No astro equipment in house/ No 7 " Meade Mak

Hello all,
In the past week I got to visit about 10 homes that I have not been in before. Each time Im in one, the first thing I notice is 'no telescope'.
It seems very odd to be in a house where theres no scope set up in the living room, no astro books in the bookscase, no Sky & Tel or Astronomy on the coffee table.

Also in the July Sky and Tel, theres no 7" Mak listed in the Meade LX 200 ad. Has it been discontinued?

John,

The 7" Mak is still available through Anacortes' website. And you need to get new friends.

Sympathetically,

Walter

There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.
