I think the LZOS interferometric reports are probably pretty useful, for comparing between LZOS lenses.

FS 128 vs AP superplanetary or TMB 130Posted By Mike Clemens |
>> Curiously, f/ratios range from 6 to 12.
>> I'm up for visual, mostly planets...
Kind of an old thread I know, but I have owned
all three at one time or another over the last
five years, for what you want.... it's the
AP6" F/12 SUPER PLANETARY
and by a great lead if you ask me!!!!!!

Made in America-press release from APPosted By Mike Clemens |
I enjoyed the segment, of course it was way too short for my taste. The AP history photos were neat. The products looked great and it was quite fun to see familiar names in motion and with voices. Mike Clemens

Jupiter and Io, 14th March 2007Posted By Mike Clemens |
I think thats the most detailed amateur image of Jupiter I've seen. You should shoot the same position for a few days and animate the clouds.

Just how big are those Deep Sky Objects?Posted By Mike Clemens |
Nice I've always wanted to see this done. I like comparisons like this. Thanks!
With the moon, you can compare it with the size of Earth bound objects - I took Alan Friedmans picture of crater Pitatus the other day and overlaid it with a picture of South Florida (and the Florida keys) scaled to size. Pretty startling to see how big Florida would look if we sent Alan to the moon with his telescope.

Equipment Cases?Posted By Mike Clemens |
My best bang for the buck has been cheap Quantary cases from Ritz photo. The Pelicans are getting cheaper though I notice and are higher quality than the Quantaray. I am sure you are aware of ScopeGuard cases, those have been the best for large/heavy equipment like scopes and mounts.
