Interesting comments regarding criminal killed

I'm only posting this to give you an idea of people's attitudes when a criminal is killed in New Orleans by police. Scroll through the comments.

The atitude is basically "one less POS in the world". :S

First 1.25" ocular you purchased?

Posted By Darian Rachal

I was thinking about the first 1.25" ocular I purchased way back in 1971(I was 17). It was a University Optics 40mm Kellner. I paid $9.95ppd. It came in a little box with a lid and a red velvet lining.

Prior to it, the only oculars I owned were the .965s" that came with my Jason 60mm refractor.

I viewed it as a 'real' ocular and was very impressed with it.

Just curious about anyone else's first 1.25" ocular. smile

Car AC filter replacement?

Posted By Darian Rachal

Does anyone have a recommendation for an online place to buy auto parts at a good discount. I need to replace the AC filter, located in the glove compartment of my Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix. Locally they cost from $27.00-$40.00. So far, the places I checked online are not much better w/shipping.

Any recommendations? Thanks.

Phil, How long have you had the problem? Have you tried deleting your cookies? Sometimes that has an odd way of clearing up problems.

Eye Relief for Eyeglass Wearers?

Posted By Darian Rachal

I have a pair of Celeston 7X42 Ultimas that have adequate eye relief so that I do not need to take off my glasses when using them. I'm not sure what the ER is, nor have I made an effort to measure it.

Does anyone have an idea of how much ER is necessary to not use glasses? I am assuming around 15mm or so.
