WSP Swap Meet info needed

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Gary, I've been to 3 WSPs and I have never seen anybody pull up with their car to the area, so most likely you'll have to haul you stuff into it...

Chairs, tables and the like are also to be provided by yourself, this was just a cleaned up area for us to display our stuff...



Clear skies! 8)

orion 120mm svp(f8.3) vs orion100mm ed

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

The 100ED is worth saving & waiting for... IMHO that would be the way to go...

I've looked through several achromats... and they they all show False Color... some more, some less, but they all do... (on bright objects)
The Minus Violet filter will help a bit, but it will NEVER give you APO performance...


If you can wait & save, get the 100ED, if not, then you have already made your choice... 8)


Clear skies! and good luck!
