To me it means "off topic." If there appears to be some possibility that Yahoogroups will shut down or change substantially, we'll discuss this ISSUE here....
"Not exactly"? I'd say more like NOT AT ALL. I don't know what there really is to discuss anyway, unless one of y'all has an inside line to the MS or Yahoo...

... I don't think you will have any problem with that combination. My broadly similar CGE handles a 45# C14 and a 30# 6 inch, f/8 refractor with aplomb. Is it...
... Meade's 10" SNT is f/4. This sounds like it's an old Starfinder- or maybe older- Meade made various very similar GEM mounted 10" Newts for decades, and...
Hi Mohit, The Nexstar single arm mounts have no clutches as we usually understand the term. The Dec bracket has a friction disc that bears against the large...
Yes, poor dear now has a bent focuser shaft because we needed a straight one in a hurry for a customer's. The focuser works, but the motor speed varries as it...

... Mr. Mayer - I run a 10 inch homebuilt f/6 Newt on an Orion Atlas EQ-G; OTA plus 50 mm finder, Telrad, and large eyepiece weighs 47 pounds. The only...

Alas, no. Though I hope to be able to take care of this over the next couple or three weeks. Same goes for the current missed issue of Skywatch. Fishing up the...

Hi All, I've been searching for a bit for the central obstruction on the Meade ACF scopes (f/10). If anyone knows I'd be thankful for an answer. thanks, matt...
... Hello, and thanx to ALL who replied, this is what I wanted to know. Looks like a set of Parralax rings are in order. The 10" f4.5 in question is the OTA of...

Same as the older models. The size of the secondary is dictated by the focal ratio of the primary, which has not changed. Peace, Rod Mollise Author of Choosing...

LOL, I'll trust your judgement on that one Leo. I am a little surprised that on a group this large in numbers that there aren't a bunch trying to get out of...
Alan, Had half a thought of putting the 12" Lightbridge on the G11. What size rings do you need? Don't think I have any large enough, but I' be glad to go...

My feeling is that the 125 is "too much" for this sort of thing. It's more portable than a C8, but NOT much more. It needs a hefty tripod, and won't go on...
