I'm looking for some comments from Maxscope users. Which would you prefer - a double-stacked 40mm or a single 60mm? Obviously the image of the Sun in the 40mm will be dimmer but more detailed. But would it be too dim for public viewing?

The double stacked 40mm is actually $600 cheaper than a 60mm and half the cost of the double stacked 60mm. Would appreciate any comments on this, thanks.

Has anyone been successful in using a color video camera (Astrovid Planetcam) with an H-Alpha filter? We've been trying to get a good image with one without success. A IR filter helped, but image detail is still very poor.

For the lunar eclipse I pulled out my old film camera and shot a couple of rolls. I haven't found a good local developer, and all the local camera stores have moved or gone out of business. Can anyone recommend an online service?

Not sure if this is appropriate place to ask, but has anyone else experienced a major problem with messages here on Astromart? I placed a classified ad last week and I was surprised that I got a lot of views but no offers or messages regarding the item. I figured no one was interested but then last night at about 9:30 EDT I got a flood of email messages from Astromart stating that I had private messages from the past several days. But when I go to my Inbox there is only one recent message!
