What's wrong with the new format?

Posted By Rolando Chavez

What's going on with the ad pics? They're all too big for the space allowed? You can only see part of the image...Looks like you have to right click on the image and then click on view image to see it properly sized...

More problems with new format?

Posted By Rolando Chavez

I see some ads are showing a pic in the preview but when you click on the ad no image is present...for example ad # 825910, 825908,825903,825896,825895, 825894 and many more.

Do you like the new ad format better?

Posted By Rolando Chavez

Initially, not at all. Now, with the pictures correctly displayed and price info underneath instead of on the right side, I consider it an improvement even though there was never anything wrong with the previous format.

Clave 100mm f/6 & Eyepiece set

Posted By Rolando Chavez

My rarest find to date, a Clave 100mm f/6. I know Clave didn't actually make telescopes but this is one professionally made scope out of anodized aluminum.I checked the collimation and its perfect. The focuser is also Clave and very smooth.Objective has deep purple coatings like none I've seen before.

Saturn 31 May 2015

Posted By Rolando Chavez

Imaged with the old Orange C14 under good seeing conditions. Image is actual size no enlargement was done during minimal processing. Its rare for these conditions as low as Saturn is now. Scope was well acclimated and collimation was tweaked on nearby star of similar latitude as Saturn. I particularly like seeing the globe through the Cassini's division.

I-Pad Issues...

Posted By Rolando Chavez

Not sure if anything could be done but when I respond to an e-mail for one my items that's for sale, the response goes to Amart and not the interested party. When I respond using my computer it goes to the members email. I only have this problem with the I pad

Shipping charges

Posted By Rolando Chavez

Was going to buy 4 eclipse glasses but when I saw the $17 for UPS and $22 for USPS I canceled the order. You can put them in an envelope at 3 oz. tops and mail for $1.50
