I think Mark and Rich have the correct scenario regarding any future 1278 production or 1278 ED lens upgrades. I remember a conversation with Bill that dates...
Scott; From the fights that Bill had with a lot of those focusers on the 1278, per a conversation I had with him, I get the impression that it was a royal pain...
Hi Rich. I should have clarified my post more clearly. When I indicated I preferred the 1278 mechanicals to Synta mechanicals I was referring to the 1278...
Scott; I was referring to the Crayfords put out by Long Perng and GSO as the decent refractor Crayfords from Taiwan/China, not the Synta one on their ED...
Hi all: Just wanted to give a little praise to the Burgess outfit. I was the guy who bought that "one or a kind" 6 inch archo Bill offered during the garage...
If this is a possiblility then put me on the WANT list. Manny ... 127/8??? ... cold ... before ... rated 127 ... whether ... an ... doublet? I ... version of...
Hi- My wife and I are planning to catch up with Bill and Tammy at Fall Creek Falls next week for the TN Spring Star Party. Is anyone else from the group is...
Hi there Elison4, I had forgotten that Bill had at least one prototype 6"F8 achro. It sounds as you got a hold of a real nice scope. I've looked at Alnitak...
Hi Kevin, Fall Creek Falls is beautiful park and the skies are great. There will also be a great lineup of speakers, so be sure to give them a listen too. All...
This is all assuming the wx cooperates, not a give this time of year, even in that neck of the woods. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you guys.....BR Allen...
I do not know. The Telescope Services TMB claim certainly looks suspicious and might warrant a threat of legal action unless they have obtained the eyepieces...
I would certainly not patronize a suspect copycat seller… and- if all this is true, I hope that action is taken to ensure it is stopped. Wes Atlantic Beach....
You are right Mark. It was not 1502, but rather 2158 (according to S&T Pocket Atlas). I think 1502 is embedded in Kemble's Cascade. Sorry for the error. I...
Unfortunately apparently a lot of Chinese manufacturers refuse to sign exclusive contracts with customers even when the design is the customer's and he has...
Allen- Is there a schedule available for the speakers? I want to hear them but also want to get in some hiking & photography in the park. I didn't see any...
I was seriously considering head over to this star party, but it is an 8 hour drive for me, and when I went to the website, there was no info whatsoever. NONE....
Come join us at the 2007 Shingletown Star party from July 9 -16, 2007! Located on an unused airstrip at an altitude of 4,000 feet in Northern California, this...
Kevin and Mike, I’m sorry the speaker schedule has not been posted on our website. We had some last minute changes and I thought it had been uploaded to the...
Tom Back just wrote back to me to confirm that the only eyepieces of his design currently sold are the Burgess / TMB Planetaries, the Burgess / TMB Paragons...
The eyepieces are now popping on many european astro dealers websites, frequently with "producent: TMB" or "TMB Planetary" designation. Time to write to...
It depends. If someone is reselling a Burgess / TMB Planetary Series eyepiece as a Burgess / TMB Planetary Series eyepiece, it is not necessarily illegal: in ...
We don't know if these "clones" are illegal production from the OEM, or if they're knock offs by someone else. If they are from the OEM, they could be ones...
