I see a lot of carl zeiss theolodite telescopes. What are they used for and what makes them so expensive? Just wondering.

i messed up badly...

Posted By Alex (Jun) Chen

in attempting to clean my sct, i used isopropyl alcohol and all that other good stuff. However, as i applied strokes to the corrector, larger and much more visible oily marks began to appear. Now my corrector is smudged so much, it's pretty much like a mirror on some parts of the corrector. Is there something i'm doing wrong?

Re: are we crazy?

Posted By Alex (Jun) Chen

no we are not. this guy is an idiot. we do not just attack when slightly provoked by some extremist groups. our goal is not to kill everyone who doesn't like us. contrary to what t. roosevelt said, we should not, "walk quietly and carry a big stick." it is really a juvenile way to deal with issues promoted by someone who knows jack sh*t about real-world political issues.

Posted By Alex (Jun) Chen

This question has been posted in the Meade Forum, but no one has been able to produce a definite answer thus far. Does anyone know what Meade is planning on right now? If you check the website, it says it will introduce the biggest advancement in telescopes since the lx200's. Just wond. Thanks.

Do you know what's up with Meade?

Posted By Alex (Jun) Chen

Being the owner of Anacortes and all, do you know what's the big surprise Meade is about to hand us? Thanks.

Why is God so angry?

Posted By Alex (Jun) Chen

I, myself, am not Christian, but I know many Christians from our community. A select few always tell me that I (and other non-Christians) are condemned because of our religious, or non-religious, affiliates. Why must God smite all who do not convert? Can't he love everyone, like Buddha? It seems as if Christians believe that even the most [insert negative adjective] Christian would still deserve a place in heaven over the most hard-working, honest, and kind non-believers.

It's okay, because in flushing the Koran, we are sending a message of peace and LIBERTY throughout the middle east. :S
