Re: an astronomy comic
Ha ha. But of course they are all (apparently) still there. When the next phase transition of the universe arrives here it will be spreading at the speed of light so we won't see anything disappear

I prefer to say to my wife, "Hey, it could be worse, I could be asking for an Attilla-sized scope. THAT boy be crazy!". ;) P.

Re: etx 80
I try not to recommend $2K to someone who has said their price point is $500. But I have said "There is nothing worth buying for that little. Use what you already have." Though usually I'm asked

Re: etx 80
Hi Mike... I do understand your view, and respect it, and if it was a person who had nothing at the moment, sure, I'd probably think it was perfect advice. It's certainly a good starter setup. But my

Re: etx 80

Re: etx 80
Hello Darcy, I, too, have an ETX80. I've had mediocre success with it. It is the backpack model, so only runs on AA batteries. I would greatly appreciate a 120V connection for it because I have kids

Re: etx 80
Yes it just goes in the 1 1/4 eyepiece holder, I don't think it can be done via wifi or bluetooth the data stream is quite large! I ordered mine right from Sam in China but OPT has them in stock too,

Has anybody ordered from that site? Does it come quickly? Not that there's a rush but just curious so I know if it's worth ordering now. -- Art+ inventorArtist.com <http://inventorartist.com/> |
