It strikes me that we should figure out what people's limitations are if we are looking for a different site. I think we may have done this in the past, but it...

I raised this question in December. Then the group consensus was that my TV-76 would be a better choice than my ST120. Has the group changed its mind based...

Yeah, I'm using a Televue 0.8x focal reducer / flattener which I assume is helping keep the stars relatively round out to the edge of my FOV. Even still, it...
