I can certainly tell it could have the potential of turning into one "hellish" thread though...

Buying damaged scopes cheap and fixing them.

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Kenneth, it all depends on WHAT KIND of damage are we talking about...
Is it all just superficial damage? How are the optics on the scope?


Let us know, wink

Seeing Questions?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
David, collimation is very important, but I doubt very much that this is your problem...

From what you mention, it seems as if the Seeing was just against you, and would not allow to do any high mag work at all... (I've heard of many times about Maine's area Jet problem & the Seeing)

If looking at The Moon was as bad as you picture, then I would most certainly say that the atmosphere was VERY unstable. (I'm taking into consideration that your scope had plenty of cool down time, and that the temperatures were steady...)



Clear dark cool steady skies to all! 8)

I don't understand

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
David and all... I'm with you guys... sorry, but the review simply made no sense, unless you plan on living the scope as an ornament in the living room... or you just enjoy paying for something broken and love fixing it...

I sure do love my ED-80, which "used, in like BNIB condition" costed me the same... 8)



Clear skies to all!

Man on Moon?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Well, I would certainly love to see us back on The Moon... but by looking at how bad things are around us, I'm not so sure it will happen any time soon... (ditto on the "being mistaken" part) wink


Clear skies, mis amigos! 8)
