Intane Optics "Beware" Do not buy!!!!

Posted By Keith Lawson

That's just flat wrong shocked

Such a beautiful instrument. That's horrible customer support from Intane! I wonder if they realize how this is going to affect their future sales. I almost bought my lens from them just to save some bucks. Thanks for the warning.

Orion XT8G

Posted By Keith Lawson

Ordered a XT12g a couple of days ago. Will report soon. Yes, the 8" optics impressed me that much. The setup and ease of use was impressive as well. I can set the XT8g in a couple of minutes. I plan on using a front wheel and handles for setup of the 12. This should make the setup as fast, if not faster, for the 12. Since this will be a "dead lift" my back shouldn't complain too much.

Let's see how well the 12 performs wink

Read Genesis 1 again. The six day process was not a "creative" process. It was a "remake". This is a big error many make.

Are you sure you want the answers? Unless you can comprehend the "spiritual" things you will not recieve the answers IMO. This is where many here miss the points. They only understand the physical things. They the think physical universe is all there is and this limits their understanding. As the Apostle Paul stated: But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned. (1 Co 2:14)

There many here that fit this catagory. I know the responses to this post will not be favorable. I know that there are certain "persons" that can't wait to pounce on this one.

C8 Fork Conversion to GEM

Posted By Keith Lawson

Pushed to it's limit. A quick rig up of a recently acquired C11 OTA. Tube a bit beat up but the optics cleaned up real well. After a few nights of testing the optics were found to be very well corrected. I'm a refractor guy but for some strange reason I have a soft spot (not in my head) for SCT's. The setup is a little shaky but very usable.
