Hi, I'm a longtime Amart supporter who got side tracked away from astronomy by illness, a new wife, two changes of jobs in a year. I'm getting back into the hobby but all of my old pals in this area have moved away. So I'm looking for someone with a nice Dob or Cat to invite me over a couple of times in the next month to observe Mars at high powers. I can squeeze 300x out of my TEC 180 but darnittall, the planet is so low in the sky that the scope is partially blocked by the walls of my observatory, I can only get about 90% of the planet in a view. So my fancy apos are handicapped.
I live near Springfield MA, am happy to drive an hour to your home. I'm also happy to bring some fine beers, Cuban cigars, Televue eyepieces and/or a lovely AP Traveler to complement your big scope.
Cheers and Clear Skies!
