I've made a reservation for us at 17:30 at the Liang's Village restaurant. 8 People voted. But I've added +1 for Ken's partner and I've counted Rolf's vote as...

So I'm replacing my lost Stellarvue F50. So Should I buy another F50 or upgrade to http://www.stellarvue.com/f80.html? -- ==== bruce Member: IEEE, SPIE, AICR ...
How the h*ll do you lose a finder? I like my F50s a lot. The F80, if you haven't seen it, is *big* and, depending on the scope, might be overwhelming. Have...
They are good points. I definiately need to consider the weight issue. No I had forgot about the F60. On Fri, Jul 3, 2009 at 4:12 PM, Richard ... -- ==== ...

... Try scope stuff (http://www.scopestuff.com/). They provide springs and collimation screws, springs for Lightbridge 12. I'd imagine your 12" would use the...
I managed to fit in an interesting session at FLO with Ron St. Martin last night. Plenty of galaxies and globulars and a few planetaries to hunt down. I made a...
I did a quick cheque outside before I went to bed and to my surprise it was clear. Damn I said to myself. Would have been nice to try out my new toys. ;-) ...
Dave and Ron It is great that you got out and had a successful observing session last night. It is difficult to make observing plans with the weather we are...
Hello Oafs, I'm not just referring to the clear sky last night. About an hour before sunrise, I saw the rare (for Ottawa) noctilucent clouds. I think they...
