Nagler 7 or Nagler 5?

Posted By Linton Rohr
Hi Bill,
Have you tried the Radians? You might consider a 5mm Radian. I like them for high power. I have an old 4.8 Nagler, but I usually use a 6, 5 or 4mm Radian when I'm going for power. Then again, I haven't even tried the T6 Naglers. They might blow the 4.8 out of the water, er uh sky, for all I know. So many EP's, so little dollars. wink

Inexpensive roll up table

Posted By Linton Rohr
Excellent Floyd!
I've been wanting to replace my wooden foldout tables with something larger and sturdier. This looks like just the thing. Thanks for sharing - as always.

Meade 40mm SWA series 4000 on fast scopes

Posted By Linton Rohr
Not real good Andre. You're better off with a Panoptic, if you can afford it. Or a Nagler, of course. But, for the price, the Meade SW is a pretty good buy, imho.
I wonder how well a Paracorr would work with it. Anyone?

Right Ken, our SoCal weather and sky conditions have been fantastic this year. NOT!
It IS terribly frustrating... :S

Ultra Dark Sky Trip, UT

Posted By Linton Rohr
Sounds great Martin! grin
I've been checking out the light pollution maps of SE Utah and it looks awesome. There's a little town called Torrey, just west of Capitol Reef N.P. that we'd like to move to in a few years. It's at the north end of the Escalante highway. It shows up as a little blue spot, surrounded by black. I drive for an hour or two to get to places that would be like the middle of town there (pop. 300). shocked
If your looking at the list of C.S.C. locations in Utah, check out Goblin Valley State Park. That's a possibility. The whole area looks great. Actually, anything east of Zion and Bryce N.P. is looking really good. My dream at the moment though, is to set up in Monument Valley, watch the sunset, and marvel at the heavens all night. That would have to be utterly fantastic.
Good luck with your trip.

Good luck with the weather Floyd.
Our current rainfall in the L.A. area, may put us into all time record status. The last time it rained 38" here was in 1890. The population of Los Angeles at that time was 15,000, to put that into historical perspective. shocked
Linton - ok, that's enough now...
