I'll have the 152 Starfire set up at Goochland on Nov 18 & 19, weather permitting. Favorite target: trapezium-like multiple stars in IC 1396 and NGC 281, and multiples like Roe 47, 8 Lac, and AR Cas. Jupiter too.

Im interested in an A-P mount also. How portable? How easy to set up in the field?

Thanks

Do you see colour in any non-stellar object?

Posted By john raymond
Some of the planetary nebulae have strong blue or green color. IC 418 is pale pink. Other than that, no.

Very Impatient Seller

Posted By john raymond
Craig,

Rude people suck, and there are some here. Dont let it bother you too much.

Looks like he had several responses to his ad. Was you response firm and committal?
Maybe he had a lot of stuff to do that day and was unable to check emails later. Who knows?

If you reply to an ad right before going to sleep or work, let the seller know that you wont be able to check emails until a specified time. If its something you really want send your phone#.

Save up for a nicer BV'er like a Denk or Televue. The seller really did you a favor.

NEW TAL KLEVTSOV Yahoo Group

Andreas

Thank you for posting about this.

From what Ive seen:
The Tal scopes were never marketed that well to US customers. I think they were only avilable for a short time here.

I have never seen one in person.
