Hi Joe, I have an 18" Starmaster with GOTO and a Starlight XPress MX7C. I haven't tried imaging with this combo yet but I have no doubt it would work (at least...
My recently mentioned Oak Classic is now listed for auction on Astromart. Reserve price is downright affordable, if anyone is interested. My newly acquired...
I've called for several days to Rick singmaster/Starmaster office from their web site. Does anyone know if they are on vacation or if i have a bad phone...

I see the seller of the 7" Oak Classic has removed the reserve from the auction. Want an Oak Classic for 450$? ...
Just returned from the NSP,and had a great time despite the weather, hot and cloudy. For the few that weathered the heat and clouds, they were rewarded with...
Dan, I was there too. With my 14.5 Starmaster. (Might not be a big dob to most, but it is to me!) I did not see you or your scope? Where were you set up?...
I'm contemplating the Versa 11 and need advice on eyepieces. What two would you recommend? Thus far my astronomy equipement has been limited to binoclars and...
Hi Dan and Richard, I too was at the NSP staying at Valentine and commuting back and forth through Friday night only. (I understand that Saturday night was an...
... Well you are taking a good step up from binoculars and books by getting a Versa 11". I don't own a Versa so I would recommend will be basic. I would ...
... I have the 11 ELT and I love the 31 Nagler with Paracorr with ths scope. With the Versa you won't need a Paracorr, and the 31 Nagler should be great. Bill...
... I don't recall if the original poster is looking at a V8 or V11... But if its a V11, a Paracorr is needed as the mirror is F/4.5. I never used the...
I have recently completed a 16" Dob struture. Since the oppurtunity to complete it with a 16" ZOC mirror is not likely to materialize any time soon, I am...

Tomorrow I have a chance to buy a 14.5" Starmaster. It has the two inch mirror. I believe it is a 1999 scope. I currently have a 16" Discovery sonotube, but...
Michael, From a transport standpoint, the 14.5" will be a lot easier. For one thing, you have a truss system and a removable mirror. A friend has one of the 2"...
Michael, I went from a 14.5" Starmaster just like the one you are contemplating buying and it was a terrific scope. In fact, mine was also a 1999, as I recall....
(Apologies to Emily Dickinson) I recently discovered, or rather my wife discovered, that my 11 inch f 4.44 ELT "Shorty" can be transported in just two pieces...
I had to compare my new 14.5 (thanks Brent) to my Discovery 16" tonight. I made the following assumtions: The 16" would be brighter. The 16" would have more...
Thanks both for the replies. I did get the scope, and as soon as I finish here I will begin cleaning it up. The truss poles and the inside of setup all could...
He Michael, I came down from an 18" Obsession (good scope by the way) to the 14.5" StarMaster when a used model with Sky Commander and Sky Tracker became ...
... Michael, Congratulations on the new scope. I've had my 16" Starmaster for a couple of years now and still get goosebumps when I take it to our club's dark...
