Thanks for the information on the filter Scott. I'll give it a try. The 1278 is a great scope. Any increase in planetary detail would be a plus. Bill ... I ...
I promised to let you all know about my first experiences with my new (but actually old, second-hand)Burgess 1278. First light was given to Comet Holmes, and...
Nice report, John! Sounds like you have joined the group of happy 1278 owners! And, I, too finally got my first views of the comet Holmes tonight! (NE...

Hi everyone, After reading all of the buzz about Comet Holmes, I started looking for it about a week ago. At first, it was no dice but that was because I was...
Great report Mark - I enjoyed reading it. I had the same reaction when I first located the comet last week. It is the first comet I have observed as well....
Hi Ya'll According to spaceweather.com the coma/dust cloud is nearly 1/2 million miles in diameter now. Just think. As big as the Moon's orbit. Through a...
Welcome to our little inner circle, John. Now you know the secret. Your experience is not uncommon and the reputation of the achro excellence in this scope ...
John: Bill is correct in that the 127 is a fine, if not the finest achro 5" on the market. I used the Williams 2" VR filter (screwed onto my Burgess 2"...
