observatory in rafters

Posted By Sonya Ward

Hi Fusion,
I thought the same thing, everybody thinks vibration would be a problem. I think we should just build a hugh observatory and live in it. Sorry to say my hubby doesnt think so. But there is allways the garage huh!

Hi Mike,
I have the Lumicon O111 and I was looking at a perfect Veil Sunday morning, not to mention the Ring. Lumicon makes good stuff.

Hi Michael,
Hi James,
James,That kydex is the best I'v seen. Found out it gets real flexible if your warm it in the sunlight first.
Mike, your mirror cell works great and fits like a glove. It is so well made and very easy to use. The mirror stays pretty much in collimation because it supported so well, I think you have an excellent product there Mike.
Clear skies and happy viewing.

Hi David,

As I get closer to my 8" scope, I'm starting to re

Posted By Sonya Ward

Hi Sarah,
My first scope was a 8"sct. I still have it always will but just recently built a 16" dob with the help of my friends here. While the dob is great I still love my 8". But here's the thing a girl never have too many scopes so purchase the scope and then after a while you will want a different one. Oh and I would not hesitate one minute to purchase from anybody that has good rating here at astromart. There are some good people here. I always check astromart first before I purchase something. Have fun and you will love the Dob.
