Orion EON 120mm F7.5 APO is a winner

Posted By Doug Peterson
Mine bears a striking resemblance to a Takahashi FS128 in star test, essentially perfect and little color error. The cosmetics are very nice, no plastic, aluminum cap; the logo on the dewcap is either painted or a very nice transfer, not a stick on label, very classy. All gleaming black and chrome accents. I think this is what we've been waiting for since the ED80 and 102 ED F7 budget bargains.

Meade ACF central obstructions?

Posted By Doug Peterson
I see that Meade doesn't publish central obstructions for there cats anymore. Anyone know what the COs are? I am particularly interested in the 12 and the 14.

Einstein's personal telescope restored, on display

Posted By Doug Peterson
It appears to be a 6" F12 Newtonian, therefore probably a spherical mirror, helical focuser, made and donated by a friend.
