Posted By Rick Huber
Recently bought a LXD75 AR5 right here on Astromart. Great scope!! Question, I would like to change out the setscrew visual back with a compression type - Can anyone lead me in that direction.

Thanks

Finally got stung

Posted By Rick Huber
Well after almost 8 years look like a fellow Astromarter decided not to honor a deal. It has been almost two weeks and no item. Fortunately it was under $40. Seems a shame that someone would sell their integrity for such a small amount.

Not sure what to do about the rating. His ratings showed okay - Did notice that he had received more ratings than he have - Have never given a bad rating but just not sure what to do with this one.

Thanks for any advice

Astromart Mug

Posted By Rick Huber
Hi Herb:

Appreciate the mug - There really is no need to send anything for support - This mug is a bit top heavy not a real good design - Kinda feel like I'm complaining about a free lunch but just thought I'd let you know

Again, appreciate it and no need to send anything as a gift for support

Another Old C5

Posted By Rick Huber
Recently acquired this - Original blue case - Overall excellent condition. Appears as though the scope got minimal use. Not sure of vintage but may be pre 1972 --

Crazy Eyepiece Prices

Posted By Rick Huber
I've been in mechanical design for almost 40 years. There are certain truths that cross into all fields.

More is not better
Cost is not synonamous with quality
Cost of quality reduces as quantity increases
There is always a high and low tolerance
A niche market product will always sell for what the market will bear
Just some thoughts on this hot topic.

Optics Of the LX90

Posted By Rick Huber
Dave,
I've had many scopes of all types over the years. Had my LX90 for about a year now and have to say it is probably the most impressive scope I've had. Easy to use, excellent optics and just plain fun. Check out the Yahoo LX90 forum. All the owners love their scope.

You can't go wrong with the LX90

Hope this helps

I work for NASA and we aren't going to buy from AT

Herb,
This guy is scary. I hope he is not a representative of who works at or with NASA, if so, the program is doomed.
