My favorite BushismPosted By Steve Mathis |
• "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." — Aug. 5, 2004, at the signing ceremony for a defense spending bill.
In hindsight, it seems he knew what he was saying.

Eyepieces
focal reducerPosted By Steve Mathis |
The focal reducer will give you lower power, wider field, and brighter image for a given eyepiece. An eyepiece that gives you 100x without the reducer will yield 63x with it, with a field about 1.6x bigger. It can also flatten the field, making the stars at the edge of the field sharper. Hope this helps!
