Mike, I apologize for not getting to the program last night or today. Other things came up. As of now I am planning to assist tonight though I probably won't...
Hi Mike, No problem.  Last night was fairly busy and we may have gotten a couple people to blow the dust off some old scopes and or look for us again...
As per my previous post, there is no scheduled observing for tonight. But since it looks to be partly cloudy, if other members wanted to go to Riverside, feel...

Hi Rick, This might be a perfect portable club scope! I'd be willing to put some time into it and I'm sure others will help. Club members can discuss it at...
Hi Mike, I really don't know... who is your target audience? Existing club members? Is anyone interested in a 60mm scope and .965 eyepieces? Newbies? I...
Good points! However, we've been talking about having a kind of low grade scope this year in order to demonstrate what Galileo might have seen. Maybe we...

I have to agree that you have some strong arguments, too. For demostration purposes an alt-az might be more appropriate. I thought Paul's mount was pretty...
I don't want to start a heated debate (or maybe I do?), but I think an equatorial mount can be very appropriate for a beginner, especially if it's a motorized...
