I can't help but admire the turning on the Moonrakers. Roberto, yours is beautiful! What is that a 3.5" focuser? I really like the look of the Moonraker Rocket 4" f/11. I was wondering if this has the same optics as the Starwave, Lyra Optics, and TS 4" f/11's ?

Jaegers, I've seen that name in the description of some of the Moonraker scopes. I noticed that they seem to sell first! They must be good

That's pretty cool, definitely the oldest scope on the thread by some way I should think.

I bet Richard Day took a deep breath when you commissioned him to build that bad boy! Who makes the lens? is it Televue like with his 4" f/15's?

The 60mm would make a cracking finder for it! Great job on the mount by the way, it looks perfect for the scope You must be strong to set this up and take it down!

I'm grinning insanely right now.

That's the cutest white light setup I think I've seen Paul

I'm drooling at both the fracs and the scenery Olly

Thanks for that Fozzie, very helpful Also as an SLV owner I look forward to that eyepiece review

Hi John, Agena astro in the US used to do an adaptor for the C100ED so you could fit something like a TS monorail, but they have now stopped doing them As you know Moonlite do a flange for most scopes including this one but we're talking about 350 pounds to find. Otherwise it's which annoys me more out of some CA or the C100ED focuser, Hmmm? I think it depends on how much CA. Anyway sorry I digress from the thread

Lovely collection Marki, hard to beat

Fozzie - that looks like a great setup! it's quite a big frac that Altair f/11, looks great on the Skytee with the pier extension. How is the focuser and chromatic aberration on the Altair f/11? I'm not getting on with the focuser on the C100ED, even though it has literally no CA I'm thinking of swapping it for a long achro with a nicer focuser, either that or buy a Moonlite for it.

We're happy to help you decide which

That's it, get the little one interested at an early age

What! I've just looked at your sig and it's a very respectable 4" f/11. I thought we were talking about a little ED70 or something, and even that's a nice little scope. I posted my little 60mm

The dew shield is nearly as big as my C8 ! I'm surprised I forgot about that thread, I commented at the time as well.

Noooo! don't lock it! Starwave! starwave! starwave! Go on, post the pic

Holy mackerel, I'm going to look for that picture!

I very much like your taste in scopes You're joking about having a 6" f/15 right??

Well, dialysis has come a long way in recent years Ooh I really shouldn't joke about that kind of thing My new book has just arrived - Choosing and Using a Refracting Telescope by Neil English

I like Richard Day's style also and wouldn't mind something like this one day: http://skylight-telescopes.com/?page_id=104 That Moonraker f/11 Rocket looks beautiful also: http://www.moonrakertelescopes.co.uk/telescope-range.html I turn 40 at the end of the year, so if I get my wife to chip in and also sell a kidney

Simply exquisite Dave The guy/guys at Moonraker must get a huge amount of satisfaction from their creations, and you must be a very proud owner

That's lovely Jules! I'd like one of those

this is how things add up Derek. When I bought my Skylight from ABS, I decided with the help from Dave (F15 rules) that I simply must have a Takahashi Prism diagonal

Result! great find. Or should I say great find-er
