I apologies for my post going public and subjecting you to praise and harassment. I thought I grabbed your personal email address. I also apologize to everyone for cluttering the list with my personal request for tutorage from Brent; I will have to be more careful.

Yes, I have been very influence by Brent and I would say that it has all been good. I really enjoy the Thursday night class

Thanks for watching out for me. This list is cool. We can all learn neat stuff together.

great Milky Way views. With the f7, you can also get
stunning, high power planetary views with longer focal
length eyepieces (more eye relief) and easier viewing.
You don't have to try and look through as small a
hole.

I still would take the f7 over the f5, although f5 is
beter than f4.5.
