Hey, sounds interesting Rod!

Ringside show? Hehe. I get it. 8)
I got my first decent look at Saturn this year on Saturday night,
and I was amazed at how much lower the rings have tilted.
They were approaching maximum tilt when I got my first scope,
and I am looking forward to seeing them flatten out over the next year. grin

Thanks for sharing, Dan.

Recommendations moving from refractor to?

Posted By Linton Rohr

Perhaps a Starmaster V-11, Bill?
I believe they can mount on a GEM.
And the Zambuto optics would certainly please you.
I haven't tried one, but I'd like to. smile

Something a little smaller...
An Amgala H3-5 chondrite from the western Sahara.
A 15g individual from the Hupe collection.
Nice fusion crust, with a chipped off window.

free ethos compliments Uncle Sam

Well Darren, it used to be your money in the first place, until they took it from you.
Still, it's always good to get it back! wink

Great idea, investing in some new astro-gear!
After all, the idea is to stimulate the economy.
I can't think of a better sector of the economy to support,
than that of the astonomy community, preferably a US-based company. 8)
