the next AP scope production run ?

Posted By Harry Drutok
Andy, I've been on the list since 2001. Since you've been on the list since 99, I guess I have a way to go sad

Hi Folks,
Thank you. I guess I take things like this too hard.

Folks,
Thanks for all the help. I wasn't aware a deal had to be completed before a rating was given. I definitely didn't mean to break the rules smile I have deleted the rating given and hope the other individual will follow my lead.

Congrats. I'm 53 and have two grandsons (4 and 1)and another grandchild due next July.

It's great because when they start screaming you can hand them back to their parents smile

It is truly a blessing.

Looking For Opinions

Posted By Harry Drutok
Hi Folks,
Well, I received my SM 40. I took the scope out this morning for first light and saw several prominences at the 4 and 6 o'clock positions. I was surprised at the detail. They looked like wispy hairs with distinct shape. The surface also revealed detail. It was; however, not quite what I expected. I thought it would look like the pictures, a boiling yellow caldron with flares all over. The detail was more subtle, but intriguing. I like it!
I think I will buy more eyepieces. I just have the 25 CEMAX it came with. Also, I may doublestack it one of these days. Regards, Harry

TOA-150 on a Losmandy G-11?

Posted By Harry Drutok
Hello William,
I think it would be fine for visual. I had a 6" F-12 riding on top on my G-11 without problem. However, it proved marginal in windy conditions. You also may want to invest in a Losmandy 12" pier extension. That would make for more comfortable viewing. I am confident a G-11 woulds carry it just fine.

Regards,
Harry
