Hi All, Strange thing, I can receive email just fine but sending through my ISP (the normal way) won't work. So, I'm having to log on to the group to post. ...
Well, good news and bad news! ;) If you were ever considering the MN66 for imaging, read the paragraph below. Good news, the Ovison seems to be working really...

Floyd, Sorry to hear about the MN66. I was hoping to see some good results. You seem to be taking it all in stride though and moving on. When you own the...

Hi John, So far I have not used the PemPro for analysis. I hope to try it in the next 30 days. Yeah, an internal filter wheel would help! :^) It seems that...
Hi John, I traded a 10" Dob for the TV102 and a Gibraltar mount. I pick it up tomorrow. Still might find some way to make the MN66 work, but not too promising ...
Floyd, Is there anyway to use longer bolts for the collimation screws in the MN66 to move the mirror forward enough for you to achieve focus? Don ... From:...

Picked up the TV102 today, really nice, just like new without any dust on the objective or marks of any kind! :^) The Gibraltar mount was in like new condition...
