Tak Mewlon 210 and Sky 90 on Giro Alt-Az Mount

Posted By Darian Rachal

Very attractive set up, Robert. Is it rock steady on this mount? The Giro has always interested me. DR

Extension tube needed

Posted By Darian Rachal

Kurt, Contact Ken's Rings & Telescope Accessories at their link on Astromart. Ken might be able to fabricate you something long enough & solid. If you contact him, tell him I made the recommendation.:-) He's a friend of mine. DR

CNN- Complicit in Iraqi torture?

Posted By Darian Rachal

Ed, I'm not trying to change the subject, but how much do you hear on the networks about the situation in Zimbabwe? What's taking place there is incomprehensible & you really have to dig for information about it. But anyone dealing with reality could have anticipated what "self rule" would bring to Rhodesia. The same thing may likely occur in South Africa, eventually.

My sister died today

Posted By Darian Rachal

Brian, I know it is very difficult when we lose someone that we love very much. I suggest you consider all the positive ways that your sister affected your life. Both life & death are mysteries. Respectfully, Mr. Darian Rachal

You guys still...

Posted By Darian Rachal

Yeah Joe, but it looks like only a matter of days until they overtake Telescope Making and take hold of the #3 slot. I suspect that this "war business" accounts for Off Topics high numbers. I'm glad someone else is keeping up with this stuff. :-)

Flatest, Blackest Black Paint?

Posted By Darian Rachal

David, At one time, Edmund, in their Optics catalog, not the general catalog, sold cans of the flat black paint used for camera interiors. I'm not sure what the size was, or if they still do sell it. It might be worth checking into. DR

Posted By Darian Rachal

John, Check with Ken Dauzat at Ken's Rings on the AstroMart home page. I think he can make something for your exact specifications. DR
