Need some advice

Posted By Bill Madewell
Guys,
I bought a Meade 2080 SCT, but it did not come with a rear cell attachment. The scope is in perfect condition by checking it over.
Looking at it when I got it, it has 2 threaded areas,inner and outer threads, and a plastic plug was placed into it keepout the dust.
So at this moment, I have NO way to moount a star diagnal or other attachment to it. I checked A-mart for a long time to see if anybody was selling a rear cell, and I have looked over Anacortes, and they do not sell such an aattachment. So my question is, where can I find this rear cell for sale ?
Any help will be most appreciated. I suspect that the scope was made back in the Mid-1980's....

Thankyou ,
Bill

Astronomy Museum?

Posted By Bill Madewell
Hey Scott,
I agree with your idea for a place to bring together ALL the great successes and technical advances of Astronomy. Amature as well as Professional stepping stones.
There is Hall of Fame places everywhere,Museums for this and that, but not one dedicated truely to Astronomy and exspecially to Amatures.
Question is, where would you put it, how would it be supported, and ideas how it can serve the many interest of all of us who love veiwing the sky ?

Im sure you as well as many others have thought of this for many years, what do you think?
