Anyone with experience on the Intes Micro M500D

Posted By James Witt

Can't help with the the M500D but I have a Intes MK91 (9" maksutov-cassegrain) and the Intes MN56(Maksutov-Newtonian. Both are built like tanks with outstanding optics. I can't tell you much about the focuser they came with or even if they came with one. I put a Clements focuser on the MK91 and the MN56 had a JMI NGF DX-1 already installed. I am "very happy" with both of this (to say the least).

Mosquito protection

Posted By James Witt

I thought this was interesting:

Caution should be shown when using DEET repellents around other pesticides. Research by Duke University in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, has shown that the combined exposure to DEET and the common mosquito insecticide, permethrin, causes severe cellular damage.

Skynyx camera and Maxim DL

Jim,

I too am not answering your question but I agree with Gianluca. You can also try it free for 30 days and see for yourself. Easy to use, I have ve never read the doc(s) 8O and great support if you happen to need it.
