My Meade QX Wide Angle 26mm and 2" Clestron O-111 filter just came in from OPT today. Earlier I posted that I was getting a 28mm. I forget which size that ...

Somehow, to me, this is appearing to take on the "better, faster, cheaper" approach that got us into so much trouble not too long ago. ....but I've been wrong...
This must be a great eyepiece because no one ever sells one. I just went ahead and bought another refractor, a Stellarvue. There is going to be a sale going on...
I got a used SV 80/9D. I've seen quite a few good reports on that and Stellarvue in general. I've been using a refractor more and more lately, when there is...
That is a good scope. I know a guy in British Columbia who owned one and was very happy with it. Vic makes some very good scopes - both optically and...
It is not here yet (next week). I'm really just hoping for a nice achromat with good mechanics. It is an early one so I don't think the focuser is anything...
Yes, by all means, post your opinions. IMHO, a personal scope report is very valuable information. FWIW, the 102D was very sharp and was used up to 240x (sky...
Well, I'd like to find a Pan for something less than I just paid for this telescope which was $225. I can also understand why a person wouldn't want to sell...
Greetings Fellow Astronomers-- We just returned from five glorious nights of observing at Star Hill Inn in Sapello, New Mexico. All five nights were perfectly...

Great report, Bill. Looking forward to the rest. We've talked about going to one of these astro-resorts but never have. Sounds like we might have to look into...

I took the new 80mm refractor for a spin last night and found I couldn't split the double double at 100x. I have an eyepiece gap in this 750mm fl scope to 150x...
I'll keep trying. The previous owner of the scope said he had done it at 75x but it was very rare. I thought a hundred should do it considering the Missouri...

Yeah, for 75x with 80mm aperture the atmosphere is going to have to be very calm. One of those nights when you can actually see an undistorted airy disk at...
Sounds like you're adapting to star-hopping quite well. Did you have a similar problem I had (while at Eagles Park) where there are so many stars visible it...
