Oops, silly me, this is a Ritchey-Chretien isn’t it. Probably not suited to portable/visual astronomy. I do seem to remember looking thru an eyepiece years ago at Conn, and we run a 10” RC

Jay: I’ve been riffing about the optics with Leslie, Mark and anyone else who would listen for a few months now. I thought if TAAS ever had an observatory, we’d already have the optics for a nice

Jeremy does service all sorts of cars and pickups, especially this time of year when the roads are harsh on paints. He’s a true gear head that loves what he does and will usually work with anyone. I

I’m curious about the future plans for these amazing optics. I remember Leslie’s email string about finding them a home but I don’t recall the outcome. Leslie, how do you and Alex envision

This is so cool, Bob, and thank you and Jeremy for the kind offer! As George mentioned, optics (especially a set of this quality) are on another level. Does he do minivans? Hope to meet you under a

That’s cool, George, totally understood. Let Jay know though, that Jeremy’s garage can be thought of as a HUGE sink (floor drain) with a supply of running hot and cold water. The power washer

Bob: Firstly, thanks very much to you and your son for offering your assistance. I’ll let Jay have the final say on this, but the cleaning of the optics is a delicate and precise procedure and Jay

Hi guys. I’m new to the group and astronomy in general. Haven’t had a chance to partake in any endeavors yet. Hope to soon. However, my son owns a car detailing shop in Old Saybrook, right on Rt.

Jay: That sounds fine to me. Thanks very much. If Leslie is OK with keeping the mirrors at Conn for a few weeks I can come up to help get them into your vehicle when you’re ready. If there is no

Oops, “later in the month.”

George, I can also pick up the mirror set at Conn College later in the week if that’s easier. Cleaning is one of my specialties, I’ll ensure the optics are pristine and stored properly, like fine

Hello Leslie, The weekend time slots work for me as of now.? The week day time slots would be a day of decision to help out. Thanks Brian

Leslie: Part 2, I emailed Jay and he agreed to store the mirror since he is likely, due to his connection with Stelafane, to be able to find a new owner. In the mean time, I can keep it here in my

Leslie: 2-10 is fine with me. George

I know!!! I'm sorry we will not see you there either Jay, if we do the mirror removals next week. But, CT weather may have something to say about this. So who knows when we may actually get to take

Sounds like a great plan! Sorry I’ll miss the work party next week. Have fun, Jay

Hi All, Thank you to all of you who responded so quickly. Several of you can't help until later in the month and several can't help except on weekends. Weekends are a problem for the new astronomer at

Hi Leslie, Glad that we are moving forward on removing the cell and primary from the 20 inch, so the Planewave can move in to its new home. Unfortunately, Tuesdays are our days in CT during February

I’d very much like to help, and have room for glass storage as well. We’re out of town next week and 2/22, otherwise I’m in. Jay

I don't know how you did it but I am available on all of those days except 2/22. I'd prefer not to do 2/19 as I need to be back for ASGH and don't want to be wiped out from travel. After 11 am works
