I am considering getting a Orion 100mm f/6 refractor OTA.
Any advice/comments? Anyone own one? What would be the highest magnification the scope can be taken? Suggested
EPs. Also, any advise/comments on an Orion EZ Finder II.
I've read that the refractor may produce a halo around
bright objects. Would an Orion V-Block filter help?
I've researching products now, and these are in my price range. Any used ones out there? All advice is very welcome.
Thanks, Marilyn.

I have an Orion 100mm/f6 ST, and I'd need more contrast and sharper views. Researched both the Lumicon Deep Sky and
Astronomik UHC. "Can't decide which would be better."
I live in northern Michigan which has moderate to low light
pollution. Any suggetions? Thanks, Marilyn.

I will have clear skies tonight and am taking out my
Hasselblad 500c/m with an 80mm lens for some northern Michigan Milky Way shots. Any recommended exsposure times/apeture setting? I would prefer non - star trail shots. Shots will be at slow film speeds: ASA 50 color slides and ASA 100 B+W on a tripod. All response greatly appriciated. Thanks, Marilyn.
