Mercury Support Systems New York?

Posted By Donald Dolan

I have two of his 2” visual backs, one for a refractor and one for a Schmidt. Both are very good quality and were shipped promptly after I ordered them. I’ve been very happy with them.

I inquired about the focuser a while back but never received a reply.

T6 versus T1 Naglers

Posted By Donald Dolan

I’ve owned a 13mm T1 since they first came on the market and I bought a 13mm T6 last April, because of its light weight.

I’ve found the T6 to be more comfortable to use than the T1 and its light weight makes it easier to handle, but it doesn’t match the T1 for the ‘space walk’ effect the T1 made famous.

After 7 months of having both, I now use the T6 more than the T1, in fact it’s one of my most used eps. But when conditions are right and I want that awesome ‘space walk’ effect I go back to the T1. Maybe the ‘T7’ will pull it all together? smile

EQ Limericks

Posted By Donald Dolan

Maybe we should have a Limerick forum.
For there, we wouldn't have to be at odds with decorum.
We could rhyme to our heart's content.
And we would never have to lament,
a good soul's retreat from the quorum.
