. I was fishing down on the Kenai this...
