The perfect scope?

Posted By Anthony Lutton
I'm getting to where I'm covered on aperture satisfaction for all ranges (see sig). I have the small, medium and larger scopes for different sessions and its nice.

All of mine are perfect scopes, not because I use them all the time (I use them all at different times), but because they each fill a niche.

Same here, ordered it on Weds and had it Friday morning in Ohio.

It's official

Posted By Anthony Lutton
Huh. At least it isn't by Meade. (Not that I don't like Meade, I own an LX200 and lots of their things). This will at least keep competition up and bring products around.

Wonder how stuff will change in the next few years?

EDIT: Haha! I posted "how stuff will change in the next few years" exactly at the same time Randy Roy did...

Discovery 12.5" PDHQ

Posted By Anthony Lutton
The Discovery has a nice look to it, are you going "trick it out" like Hal P did to his? Maybe a 7" finder and platinum highlights?!

Enjoy your new scope, I hope to pickup my 14" May 7 from the builder *fingers crossed!*

Strehl 0.991 +8"+350.00

Posted By Anthony Lutton
He has ok feedback, a picture of the actual upgrades listed, and a believable price for an Orion 8" tube.

The strehl/wavefront numbers seem high for an Orion mirror, but the ad doesn't scream scam to me at least.

Sky clock horror

Posted By Anthony Lutton
I agree with Chuck, I think it is supposed to look like that. You guys in Arizona have a broken clock with all that ugly black and dark blue.

Viva la white blocks!

Wait Times and Progress

Posted By Anthony Lutton
I ordered a 14" Tscope with a mirror from Alan Raycraft back in Sept 2004. I should be picking it up this weekend or next. So about 9 months for me.

I was originally told 5-6 months but a few minor problems set back time table.

Luckily, I have 2 scopes and 2 binos to enjoy while I wait, so it hasn't been terrible.

Evolution of the astronomer

Posted By Anthony Lutton
Money wasn't as much of an issue when I was single after college smile

I'm glad there is a diversity of interest also, I love seeing the pictures posted and interesting discussions.

To me, the biggest turnoff of photography was needing all the equipment and time to get really good. Even though I may stink at visual observing, at least nobody has any outward signs of it! (haha).
