Nagler Tele Vue 4.8mm?

Posted By Jerry Mason
Harry,

I haven't had the chance to look through a Hyperion yet (my 24mm is on backorder) but I have owned a 4.8mm Nagler. Eye relief was uncomfortable for me so I replaced it with a 5mm T6. I found that if I removed the rubber eyecup I could get my eye close enough to see the entire field of view. It was a sharp eyepiece.

It's good to have choices and with Astromart you can always buy one, change your mind, then try the other.

Arizona in April

And here's a shot of the Watch Tower at the Grand Canyon south rim. If you look closely you can see the waxing crescent moon (it was taken during the late afternoon on Friday). Ordinarily, I wouldn't have posted the image (it's not that special) but the inclusion of the moon seemed to fit here on Astromart.

Beautiful shot Ivan! I really like how the muted soft ocean and sky contrast with the crisp pier.

Here's My Handgun Choice, Yours . . .?

Posted By Jerry Mason
Hello Lee,

I've always been a rifle shooter (M14 .308) but recently found I needed a handgun to use in photo shoots showcasing law enforcement gear. Most police officers I know carry Glocks but after shooting a number of different manufacturers firearms I decided on an HK USP .45. It's accurate, lightweight (well, especially when compared to my M14) and beautifully made. I like the de-cocking feature -- although I must admit it freaked me out the first time to watch the hammer snap down while a live round was in the chamber.

Attached is a crowded cover shot with my HK and its case in the rear.

Here's a typical sunset. This shot was taken from Last Chance Canyon about halfway between Wahweap and Dangling Rope Marinas.

Primary Mirror Cell

Posted By Jerry Mason
Joe,

University makes a 9 point floatation version of their standard mirror cell from 14" on down. They listed them for a short while last year but took them off their web page. I called a month ago and found out that they will still make them, you just need to call or e-mail and it will take a few weeks. They aren't that much more expensive either.
