Rating Color

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Jim, there's no particular significance for the colors. They change according to how many "ratings" you have accumulated... but that's all... nothing fancy... 8)

Once you hit YELLOW, you know your are on TOP! wink

etx 105

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Used items (in very good to great condition) "normally" sell for about 75-85% of the Retail value... (so, for example, if the item sells for $1000 new, you could sell it here for about $800-850. But that's all a personal decision, as you could try to ask for more, and then lower the price if it does not sell)

Searching for some ETX105s in the Classifieds, I've seen them in the $500-$700 range, depending on accessories & condition.

orion 100mm ed

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Itz, IMHO most galaxies ARE fuzzballs... until you go into DARK SKIES & LARGE optics...
The 100ED won't be much different than the ETX105 in that respect... as you'll have a wider field of view, but it still will be a 4" scope... 8)
(we must keep our expectations accordingly...)



Clear skies!

Beautifully done Vince...

You nicely merged the Trapezium area into the Full blown Nebulosity, making a very smooth transition... COOL! 8)

etx 105 trade

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Itz, everything is possible, and we could talk all day about it, but your best bet is simply to place a TRADE AD in the classifieds and see what happens... wink


Good luck! 8)
