Backing out of deals

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Michael, I never had a problem dealing with people in Astromart... so far all has been great, people have been very responsive and all deals went through fine...


I personally had to back out of a deal once, well, not really backing out, but had a personal problem and asked the seller if he could wait a week for me... he took it the wrong way and decided to put the item back on sale... (needless to say, I bought a similar (better) item a week later...)


I really like Astromart... it's got a good bunch of people and we all share our love for Astronomy...




Clear skies, and good luck on your future deals!

Best Wide Field Eyepiece

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

David, not sure of what you have already as eyepieces...

You could try the University Optics 40mm MK-70, which is a great eyepiece, wide fields, low mags... just make sure you have a 2" diagonal. (this eyepiece is big & heavy)

Also, you can try an SCT reducer/corrector (like Meade or Celestron f/6.3) which works great for wider FOV's.


Clear skies! & good luck!
