Same here. I sent my NH achro objective back with a note in the box: "Please take care of my baby, I can no longer afford to feed him. He needs a loving family...
Richard, like you said, it's real easy because with the NH models there's no modifications to make. I put a "photo essay" of my NH Apo upgrade in the Files...
Warp, the way I look at it, I paid $299 for my NHII blem, and $699 for my triplet lens upgrade, minus my Allstars discount (which was substantial). Getting a...
I'm sorry... but I guess I just don't see it as the same "bargain". Vic makes fabulous scopes but the level of "cool-aid drinkers" responses here just...
I'm not interested in a tax deduction Warp, my little donation is helping school children somewhere learn about the universe. Stick around here Warp, you just...
<<I wished that I had at least brought the binocs....What to bring depends on where you are going and if there is jet service vs the typical island hopper....
<<anyone who decides to imbibe during the dark sky star party is defeating the purpose of being under truly dark skies.>> I think I'm bringing my little...
Now, what exactly would be the value of the tax relief someone would get for an 80mm lens in a cell... a few dollars? If they gave the lens to a school ...
<<nada, nothing, zilch... the big goose egg.>> Knowing that one's used gear or parts will be used is NOT worth nada, even if it can't be measured in dollars,...
Hey Wade, your review is right on the money. If you remember I purchased your SV80S last fall and fell in love with Stellarvue products. Just two short...
I'm pretty sure Stellarvue isn't getting rich giving equipment away to schools like mine. A gift to a school, especially a generous one like my school...
Ok.. I'll bite. How do I get one of these "free" scopes for my school? Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry ... From: Rick Saunders <ozzzy@...> Date:...
Red? Stellarvue blue would be more appropriate? Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry ... From: "Richard" <mechaniczz@...> Date: Tue, 02 Jun 2009...
Warp, Vic does this, I think, once a year. I think all of his donations went out this year already. To stay informed about this program, stick around here as...
I figure some of you folks know a lot more about babies and telescopes than I do, but this is what I've noticed about my daughter... Camille has been...
Warp, I'm sorry if I've missed something obvious about figuring out where you live, but if you're around the bay area somewhere, my astronomy club would like...
Hey Steve Great post! I love sharing my scopes when I can get the kids out and like you said usually the moon, Jupiter or Saturn are always big favorites. Phil...
If you scroll down on the home page there is a button entitled education. Click on this and it explains that we donate telescopes to schools. Click on that...
Steve: It would be great to attend sometime. Ever have a need for an appearance from Galileo? I really appreciate all you are doing with your kids. I remember...
Let me offer my apologies in that I really did not mean to get everyone up in arms. I've monitored this group for quite a while now. Perhaps someday, I'll...
I'm in Missouri and we had a great public viewing "party" this past weekend. Saturday nite we had about 22 scopes up and running - everything from an 80mm...
