You guys all know how every now and then someone will question the wisdom of buying an expensive telescope from an Astromart "newbie". You know, the guy with no ratings, no forum posts, only been a member for 3 weeks etc...

Who would buy something pricey from that guy right?

Sometimes the conventional wisdom is not so wise.... wink

For example, this ad recently caught my eye:

Maybe the seller's name will ring a bell. If it doesn't, you have been missing the work of one of the finest astrophotography artists in the known universe.

I would think that Mr. Croman could tack a few extra bucks onto the price of his NP 101 just because of the pedigree! grin


Take care, Jim

RC has been doing some amazing work for quite a bit now...
It is GOOD to see him around here... even is he is to be considered an AM Newb by his ratings! 8)

As far as the price goes, well, let's consider that maybe he is NOT looking into making a quick buck here. Maybe he is trying to HELP the community by passing a great piece of equipment as a good price... wink

If I was in the market for an NP101 this would make me a very happy camper... wink


Clear skies Jim! 8)
