9197	Thanks Pete, I think you hit it on the head. It is tough and expensive just to test the Market to see if I will even sell enough to make it worth it. Looks...	Scott phazelag	Jul 2, 2005 6:23 am
9198	... I have spent a lot on astronomy (too much) but I am slowing down due to approaching retirement and having most of what I want. I am starting to downsize,...	edwincjones	Jul 2, 2005 12:32 pm
9199	I am trying to generate a finder chart for the Tempel-1 impact as viewed from New Orleans. My copy of Starry Night Pro erroneously considers New Orleans to be...	Mike Gilmer adhoc_binoc	Jul 2, 2005 2:43 pm
9200	Scott - A friend of mine in Florida is in the wholesaling business and he does a fair amount of importing and exporting. He has all the liscences, permits,...	Mike Gilmer adhoc_binoc	Jul 2, 2005 2:54 pm
9201	I'm personally acquainted with two of the individuals that were in the forefront of the Chinese binocular import business. I'm also very familiar with two of...	Loren Busch lorenbusch	Jul 2, 2005 3:11 pm
9202	Mike, it's probably going to be too low on the horizon (7deg.) for us to get a good view here in Hollywood South. You will have to have a hazeless,...	Remy Bosio skyeye012001	Jul 2, 2005 3:40 pm
9203	Remy - Let's hope that the expected increase in brightness lasts until the next night, when we can get a decent view. Even with a spot on my roof, I have my...	Mike Gilmer adhoc_binoc	Jul 2, 2005 4:02 pm
9204	These are very valid points. The QC is a big worry. My Dad just pruchased some BT 100's and had a focuser come apart. But luckily the company we bought them...	Scott phazelag	Jul 2, 2005 4:55 pm

9207	Mike, I just looked at The Sky Student Edition software and I put in your location and time and it looks like tempel will only be a couple of degrees high on...	Scott phazelag	Jul 2, 2005 6:31 pm
9208	Scott, Yeah, the chart looked right to me as well, but the strange discrepancy in time zones that is present in my Starry Nights is puzzling. And I'm not too...	Mike Gilmer adhoc_binoc	Jul 2, 2005 9:34 pm
9209	... Best of luck with your new business. You've got a lot of "competition" out there from people who are already established like Kevin of ...	Jerome Bigge jerome_bigge	Jul 3, 2005 1:47 am
9211	At time of impact, the comet will only be about 7 degrees up from our vantage here in the New Orleans area. There are very few places where a natural higher...	Barry Simon bsimon6151952	Jul 3, 2005 4:35 pm
9212	Did anyone see the deep impact? I struck out. With my hot, humid, hazy skies at 10-15 degrees it would have been difficult at best. Then the fireworks...	edwincjones	Jul 4, 2005 12:34 pm
9213	Ed, We had my dads Oberwerk BT100's out, my OW 20x80, and several 20x60s and no dice! We were in a place called Pinon Hills,Ca right behind Wrightwood,CA and...	Scott phazelag	Jul 4, 2005 5:53 pm

9216	... I saw the comet, barely, in my 25x150s, in Mag 4 skies tonight. It is very faint in direct vision, slightly better with averted about 5 degrees NE of...	edwincjones	Jul 5, 2005 3:09 am
9217	Actually viewing a large comet is a matter of contrast, and aperature and magnification don't enter into the equation. Pete Peterson ... It is ... brightness...	barringtonri	Jul 5, 2005 12:06 pm
9218	Skunked just north of Seattle with the Vixen 20x125's, to much light, to much 'crud'....	Loren Busch lorenbusch	Jul 5, 2005 5:23 pm
