A conspiracy?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Inge, while we're at it, even though you might NOT like this idea..... how about COOLING the planet a lil' bit, just enough for the Hurricanes to quit bugging me here in South Florida? I mean, c'mon, 6 months of Hurricane Season is a BIT TOO MUCH! 8)

Clear skies to all! wink

How much weight??

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

John, by reading several Forum posts in other boards (since I could NOT find much in Celestron's website about their own mount) it looks like the CG5-ASGT is rated at 30 pounds.

Hope this helps, 8)

The Lesser Leo Trio

Nice shot Jim!
I like the bottom one the most, which shows some "detail" in the structure... the top ones are pretty much "featureless".
