Very valid points, Mark. The optics are so smooth and perfect on that scope, that I think it would be ideal for high resolution planetary imaging. However...

Hey Judy, (and everyone else) Take a look at this link on craigslist and see what you think. for the price it might make a pretty nice addition to our loaner...
I think we have some scopes in this aperture class already, but bring it up at the next club meeting and see what the other folks think. BTW, has anyone...
Looks pretty good to me. The new Dob is too large for anyone who does not have either a large SUV or a pickup. This scope looks like an equatorial mount...
That looks like a nice scope, but I'm not sure we need to spend any more money on scopes right now.  So far we haven't really loaned out the scopes to...
I agree with Judy. Don ... *************************************** Don E. Bray Mail P. O. Box 10315, College Station, Texas 77842-0315 Ship 1601 Fontaine...
Fine by me, I just came on it by accident and thought it was a good deal, but if we're not loaning them out, then it's not worth it. Kevin Sent from my iPhone...
I'm ready to take advantage of the loaner program. I realize how delicate these instruments are and already have a habit of being careful with optical...

Dear BVAC group, Last Saturday after I came back from Kevin's place I could not sleep - the star-filled sky was still there in my mind. So at about 3 AM I...

You were fortunate to be out on the Night of the Smeared Double Jupiter! Very lucky you are.... Just kidding. Very difficult to diagnose. Sounds like fogged...
Maybe they need a calibration. I had a problem with seeing a slight double image and Derek suggested I use a guy named Cory Suddarth, you can find him on the...
Hi Group Sorry I have been a little quiet on the observatory progress. I did not make it out there last weekend. The weekend before, I replaced some of the...

Derek, I don't know much about the small reduction boxes you're considering but you mentioned belt and pulley. You might try Grainger supply, they have pretty...
