Hi guys, I have a 6mm Planetary and I would like to change the retaining rings. Problem is, I am overseas (in Singapore!), and Burgess only take phone calls....
And a Happy 2006 to you, too, Mark. May you learn twice as much this year as you did last year. BTW, you didn't mention Open's or Double or Major stars. That...

Rob; My personal grab & go is a SV Nighthawk 80mm F6 on a Vixen Porta Mount. Total weight is under 20 pounds and the Porta mount has slow motions in both...
Thanks Rich and Kevin both. I used to have an 80mm Nighthawk and have regretted selling it ever since-and that's probably the way I'll go(I upgraded to the...

Hi, Ok..thank you very much. I will first contact the original owner and see if he has the rings. If he does not have it, I will need to get it from Burgess...
Hi Bill, I heard a lot of good things about the 1278. I just bought a used one recently. Still waiting for it to arrive. I have owned quite a number of scopes...
For minimal size and weight I would consider the Stellarvue light altazimuth mount on their new travel tripod. I have not personally tried it but a couple of...

... Hi Rich, The field stop on the TMB 40mm Paragon is 46mm. That makes it about as big as you can make a 2" eyepiece's real field of view. Thomas Back...
Thomas, Congratulations! Wonderful news. I am looking forward to looking through one (or more) of these eyepieces. However, one issue I haven't seen anything...
