Yeap. I've seen tons of these ads, and more, and wonder how come people still get away with this deceiving advertising...

Thanks to you all for a good laugh...

UO Orthos: filling a EP gap on a budget

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Hello Tom!

I have the whole set of UO orthos... and I love them! they are probably the best planetary eyepieces... (yes, their only shortcoming is the tight FOV)

Anyhow, if planets is what you want to look at, you might want to get an extra Ortho or two to complete your set... but you already are on the right track... the 12.5 and the 9 are definitely some of the best... the 6 will be good, but somewhat tight...

Good luck!


Clear skies to you all!

Tak FS Flourites - Quality ?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Same thing here......
I read his ad, and I went... hmmmmmmmmmmm.... I don't think so!

It upsets me very much when people type "crap" like that just to sell their scopes...

All we need now is somebody here selling his 675X 60mm scope... which views will match Hubble's Pictures...


Clear skies my friends!
