Hi, my name is Bob, and I'm an Astro-haulic... Hey folks how do you think these cheap 15x70's compare to a set of Pentax 15x60's (sportsman's warehouse, ~$250) I was thinking of buying? At $70, even if they are plastic, they ought to be worth it. Chuck, you have a couple don't you?

Don't go bump in the night and a request

Hi all, Chuck Hards has turned me on to some nifty devices for keeping your tripod legs from getting bumped in the dark. They are small, inexpensive LED flashers that hold AA batteries that you can rubberband to your telescope or eyepiece case at those dark locations where novices or the old and myopic might tend to wander into stuff... American Science & Surplus Stock #34001 Batt Holder w/LED $1.75 ea. (847)647-0011 M-F 8-5:30 Central www.sciplus.com Chuck has also requested that I ask around to see if any of you might have some extra Baader material you would be willing to part with; he's interested in making some filters for the 15x70 (Bear/Obie/Galileo) binos he's so fond of. RSVP, Rich __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? HotJobs - Search new jobs daily now http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/

This will be going out in the next issue of News, but it's such a nice picture I thought those on this list might want to see it right away. Looks so close that when I first saw it I wanted to ask "Are we there yet?" :-) Patrick
