Premium eyepieces (Naglers, Panoptics, Radians, XWs, etc) are always a safe recommendation if they can be afforded. While many of these cost as much or more...
The ad featuring this special is on the back last month's Astronomy Technology Today, and the magazine just arrived on the west coast last week. So as to allow...
I think the other Burgess Optical dealers are offering the same special. Thanks, Bob Buy one Paragon get on Planetary Extended to 7/15/2007 The ad featuring...
Higher power eyepieces show seeing problems with all scopes but the 120x you are talking about with the 10mm Plossl inj your 8" is not that high. A member of...
I do not know why we cannot get even the most basic information and specifications like added light path numbers. Surely this type of information is known as...
In a preproduction item, of any type, the specs can change from one prototype to the next. Listing light path or clear aperture before having decided on one...
Hello Craig, I was browsing my Collimation folder and came across this from you to Jay. The reason for this message is your rather strange comments that you...
While I realize this is a Burgess products board, does anybody have any experience (or opinions) with Meade's LX200R 10" telescopes? I have been doing some...
Jay; Firstly the LX200R is not based on the RC design no matter what Meade's advertising says. It is a reduced coma SCT design as no RC has ever had a front...
I'm impressed. To the extent that anyone could be called a competitor of Astrophysics, this forum's purpose is the support of a competitor. I a thread...
Roland, Can you make a recommendation for a good telescope for both visual and astrophotography in the $2k-$4k range? Keep in mind that I need to purchase a...
Everyone's needs are different, so I could not recomend a scope/mount for you. You will have to do some research or look around at local amateur setups in your...
Jay: I own a Celestron Nexstar 11 GPS with very good optics (for an SCT). Once in a while I install my Meade LPI or DSI and get pretty good results with my...
George, Thanks for your opinion....its good to hear from people who are willing to talk about their equipment and give an opinion. But you raised a point that...
Jay, I would agree with the opinion on using an APO (66mm-102mm) for deepsky imaging. Their wide field and fast focal ratio allows you to capture the entire...
At the Green Bank Star party this weekend, I met Bill, Tammy and Harry again and as usual Bill talked my ears off about all the new products. First, I must say...
Hello, I'm new to this group, and reintroduced myself to astronomy recently with a SV 80mmNHNG. I purchased a 7mm and a 9mm Planetary eyepieces for my scope...
Hi Larry: http://www.tmboptical.com/ http://www.iteastronomy.com/products/telescopes/guide.php?cat=TEL%20AG Those are a couple of places to look for normal...
Larry, I enjoy the 40mm Paragon in my Nighthawk (f/6) and in a 10-inch f/4.5 dob. It provides a wide field with pinpoint stars, a neutral (white) color...
Hi Daniel: I was just checking to see if you recieved your scope yet? I have been waiting, but so far, have seen it. I guess I was thining that we would have...
... smaller ... Thanks. That's the kind of info I want. Currently I have the 7mm and 9mm Planetaries, and like their flat, sharp fields of view. The 6mm is...
... Some friends and I compared the 40 Paragon to the 41 Panoptic and the 40 Pentax XW. In terms of image quality, we ranked them Paragon, XW, Panoptic. Price...
Larry, Your 9 and 7 planetaries provide 62 and 80 power respectively. The 6mm will give you 93x, not much of an increase over the 7mm/80x. 93x is not going to...
Mark, Much the same thing happened among the the active observers in my club. Many of them now own Paragons and the word continues to spread. On the first...
Hi Bill! Just wondering about the status of my focuser. I am ready to pick it up at your/your dad's place if it is available. For the one asking about...
