Hi Bob, ... going ... Me too... I just looked and the Truss page is now back up. It looks like there is now a very fast version (F/3.7) of the 28" model. I...

Hello I was just up at RTMC and I couldn't find any Starmasters. I believe that there were Starmasters at RTMC, I just didn't see any. I went to the RTMC for...

I used to own an older Meade 10" SCT and the difference between the 10" f/10 and the 18" Starmaster is astounding. It is not just the additional things that...
Mike, One thing I forgot to mention. With the 10" I often was unable to locate objects on the standard star charts. With the 18" I seldom fail to locate ...
Mike, I have to fully agree with Marvin. Having owned 20" and 18" scopes, the difference was just not that big of a deal. Now that I have a 24" Starmaster, the...
Hello I continue the struggle with the choice of the 18" versus the 20" starmaster. I am constantly scouring this group for information to help with that...
I used to own an 18" scope and I now have a 20" Starmaster. In the 20", faint objects are a little brighter and better resolved than the 18. The difference is...
I'll toss in my vote for the 18. I wouldn't want to try to carry a larger mirror. Mine spends a lot of time travelling in a 5th wheel, and the 18 was the...
GACK!! Mike, quit wasting time and order the 18" before your better half changes her mind and finds the sofa of her dreams!! Like Bob said, not that much...
I was in the same position you were in just one year ago. I had a LX 10" and now own a SM16. I had the same analysis paralysis that you do with the purchase...
I agree with Buck. Buy the 18"-now. I knew the 18" was a great buy when I was poking around in Ursa Major working on Herschel list and was seeing galaxies...
Hi all, I noticed that when observing Jupiter with my 14.5 inch SM, there is quite a bit of glare because the planet is so bright. I am am interested in any...
Hi Ron, Now don't laugh but I swear an apodizing mask works very well and it only costs a few bucks to make one. I use mine all the time for Jupiter and other...

Mike, I think the fact that you will be able to leave the 18" set up to roll out of the garage makes the choice for you. You are much more likely to use it if...

Just my .02 worth. As an 18" SM owner, I would recommend the 20". When in doubt always buy bigger!! If you have the $$ for it, buy it. I don't think you...
I was wondering if anyone who has decided to get their 12.5ELT or 11 ELT retro-fitted with the Skytracker can contact me off-list. I have some questions in...
Hello Thanks for the input on 18" vs 20". I am sure that whatever decision I make I will be a happy observer. Perhaps many of those who responded are correct,...
While observing Jupiter with my 14.5 in SM, I noticed that the detail contrast was better when the image was not in the center of the field of view. Is this...
An 18" would be a vast improvement over the LX200 10", right? Absolutely. That was the upgrade I made (10" SCT f/10 x 18" Starmaster f/4.3). I could not...
Sounds like your collimation is slightly off, so the sweet spot is off-center. You can fine tune the primary with a star test. Another possibility is the EP....
