BRAND SPANKIN' NEW TOYS

Well, here we go, finally got all the pieces together for the "portable" setup, which I plan on using for my Astrophotography outings... 8)

William Optics SD-66 for Guiding
William Optics Zenithstar 80 II ED for WideField photography
William Optics dovetail & rings.
Orion Atlas EQ-G Mount

All I need now is clear skies, but with these, I doubt it will be anytime soon... wink

Clear skies to all! 8)

Bill, if the subscription was under your wife's name, HOW is it that they changed it to your name? Did she use your credit card to pay for it? (not defending them, but their system might have defaulted to credit card owner name... or the like) :S


Clear skies!

Keep it up! 8)

Re: NO RESPONSE deserving of ratings?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Michael, I feel your pain... been there, done that... 8)

But, if I were you, I'd just LET IT GO...
It is just not worth the hassle, and the problems it could bring afterwards... being a retaliation from the other side, or even worst, being kicked for using the ratings the "wrong" way...

Of course, these are just my 2 cents... spend them wisely... wink



Clear skies, and good luck!

Re: how come we never see these on the 'mart

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Greg, I could be wrong, but this seems to be OTA & Mount, and not just the OTA... (researched this combo on other sites)
It also "sports" an FS-102 and an 11x70 as finders... 8)

I would like to know WHO is doing this... :S
Now, the question is, him being in Canada, do any of our laws apply? I don't see why they would...
