Based on the recent weather and the predictions for the next few weeks, someone around here must have got one hell of a nice astro-goodie recently. Fess up....
... Hey Jim - Not me. Jane's building a puny 10", but she sold her 18", so that can't be it. Happy New Year, and I hope to get out more this year than I did...
Hey Ken, Have you paid for it yet? Although I believe they have access to the UPS parcel tracking system, I think the astro-gods also have divine access to ...
... Actually, the esteemed Dr. Freeman makes the more pertinent point long before he mentions aperture. Please note: "Any telescope you take out and use is...
Hi Jim, I just bought a few Naglers while they were on sale, a new wooden eyebox to put them in, a fine focuser adapter for my XT10, and a universal alt-az...
... Jay is also likely to use a Zeiss Miniquick on the Herschel 400: http://www.binocularoutlet.com/zemo5xtmi.html Not my type of observing! [Non-text portions...
I got the RASC calendar for 2005 - does printed material with astro-centric themes count? (Hope not). BTW, best wishes for a great 2005 to everyone! Stacy...
... Well Dennis, Maybe not the tsunami, but I'm sure you're responsible for at least a half foot of the new snow at IHOP! BTW, what type and fl Naglers did you...
... No Dennis, you are not the culprit. Personally, I think Jim Ster is the guilty party. He's attempting to throw the blame elsewhere, aided by Randy Muller...
Glad to hear that the Tsunami wasn't my fault Jim! Over the last 3 months I picked up the 13, 9, 7, and 5 type 6 Naglers during the Tele Vue sale. Now I've got...
... Moi?????? NO WAY!!!!! I didn't get a single astro-gift from Santa this year. :-( I did however get a (red)laser-cue and a new set of billiard balls for...
... IIRC, buying Type-6 Naglers will produce about 3 - 4 inches of snow....... for each one purchased. ;-) BTW, I'd love to do a side by side comparison...
Feel free the next time we get some observable to skies to compare. The only one I've had a chance to use is the 13mm and I like the size and sameness of the...
... LOL! I'm not the culprit. I admit to having ordered some nice components, but nothing, save the primary which arrived long before the onset of this...
Ahem, did y'all think that maybe UC Davis' science department might have acquired some new equipment lately...hmmmmm? (In my best church lady voice). Seems...
... You guys may be right! Shneor Sherman! I shoulda guessed. My apologies, Larry. I keep forgetting Shneor just lives down the street too. OK Shneor....
OOOOOHHHH - I'm dying to do some comparisons. Shneor ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ** Shneor Sherman...
I received the new AP 7" APO and a Dream Machine large format imager. And, my 30" mirror finally came in. In my dreams! However.... I did just get the...
If any of you know Paul, ask him how he observes... Okay... don't ask him, I'll tell you what he'll say: A brewski, hot tub, and a kaleidoscope. Michelle Stone...
... That would certainly do it! I'd wager you'd put up with a few weeks of rain to have it be true. :) ... Well, look at the bright side, Michelle. If...
... Hey Shneor, That new 4" secondary mirror has got to be worth at least 4" of snow.... And of course, just like Jane, you live in Davis too! I knew it! It...
I certainly would like to get in on a comparison. Also, I may make an offer on that 4.8 Nagler if my money situation settles down soon. WB* ... Now I've...
