anyone know of any reviews on this scope?

Posted By John Meiners
Hugh, did you mean; shown as being "for sale" by Cindy Kenyon? I read; you wrote "being Sold" it is still for sale... She told me the scope was built by Bob Duke, who teaches at Mt. Hood CC. and writes a Science Col. in the Oregonian... MS must stand for Morning Star, and the primary must be 10" JM

Observing Locations near San Francisco

Posted By John Meiners
Joe, to find any viewing sites that even remotely qualify for "dark" I would suggest driving West towards the Coast. South of Half Moon Bay. Pescadero Beach and down.. not too much farther though, because then you run into the lights of Santa Cruz!! Skyline (the highway that runs along the Coast Mountains) is a good dark refuge also, just have to find a clearing... thick old growth timber.. Good Luck, John Meiners, Astoria, OR

$400.00 TV. Widefield ??

Posted By John Meiners
Seller contacted me.. he based his price on a 40mm. Smoothie he saw here on the Mart.. to see this beautiful EP. go to "user profile" and type in first name box: J.Antonio last name box: Dominguez click on classifieds and you will see his pictured ad for the 40. This EP reminds me of the new Panoptic 41. Have never seen this EP before, would surely pick it up if I did.. JM
