... The 7mm Nagler should just begin to resolve the Airy disk if the seeing is good and your vision is good (about 15X per inch). You may need to move to a...

Hello all! I am going to be the owner of a 14.5" Starmaster and am very excited about it... however, I'm worried about having to buy new eyepieces after...
... Hi Dave, Congratulations. You will love the 22T4 in your new scope. It will provide pretty near the optmimal exit pupil for low power, widefield views...
Dave, Here is my setup for my 14.5. 35 Pan, 24 Pan, 12 Nagler Type 4, 6 Radian. I used this setup for quite a while. Just recently added a 4 and 3 Radian,...
... <astroboy_ca2000@y...> The above are good suggestions, but some of us have to be different. I use a TV binoviewer with 24 and 19mm panoptics (130x/160x)...
Hi Folks A question for those that have owned or used both the SM 11" F/5.4 and 4.5. The question is, do you have a preference of one over the other and your...

Other than from Bob, I have not heard a peep about the V8. Is this scope getting in the hands of astronomers yet? If you have one and you haven't been sharing,...
Hi All, Does anyone know if the transport handles are interchangable on different size scopes, i.e. would the ones I have for my 18"SM fit my friends 14.5"SM? ...
The website shows only one type/price of handle used for the 14.5 through 24", so I suspect they're all the same, except that the spacing between the front and...
... I have been to Rick's and seen him move different sizes of scopes around. He has one set of handles with lots of holes in them. My guess is that the ones ...
Yes, I think I should just wait until I get my scope... but I do know I want a higher powered eyepiece. Has anyone ever used an UO Ortho in a SM 14.5"? I'm...
I have a new 11" 4.5 which I have not been able to use a lot because the weather has been so lousy. But the 3 times I took it out, have increased my positive...
... If you're worried about coma, at high power you're looking at such a small part of the center of the field that it's not an issue. The only drawback to...
Dave, My SM 14.5 will be one year old in December so I understand the feeling. Like you, I thought it outrageous to spend all that money on a Nagler when I...
... Hi I believe there are two sizes of Starstep Chair. Check out the SM web site. If you get the larger one, it should be tall enough at the highest position...

Bob, Thanks for the update on the V8. Getting things off the ground always seems to be more of a challenge than people realize. I can't wait to hear some of...

Hi, I had first light 11/05/04 with my new 18" Starmaster, the seeing was good and the Zambuto primary was hitting on all cylinders. I took some Lunar images...
Great shots, Wes! OK - How did you get a colored Saturn from a BW camera???? Al Schlafli *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 11/16/2004 at 7:43 PM Wes...
Great images! Is your 18" showing more detail than the 14.5" you previously used? Do you think your Firewire camera is really better than the webcams most...
