Aside from a public event to view the planets in late June, my last opportunity to observe was on March 14. I'd acquired several new items in that time that I...
Thanks for sharing, Kevin. I hope you get the chance to get some more good viewing in soon (Mars is starting to look nice) and will continue to share with the...
I had about an hour tonight to experiment with the 127mm refractor. I wanted to check its performance on the brighter objects so I chose Jupiter and Arcturus....
Nice report Kevin. I too remain very impressed with the Burgess 1278 OTA. I observed with mine for the first time in several weeks a couple of nights ago. I...
Do us all a favor, will ya'? Be bored more often. Decent write-up. I agree with your BV experience, but even if all you use it for is the Moon, it's well worth...
As I have been saying since the first one, this is the best achro built/produced to this point in time. I've stopped comparing it against other achro's 'cause...
... I have one on the way. I received an email from FedExp yesterday saying a package is being delivered tomorrow. The sale version 6mm is one of the things...
Burgess Optical is shipping lens cap covers to purchasers of the 70mm mak scope. Purchasers should be receiving the caps within the next two weeks. Burgess...
To All, I received my pair of 6mm EPs yesterday. Last night the clouds rolled in around 6 PM. Early mooring Mars had been great all week with steady skies...
One nice feature of the new Burgess Crayford focuser is that the main body of the focuser and the tube adapter are separate parts that are held together by 3...
Good report. Up til now you had to pay three hundred bucks for the excellent Moonlight collimatable focuser if for instance you wanted to use a Chromacorr with...
Doug; Based on a email from Tom, the Burgess web guru, Burgess apparently did not even realize this collimation capability was allowed by the focuser's...
Hi Gang, Received my 6mm EP yesterday from High Point. Fantastic looking construction and coatings. Very similar size and shape to a Televue 13mm Nagler....
Just thought I'd get a pair of 6mm Planetary's for either binoviewing or for use as high power eps in my scopes - for either bino viewing or monoviewing the...
Hi All: I see Bill and Thomas will be at the Black Forest Star Party? Any news as to what they will be showing there? This is my not so clever way of asking...
It's not the mosquitos since when I go out with my Burgess 102F6 I'm usually wearing a long sleeve shirt and a pair of long pants. No, it's the humidity....
I spoke to Bill the other day re; his BFSP attendance. In MY not-so-suttle way, all that can be said is that there will be several items on display. As far as...
Mark, Summer nights are not always the best viewing depending on where you are. I think the best viewing is in the fall, when weather conditions in the...
Hi all: This is one great scope! I knew it was good even before nightfall. I tested it first on a Christmas tree ornament (artificial star) at 800 yards. The...
Dear Bill: I am glad you are happy with your new scope. I hope you will continue to share observing reports with the List! Best regards, Norm ... [Non-text...
Mark; One of the reasons I retired to Reno Nevada was the low humidity. Our biggest summer viewing problem is the dirty air caused by dust and the smoke from...
Hi Rich and Charlie Rich, I'll probably always live somewhere in the Southeast since most of my family is around Jacksonville Florida and most of Laura's is...
Hi All, I took my new pair of 6mm Planetary EPs out for a quick spin around Jupiter tonight. I used my TAK FS-128 so no optical correctors were needed. I...
David, Not really. The eyepiece has a built-in Barlow element in the barrel. I've not been a fan of the recessed barrels myself, but once TeleVue started...
