... lighter. I ... can't ... go. ... I use the GM8 with my TMB115/7 and am quite happy with the set-up. Damping is about 1 second, possibly 2 with a big bump....
I wonder if anyone who has a SV102DN has tried it for astrophotography? Would appreciate knowing if I am the only one who is having difficulty focusing at...
Gene: Thanks for your post. Let me assure you that the performance you are getting is directly related to the additional time it took. We try and make it clear...
Hank: In our private correspondence, I told you that as a customer service, I would try and replicate the unique issue you are having with your 102DN this...
Dave: I agree that the GM8 is adequate for the 115. But many people have told me that they want the mount large enough to use on another scope down the road....
Yes I do listen. So the Special Edition is now the big one and the standard uses the standard focuser. Thanks group, for helping me keep my presentation clean....
Hi Darren, I think your method is OK (since you are first wetting the element with steam). However, speaking as a microbiologist, we avoid using pure organic...
... A minor point, but what you see rising from boiling water is not steam, it's simply heated water vapor condensing in the ambient air. Nevertheless, it can...

Hi Vic, I hope to get to it tonight as I had some work obligations the last two days. I'll let you know and the group know how it works out. I also did a...

I am unaware of any hostile takeovers. We generally do it in a non hostile manner. The rumors about the hat thing are true though. We are trying to take the...
Vic, You gotta post a pic of the Rocky hat (preferably atop your noggin). Whatever happened to the Stellarvue bowling shirt and pocket protector? Jim...
Ah, Spring Break... the students go away and that gives the faculty a break. My wife Carolyn and I went to Grants, NM for Spring Break, staying at the Cibola...
Hi Dave, I regret to inform you that that's not the Rocky the Flying Squirrel hat in your picture. That must be something Vic picked up while bonefishing in...
Love the hat, especially the flap at the back. All Vic has to do is make the flap wider and longer. Why? When bothered at the eyepiece by extraneous light,...
I just checked the web-site and the caps are there ($ 12 US). Question -- was I supposed to get one with my SV-105 :-) or did Joe O'Neil keep it :-) Cheers Ken...

This is a wonderful scope and I hate to part with it. It has the JMI upgrade and Telrad. Just selling the OTA. First dibs for you guys and thanks for all the...
Vic, now that the SV hat is up and functional, I suggest a showdown between the the TV hat and an SV hat! Tom T. is slow to produce a Cloudy Nights hat and I...
