Ok one more ep question. Well, maybe 2 :-) I got my NHNG on order. I really enjoy looking at planets. So what would be 2 must have powers for this scope? I was...
Hi Everyone, Well, when I called Vic last night to order my new SV5S he gave me the bad news. He said that a table holding one of those expensive fancy...
It lubricates the photons, making them pass through the lens faster. Okay, I don't know either and I'm glad you asked because I was just about to post the same...

Scott, I think I'll be brave and take the Tarheel. The chance to to rev him up in a dark sky is too tempting. And it will show everyone the best that I have. I...
Ahhh, this must be what "wisdom beyond one's years" sounds like. Well said Taylor ...contrast, colour (or color if you must) and other aspects are truly within...
Scott, Having had an SV4, if you ever look through one you'll never go back to an achromat. The SV4 is a stunning performer, it took the SV115 to pry it from...
Good analagies guys. When it came to audio and the search for speakers I got fed up with reviews and trying to listen to outfits in audio shops not knowing...
Darren, Enjoyed reading your report although the first 75% was really "greek" to me. (no pun intended) I just don't know much of anything about spectra...
Jason: I like to make sure people have as much information as possible before they make a final decision. I often find myself talking people out of things. I...
No actually, that is exactly it. Good guess. Why do I get the impression that your family celebrates April first as a holiday? Vic ... about to post the same...
Very nice comparison. Think we need more folks that look at things this way instead of mine is better than yours. Robert it goes "bing" when the scope...
Jeff: I mentioned getting your take as I knew, as an educator, you would address this issue appropriately. You always exceed my expectations. Your post is very...
We have been working day and night on some new and unique telescope accessories. Now that the SV5 announcement has been made, I hope to get these new...
Thanks for that report Darren. This is one area that few people in this hobby get into. Did you get a chance to check Castor out? David E ... From: Darren...
Jason: 180x is not too much to ask. A NHNG should be capable of over 200x [maybe to as high as 220x-240x on a really awesome night and the right target]. I...

Vic, I just remembered that, although light photons always travel at the same speed, they get "slowed down" when they bump into atoms and molecules and bounce...
Thanks for your reply Vic. Actually I was trying to give a feel for my typical seeing around here when I stated those powers. I was really trying to get a feel...
Thanks Darren. 160x would be reall nice. Jason ... [maybe to as high as 220x-240x on a really awesome night and the right target]. I find that 180x is a "just...
Geez Vic, How am I ever going to be able to save enough for an SV4 when you keep putting new and exciting gadgets on the websiite to tempt me? First it was the...
Hi Darren, I would agree with you but I think we should point out that magnification and resolution are two different things. As you get above 50x your...
Hey David J: No worries. When I am done my article, hopefully you will have a better idea of what I am talking about. There's a few nice sites easily found on...
It's facinating to hear other takes on this. Honestly, I'd be thrilled if I could afford any of them over the next couple years. Perhapse the more practical...
Darren, Thanks for the heads up on your article. I will take your suggestion and do a google on "balmer series". I would like to get at least a "toddlers"...
OK David, Ive been quiet on this issue but... If you want to take it to the molecular level, Vic needs to stay with the air spaced design. The inner surface of...
