Well Ozzy: In the category of fantasy filters, using an infrared CO2 laser beam to cut through the clouds could work.... but you have to turn ot off if a plane...
Yeah, but they're expensive. About the price of a plane ticket to New Mexico ;-) Good thing SV makes a number of airplane-friendly scopes!! Mike ... filter'...
And what would the power and cooling requirements be for a laser powerful enough to actually do some good as far as dissipating clouds? Multiple power plants...
I'll second Vince's review of SV finders. In my opinion, this was a more pertinent and specific report on SV finders than any I have seen published to date;...

Hi Folks, I was just wondring if anyone has heard if Vic has performed the optical tests between the NH BVA and the 80/9D yet? I am getting closer to the time...
Chris Lord did a test which he reported on in the TEC group. He got smoke from the plastic collet in the 3.5" FT focuser under direct sunlight illumination in...
Hi Bill, I just received NH BVA . I was looking for a guide scope, but what fun this scope is! SV Bino mode unreal! This is the best value out there period...
Thank you, Rich for the info. I will inquire with Starlight. Jon, can you tell me specifically what modifications you have done? Thanks, Stephen Agnor ... ...
Hi Curt, Have fun with your NH BVA. I too would like to dabble with binoviewers but later! When I get my SV190 in future. ;-) Note your SV80s and that Questar...

Hi all, I was randomly browsing scope sites, as you do, when I found a pic of the new Tak TOA-150. What was interesting to me was that there is a handle...
The skies have not permitted any comparitive star testing yet and I want to arrange a night when a number of staff people are there. Aligning both telescopes...
