Hi All, On Monday, 3/10, the Waterford Library is hosting a talk on the two March eclipses. I am giving this talk, and it starts at 6p.m. Around the talk, I was hoping that we might get some TAAS

No, please... windows are not optical glass and suede is way too abrasive.? So think how soft that is.... we don't use paper towels to rub optics. It's for blotting biological materials after letting

I talked with my son Jeremy, the pro detailer, and he said he uses suede cloths to ensure no lint. I know he must make sure the car’s paint and/or windows must be absolutely clean of all dust, dirt

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

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.

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
