FS-128...... value

Posted By Rich McNutt

Please forgive me in advance, I dont know if this is the appropriate forum for this question. I have an TAK FS-128 for sale and I have no idea how much to ask for it. I have had 3 lasik surgeries in the last 12 months and my eyes have gone from bad to worse (irregular astigmatism). Am selling all scopes and my G-11 with Losmandy. Anyone care to make any suggestions as to what I shoulk for a 2 year old FS-128 in prefect condition? It has been housed in an observatory and mounted on a G-11 all its life. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

Thanks,

Dumb question of the day - Eclipse/D80/C-11

Posted By Rich McNutt

I beg forgiveness in advance for my ignorance, this is my first post, but can anyone tell me if the full moon (Feb 21 eclipse!) will fit in one frame on my Nikon D80 mounted on a CPC 1100 with T-adapter and f6.3 focal reducer? Love shooting eclipses and will be buying a scope in the next several weeks. Sold my C-11 and have given up on waiting for Celestron to come out with a 14" version of the CPC. I know the image would fit in one frame when I was shooting film, but I realize the sensor on the D80 is smaller. Thanks in advance!
