In case it isn't remember to cool them scopes off, warm the dew shields up, put some hot coffee on, and break out the champagne in case it all works out....
I received this positive response today: I wanted to drop you a note to let you know I received your letter regarding funding for the Hubble Space Telescope in...
... I picked up a used Orion Starblast on Astromart. It's the cutest darned thing. My puppy isn't too crazy about it, though, he just sits and barks at it. I...
Rip, Tonight was the best night in a long time. I took the scope out and tried out my 14 mm Pentax and with my Tele Vue 2.4 Powermate in line. I've never seen...
It's good to hear your investment in the Pentax is proving worthwhile. There was never a doubt in my mind. Pentax makes super EPs. The scope is a 4.5"...
Did I said Jupiter. I meant to say Saturn. Right now I would have to get up early in the morning to see Jupiter and that't not going to happen. I'm a night...
Everything I have heard about this scope has been good. Rod Molisse did a review of this and an 80mm short tube Celestron refractor in the Fall publication of...
Breeden Observation Report - Feb. 4, 2005 – Breeden Back Yard Friday night, February 4, 2005 was clear skies for the first time in (it feels like) weeks,...
Super report, Bill, especially when you consider your location. I took the TV102 Light Cup** out on the patio with two targets in mind - Saturn and Big Mac....
We had not heard from Bill and Rita in awhile. I was beginning to wonder what happened to them. Indeed, very good report. I too took the opportunity to do...

Greetings fellow astronomers-- I am considering adding a low power wide angle eyepiece to my collection. I am an open-cluster junkie, and I am looking for some...
Hi eveyone, Thanks in advance for the advise. I am looking for a scope that is a good all around scope for viewing planets and some deep sky objects. From what...
I have the Orion 5" mak. The views are very sharp and contrasty for this design and it does well at high power. I'm sure the Meade is too. All scopes have...
It is hard for one scope to do all well and the selection of planets and deep sky are at opposite ends of the scope spectrum. Anyway, here's my opinion,...
Bill - I've never looked through a Nagler but I do have a 27mm (not the 22mm) Panoptic. It's perfect in my f4.5 dob but I notice that eye position becomes...
Just got in from trying the 27mm Panoptic in my 8" SCT. I'm afraid to say that at f10 the eye position problem was worse than in my refractor. Eye movement a...
Breeden Observation Report - Feb. 11, 2005 – St. Louis Science Center Friday night, February 11, 2005 was nice clear skies and very mild temperatures in the...
Hi Dennis! Thank you for the awesome report and review of the 27mm Panoptic eyepiece in an F10 8" SCT. The F6.3 converter sounds like a miracle, in fact, I...
... Sounds like a killer combo, Bill. The f6.3 reducer/corrector (I bought mine on Astromart) screws into the visual back on the SCT and you screw the...
