OK, the problem seems to be cleared up now. For anyone who gave up on Mapug due to poor list maintainence by the old administrator, here's the info on the new...
... Its a shame that Meade are being so unforthcoming over the specification of this scope. Surely someone at Meade has a ruler - and can borrow some bathroom ...
... ^^^^^^ I've got a couple of 2" Russell Koenigs; both are SWA, a 16.8mm & an 11mm unit. I use them with an f10 8" SCT; thus exit pupils are 1.68mm & 1.1mm...
... Yeah, and if Meade does find a bathroom scale perhaps they could let Celestron borrow it from time to time? Sheesh, these guys ought to be able to get...
... Good morning, Rod. Thanks for the reviews. I recently purchased one of the 2" EP's from Anacortes. As you said, for the price, it's great.(12" F/10 Meade...

Hi, I liked the article, and didn't mind the ramble, as it adds character and gets away from the dry and boring astronomy stuff that is mostly out there. But...

Lasse, One idea that I used is to buy a piggyback mount and then attach the 80 mm to that. Clear and dark skies, Bill Logan, WB9SAT U. S. Army Retired ...
People have a tendency to be more honest when they ramble on like that. Hard to mince words when you are just talking. Although I don't have one of Anacorte's...
Thanks Rod, What I am interested in is deep sky with an occasional planetary shot. Seems if the DSI were better for deep space, you could tweak the setting...

Hi Rod I finally got around to reading your piece. I find the style quite comfortable and came away feeling like I just had a face to face conversation with...
Rod, I'd like to relate my experience with Chinese eyepieces... When I bought my C9.25, I decided to include the $100 Celestron eyepiece kit. This was the best...

There's good and then there's sweet. For my old eyes, so long as I can afford it within my astronomy budget, I'll take premium eyepieces. Once I've gone...

Hi All, I was reading on a website that said an 8 inch sct telescope will perform better than a 10" or more aperture scope. Is this true? If so, why? Is it...
Hi Aperture wins. Aperture wins absolutely. However, make sure you want to lift the thing. The 12 is too heavy for me, for instance, but the 10 (for me) is...
Good evening Unca Rod, I liked your piece on eyepieces, definitely enjoyed the "rambling" aspect of it. As an owner of 2 Plossls only myself, there's a big...
