Ok Guys, I fixed the problem. I purchased a my own Star and the ISS is going to haul in in close to Arcturus so I can easily use it. Thanks to everyone for...
Donald; To make the dwarf star just collect together the material and put it under maximum pressure, i.e. tell it that it is going to receive a full IRS audit...
Rich: Wide smile, if a bit painful. We were audited I think four times in a five-year period in the eighties. <sigh> It never cost us anything extra as, when I...
Per a conversation with BB a week ago it is still in the works. I figure that his vendors are being difficult but that is strictly speculation based on reports...
Focuser upgrade? How about the promised fine focuser that was suppose to come with the 127mm's. Has this gone away or Bill just forgot to send them out?...
... suppose ... Bill has offered options on the fine focuser that have been posted on his website for the past two and a half months (since June 17). They've...
... find ... F15 ... Hi Rich: I got the MoonLite dual focus CF2, I was surprised by the quality. How much better is the Feathertouch than the MoonLite? I am...
William; Hard for me to compare as my Feathertouch is the 3.5" I.D. rack and pinon version that is standard on the TEC 140 Apo while my Moonlite is the CF2s 2"...
Has anyone done any side-by-side testing of these eyepieces? I'm very curious as to how they stack up against the UO Classics and the UO HDs. Thanks, Charles...
TY; Bill presented several options regarding the fine focuser in a posting some time ago so you need to contact him directly to let him know your preference....
I have called Burgess Optical twice in the past few months asking when the promised fine focusers would be shipped to 1278 owners. The first time I called I...
I was wondering if anyone has heard from Jim Nadeau of NightSky Telescopes? He lives in Lacombe La. near all the hurricane devastation. We're hoping all is...
Dear Charlie: Our thoughts, prayers, and best wishes go out to Jim and his entire family as well as to ALL victims of the unbelievable devastation wrought...
Yes Norm, As we watch the coverage of this awful devastation, we are reminded of just how lucky we are. As a family, we are donating water and supplies as well...
Last night gave my new Burgess SWA 38mm eyepiece first light at a dark sky site. All viewing was with a 140mm F7 TEC Apo refractor. A very nice eyepiece IMO,...
There has been no mention for quite some time if this is still a future product for BO...it appears the 101mm is still in development BUT the 90mm seems to...
Dear Rob: Thanks for the update I know Iım still waiting for my 9mm (and some other goodies) to arrive from Burgess and imagine that the quiet is probably...
Well, it was that time of year again and Bill, Tammy and the Burgess gang were out in force at this year's event. Your not-so-humble narrator spent some...
Hi Norm, My 9mm is due on 9/15. I'll have the 6" refractor setup and waiting for it! Darren in Bakersfield ... (and some other ... probably due ... and/or...
I left a message while they were at the star party for the diagonal, but i'm not sure if I nailed one or not. I'll have to give them a call. Rob ... some other...

Dear Darren: Cool! Iıll be waiting for your ³first light² report then on the 9mm Planetary eyepiece to be filed with us on say, oh, 9/16? ;-)) LOL!! Not...
... I'm sorry to hear that reaching Bill continues to be a problem. I spoke to him after his return from BFSP last week about a number of things, including...
Hi, Although this post is about Burgess equipment, it's maybe slightly off topic - i know 99% of posts are astronomy related. I have recommended these tmb...
