Canon's 10D & D60 are amongst the favorites on this area... and they DO SHOW WHY!


They are just incredible!



Clear skies!

All the people happy all the time?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Hmmmmmm, now where did we put the Cheese & the Crackers to go with the W...?

Complains? Demands? Whining? WHY? Astromart is FREE for all of us, we adjust to it's ways, we don't adjust it to ours...

If you have something to sell, the interested people will find you... if not, well, it just was not needed by anybody at the time... that's the way it goes.

If you don't like it, well.... there's always THE OTHER place... (ewwww!!)





Thanks Herb, I love this place!

Used Meade 16" or New 14":?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Hello John!

I personally would go with the 14", and spend the "savings" on a variety of accessories, like good quality eyepieces, CCD camera or Digital SLR, etc, etc.
I don't think that at the 14" point the extra 2" would make such a critical improvement, but the difference in money is not something to laugh about... (even in the USED market)

I sure hope you have a fixed area for these scopes, as I do not consider them "PORTABLE"...(specially the 16"!)



Anyways, this is just my opinion, but any one you decide to get at the end will be a great scope nonetheless!



Clear skies, and good luck!

WSP

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Dale, I know you will find a ticket for the WSP!
Normally they start showing up a month or so before the event... when people realize that they cannot make it there... just be patient & be alert!

Hope to see you there, so I can meet you in person!

P.S.
Also, unless things have changed, you could get a "regular" ticket and upgrade it to a "CAMPING" one when you get there, and you pay the difference... (so I was told this last WSP)

Viewing RealTime via network.....Help????

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Hmmmm, not sure Tom, as you'll still be going through that laptop...
I pretty much picture it as remote controlling the laptop via PCAnywhere or VNC, but I cannot see how you would be capturing video real-time into your desktop. First would have to go to the laptop, and then to the desktop...

If you remote control the laptop, then you'll be seeing real-time what's going on in your laptop, but it will not be ON your desktop until you transfer the data... sorry.


Maybe somebody else might have another idea...



Good luck, and clear skies!
