I dumped AOL, and now have MSN.
My old e mail address was [email protected]
It's now [email protected].

Seems like evetything is working fine without changing anything.

Whats the worst scope you had?

Posted By Charles Peterson
Ok guys and gals,

We just did a thread on the most perfect scope.
So what is the worst scope you have owned?
Bad optics, mount, or other is fine.

Cant log on with AOL?

Posted By Charles Peterson
For some reason i cant log onto AM with my AOL like i have for years. I redid my user name and password many times but it won't work.

I cant use AM just fine with my Roadrunner account.

Just wondered what the heck could be wrong?

Thanks Chas

NEW C6 = Clouds

Posted By Charles Peterson
Well after about a year of being scopeless i broke down and bought a used C6 CG5 GO-TO here off of Astromart. The guy was only about 45 miles from me, the prices was right and the scope looked factory new with very little use.

I bought the scope Sat morning and the clouds rolled in and are staying put for a while. The OTA looks just like a pint size C8 with the nice looking XLT coatings. The GO-TO CG5 mount that came with the C6 was swapped for my friends non GO-TO CG5 with dual drives, he kept his custom wood legs and i kept the new 2" steel tripod legs that came with my mount.

The newer CG5 with the 2" steel legs is so much better than the first Gen CG5 i bought back in 1997 with the small flimsy metal legs, and also the axis are much smoother feeling than my older CG5 with rough and sticky feeling axis of my first Gen CG5.

I think this should be a rock soild mount for C6.

Contact info for Don Rothman?

Posted By Charles Peterson
Anyone have phone number for Don Rothman? He sold all kinds of hard to get scope parts and stuff. I think the company name was Teletrade.

Company that can clean eyep's?

Posted By Charles Peterson
I just picked up a older RV8 8" f/8 Newt and i it came with a Celestron Polaris finder. The optics are pretty mucked up!

Is there a company that clean the optics and eyepiece on the 8x50 finder?

Red level support?

Posted By Charles Peterson
Is the red level support going to stay the same or change?

Nice to see the Day in the Life back on the forums.
