      Nah, I'm just keeping all my eyepieces...they're technically more expensive than the scope. So, when I'm back I'll just get another scope :)

      I think the previous ones were not collimated properly. I checked other ones and I felt OK.

      Sounds like 'fair wear and tear' to me. Have you talked to the C.A.B. about this?

      Has your deposit been held under the Deposit Protection Service? If it has then they should arbitrate this matter.

      emadmoussa

      She said she would give most of it back. That after I threatened to take her to court.. I think her problem she mixed ''nice'' with ''weak'' ...

      I just randomly mentioned to the wife the other day that while the Rigel was nice, but didn't feel like the right one and I missed the Telrad. She got the message :)

      I'll add to the mystery :D

      while i < n

      {

      pick a number from the sequence

      12,14,16

      I = I + 1

      }

      what is n when all is said and done ?

  20. I thinking ES 5.5mm 100-deg eyepiece...

      yes, that's the package with the scope. I already have eyepieces, but not a high power one.

  21. Ouch!!

      That's impressive Mike. I had to look up the car to check, do you fold the seat for that ? can you still carry a passenger, suitcases tents and extra stuff ? I was more thinking along the lines ( far in future ) when I do get a big Dob, which I would use a lot less it would be a truss design, 16 inch or so, and the 10 inch or a new 12 inch at some point as the most often used weapon at home, & some shorter local trips. Current car is a 90s Ford KA, tiny thing :) Couple of years I...

      .. can get something slightly bigger.

    4. emadmoussa

      emadmoussa

      With my 12" the scope once collapsed was very manageable, it's the base that's big actually. With the 14", it's probably a similar story with the tube, but the difference you can take the yet bigger base apart and put it back together in no time. So, haven't made up my mind completely...still subject to my observing position and finances.

  23. Galaxy Note 3 rocks...Iphone users look away!! :D

      You could mount a Television camera in the Baader Steeltrack and it wouldn't slip :)

      The focuser that came with my GSO 10" was fantastic...but still, the Moonlite is better. It's just very solid. And like Dan says, collimation is easier with it as well. I use heavy eyepieces and it rolls as if nothing is not the focuser...if I get my 12" back, or go 14" I'm certainly going Moonlite again.

      lOL @ Delos in Steeltrack :D

      Of course the day I get a moonlight I'll be saying same no doubt :D
