Have you ever taken a 10" Optical Craftsman and smashed it on stage??

stolen eyepieces

Posted By john mclaughlin

Hi Darrell,

I'm sorry this happened to you, not sure what I would do, probably flip out. Some people today have no respect for other people's property.

This may be too soon, but I have a Celestron E-Lux 25mm Plossl, a Celestron 20mm silvertop Plossl, and a Celestron 2x barlow, all 1.25", that you can have.

I'll ship it at my expense.

Hope that will help a little.

Field power generation equip

Posted By john mclaughlin

Hi,

I have the 2000 watt and it is excellent. Quiet and easy to start. I use it for camping though, to run TV's, radio's, coffee makers, microwaves, and laptops. Highly recommended. I got mine for about 850 shipped, I think.

Hi, I find myself tired hauling around all these heavy batteries for my astrophotography outfit in the field (camera, mount, STV, laptop, heaters etc.). Has anyone had experience with one of these devices? I've never seen one in real life so would appreciate some perspective. The ad copy said it was quiet with very clean power output. Not sure if we can post an outside link, apologies if not:

Astroscan or Starblast

Posted By john mclaughlin

Get her a StarMaster not a Starblast. No seriously, don't forget Celestron makes scopes like the Astroscan.
