TMB on New DM-6

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Better late than never...
BEAUTIFUL SETUP DANNY!! 8)
I looked through a 6" and an 8" TMB APO down at the Winter Star Party in 2003... what a beautiful view it was...

Their size was humbling though, once mounted on the G-11s that they were... (and me, being a 5' 7" guy, well, I felt even smaller then... wink )


Thanks for sharing! and ENJOY IT! wink

Flocking a C9.25

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Vince, my friend Jay Emirzian did that on his 9.25 SCT, but I'm not 100% sure if it was a carbon fiber tube or not...

He actually did a review on the whole process, and posted it in the "reviews section" here on Astromart...

Here, I found the link to it for you...

Bennett, I guess many of us are still waiting for a review, as I have not seen or heard any word on it from anybody yet... (are they shipping already? as far as I knew they were still on backorder)
