Weiner To Resign

Posted By Greg Shaffer
Yes but I hear he is running for President

Rumor has it that Anthony Weiner is going to run for president.
He has chosen attorney general Eric Holder as his running mate.
Get your Weiner-Holder bumper stickers early,
before they are all gone.

Poor guy, has no other useful job skills besides being a career politician. And in this tough job market. It's very emasculating for big ego guys like him to live off their wives.

Maybe in some small corner of his mind, he'll realize that the country would be better off if more of our politicians actually had real-life work experience before declaring themselves experts on economics, healthcare, and national security. Naaah.

search ads by number

Go to the "classifieds" main page, scroll to the bottom, see the search prompt at the far right side. Type in the ad number and hit the search button.

Ad Keeps Disappearing from Astromart's Classified

Posted By Greg Shaffer
I suspect it may have something to do with how its posted.....most items you named a price. However I did notice there was one where you stated something to the effect of "best offer over $100 before a certain date. That is an auction and does not belong in the classified area. Your ad is likely being deleted because it violates the TOS.

I have just replaced my ad for the third time. Once placed, it disappears within half a day or less. When placing the ad, I move through the stages and am able to "Place the Ad" and to view and confirm it. However, the last radio button, "Done" is never finalized with a "green" light.

Any ideas what is causing this? I am using Firefox 8.0.1 and Norton AntiVirus 2012, version 19.2.0.10

Thanks for your help.

What are your most unforgettable telescopic sights

Posted By Greg Shaffer
Like most there is a list.....but at the top of that list is one spectacular view that I will carry with me the rest of my life. It was the catalyst that led me down the astronomer's road by the nose.

I went to a public outreach night at Prarie Grass Observatory dark site just outside Lafayette Indiana. They had a 28" Dob, a 16" SCT and a pair of 100mm Oberwerk 40x binos on a parallelagram mount.

I was of course impressed with both the Dob and the SCT and was appropriately wowed....BUT when I looked through the binos I was hooked....The immersive feeling, the expansive view, it was a pivotal moment for me. Today, with 10's of thousands of $$ invested in this hobby I can still say without a shadow of doubt, not before or since that evening has anything had a more profound impact on me.

Within a couple days I had found and purchased my 1st real telescope an 8" cardboard tube Dob and within a couple months had a pair of APM 100mm binos AND an identical mount to the one I used that night....Its been 8 years now and I can still close my eyes and feel it....I will never forget it.

6mm Ethos versus 6mm Delos

Posted By Greg Shaffer
I have 3 sets of EP and some strays

1. Baader Hyperions - full set and these are what I share with the public.

2. University HD planetaries - full set and I share these with the public.

3. Pentax XW's full set - I share these with me, myself and I, rarely even get them out unless its just me smile

I have looked thru a lot of others including Ethoi....Still have the XW's

and I am getting warm fuzzies about it from what I read in the other replies LOL
