3 inch extension with my 175 F8?

Posted By Danny Halstead
David
Here is a photo to illustrate what Mark is talking about. Although much smaller than yours this setup should give you a more clear picture. Long ago I bought all the extensions for my scope: 100mm, 60mm,and 30mm. The feather touch is just way to nice to pass up.
Take care,
Dan

Re: Focal Reducer for TMB 180

Posted By Danny Halstead
Bill,
Yes I am very much aware of that Bill. I also know that occasionally it can be a few days before Markus gets around to this forum. I just thought that if you needed the info faster that my suggestion would be helpful. In any case if Markus replies to us on this forum we then all have the benefit of his answer-smile. Please note the updated contact information that I have just posted.
Take care,
Dan

What happened to TMB180 Auction???

Posted By Danny Halstead
Tim,
It is hard to say but know that it has happened to me as well. I guess the buyer had some body make an offer that he could not resist. I suppose a guy if he is really wanting the item should make as high an offer as he can afford. Since it is an auction one would think the seller would be required to stay the course but to be honest I am not that up on the rules on Astromart regarding it's auctions and what if any regulations the seller is bound by. Perhaps some one else with some knowledge about this will comment.

!05 Classic Rings

Posted By Danny Halstead
Steve,
If your scope is like mine which is the classic CNC 115 then only the center hole on the Losmandy plates will line up. On the DUPS it is the center hole on the DUP it is the center slide hole. My understanding is that the classic rings were made to line up with the Astro-Physics plates. I use the Losmandy DUP and although only the two center holes line up that has been adequate for my needs. I do admit that it would be nice however to have more attachment than this.To be precise in terms of your question the answer is no neither hole on either side of center on the Losmandy plates will line up with the classic CNC rings. Hope this is helpful.

Street Lights....

Posted By Danny Halstead
Adam,
I have a 50mw class B green laser that I experimented with on the sensor for my outside house lights. It seems to have permanently burned the photo sensor out. I have a friend who has used his to shut down the city type power pole lights for a short period until they reset. I would not advise dong anything illegal or damaging others property.....

It is indeed great to see the continued growth of the company and your willingness to keep investing in the hobby particularly when it comes to your refractors. Where else can anyone find the variety of scopes and price points and quality that APM is providing. No big wait times and world class performance. All we have to do is spend the money-smile. This is good news and we thank you for keeping us informed and up to date on the APM offerings.
