Dew heater wire managementl

Posted By Mike Clemens

I cant believe how expensive those Kendrick heater strips are. Close to $100 for a single heater for a 6" to 8" diameter tube (shipped.) Does anyone else make heater strips?

Nice.. what a location. I like it even better cropped a bit down to remove any hint of the sky.

Binoviewers any Opinions?

Tony the Tiger said it best. "They're greaaat!" I'll never go back to one eye for planets or lunar, or at least, as little as feasible.

He's just off his medication, or faking it.

Oh wait you said Bush, not Rush!

A Different Kind of Vision Correction

Posted By Mike Clemens

I have concerns... One... losing one.... your old glasses wont help for days? Two... does your vision degrade by the end of the day. Astronomy is usually the last part of a day for me.

Overall this sounds amazing!

TEC 140 and TeleVue NP101

Posted By Mike Clemens

beautiful scopes.. what kind of magnification were you using ?

Izar was beautiful in my 4" TMB, it was also very beautiful in my later larger refractors but the view in the 4" for sure had its own thing going.
