Posted By Darian Rachal

Jim, I didn't see your post, but although it was a joke it seems to have some validity. I think you are correct about "acceptance" wink DR

The Ad That Started it All

Posted By Darian Rachal

Aaron, I remember the ad & how I thought $45.00 seemed to be such a high price, considering that premium orthos were going for around $35.00. smile

Extreme Mag. with Ranger

Posted By Darian Rachal

Scott, 200X is not unreasonable at all w/the Ranger if the seeing conditions are favorable; particularly on double stars. On the moon or planets you'll just have to experiment to see what the optimum magnification will be.

Like you, I've tried various barlows & always prefer using a small f.l. ocular for high magnification. I ended selling both my TV 2X & 5X here on AM.

How would you rate this one ?

Posted By Darian Rachal

David, If it bothers you to give him a favorable rating, perhaps you should not rate him at all. I believe that's what I would do.
