Cool, wireless internet at the LAAS observation si

Very nice Floyd,

I have been thinking about doing that down at the cabin since my phone there seems to be doing better.

Is it expensive?

How to re-assemble an eyepiece?...

Posted By john mclaughlin

That hurts you guys, I was the buyer of the eyepiece.

When the box arrived, I could hear rattling going on inside and I knew it wasn't going to be good. I sent francois an e-mail asking if he had insured it, but he sent me my money back. Nice guy.

I understand where you are coming from though, because anyone could buy something and say it broke when it arrives and then replace it with their broken one. But the opposite could happen too.

I think it was just mishandled by USPS. It was boxed well.

I once had a 7mm Nagler sent to me rolling around in a 4x6 inch box without any protection at all. Not even a bolt case.

Actually, after re-reading the first post again, the eyepiece was still together when I got it, the glass inside rattled around.

This was about a year ago.

Hopefully he can get it together, I am still missing an eyepiece in that size.
