At last a question on the *use* of this instrument...;-) Anyone knows/uses a FF for the Stowaway...?! Roland...?! I guess with the 2" focuser we are limited to...
... to more attainable scopes ... There is a rather old review comparing a 92 mm f/4.9 Stowaway with my Vixen 90 mm f/9 fluorite, on the "Astronomy" page of my...

... As long as we are discussing rumors, is it true that Rolando has sold Astro-Physics to Meade, and that they are going to outsource the optics to China? --...
Isn't it true that AP used salad dressing as the separator in their early oil-spaced lenses? I wonder if we can get a choice next time around. I'm partial to...
Jay, not planning to wade into the bizarre but entertaining tennis match but wanted to say how much I enjoy your website. I have directed friends who don't...
No but it was at least 30 days old when I received it and of course, based on the postings I have seen had lost at least .000000000005% of its ability to...
I should have mentioned that the monkey fist (SH2-112) that I posted yesterday followed Roland's stated rule of thumb about focal ratio and pixel size. ...
If you are asking me, it works like this: the diffraction limited optical blur (spot) size is a function of wavelength and focal ratio the larger the focal...

Hi Everyone, Am I mistaken or on the left panel "Group Information", under Members:2518 is written: Founded: Jul 1, 1999...?! We are talking 10 years ago,...
I wonder how the Stowaway would compare to the Tak 106Q. As far as an imaging scope the Tak is quite an impressive scope. I've never seen a Stowaway. Chris...
... There is no comparison to be made. Two totally different telescope design philosophies and uses. A more reasonable imaging comparison would be the FSQ 106...
Chris, The Stowaway is a truly fantastic scope, but honestly no match for, say, the Traveler (or the 106Q, for what it matters). I have been using it for a...
