Hello everyone
Would like to gauge the temperature of the amateur astronomer community about the ability of renting telescopes and equipment. I am working through the logistics, insurance, method of payment and the possible terms for the renter, but I am looking at renting some specific scopes as well as eyepieces, (All Naglers and Ethos) video equipment (Mallincam, and Stellicam)as well as the following scopes: W.O. 110, 127, GTF-81, GTF-71,127. Larger sizes on request. I would also be adding a TEC 140 and a AP 130GT. Rental would be for a week. Looking at prices around $25.00 a week for the Naglers and Ethos and $100.00 and up for the scopes for a week. Renter would pay shipping both ways as well as insurance. Just in the infancy stage, but would ask for all input moving forward. Have all of this equipment, so might as well put it to good usage. If someone was considering one of the focal lengths, this would give them the idea of weight, size and what they could see. If this starts to slowly grow, I plan on offering a mount or 2, as well as expanding into other manufactures. For right now, I am staying with refractors only.
Thanks
Tony

I just sold a Mewlon 210 and I loved it!!! I am north of Pittsburgh, so you know how the skies are around here

I just purchased a 12' Astrohaven dome complete with the walls and door. Perhaps I could answer or know someone who can answer your questions?

when trying to contact an add it comes up Unable to send message
Also if you reply to an add, for some reason I cannot respond to that individual again if I have an other question. Is this going to get fixed?

While I understand the need for security (I am in the field) I do have a problem when trying to log on and all the pictures come up acknowledging that I am not a robot.  I should not need to verify for 15 minutes trying to explain that I am not a robot.  Some of the pictures are very grainy and hard to read.  Selecting sidewalks, motorcycles and busses over and over is an over kill for a pay to use astronomy web site.  
There needs to be a simpler way of authenticating.
