The main goal of this operation is not to avenge 9-11, but to prevent a much worse attack in the future.

I've owned one and it was a good eyepiece for the price. I would say best results are gotten by far with a flat field; a slower f/ratio newt or moderate speed refractor would be the best bets for it. Edge correction is very poor in fast f/ratios/curvy fields. In the right scope it's very nice for the price. I will say it does require a lot of backfocus. Any other questions feel free to ask

Left-leaning academic departments...why?

Posted By Andrew Riehl

simple--they're not living in the real world. What college student in the history of the world has not wanted to stay in college forever? Living off somebody elses money, little if any responsibilities for your actions, I think we all get the point. College students live the ideal socialistic life. Those wanting to hang on to such a life simply don't leave. You know, college life sounds a lot like hollywood....
One of my best friends is about as far 'left' as you can get. Naturally he's been out of college for a long time now, lives with his parents, and doesn't have a job. I guess it's his way of staying in socialism...
