Rich, it's darn hard to beat a long Newtonian with small secondary. Excellent image, thanks! BTW, I agree with you, my own personal favorite grab-n-go scope is also a 6" f/8 Newt. I call it the "Giant Killer"... ;) C. --- Richard Tenney <retenney@yahoo.com> wrote:
Got the following from a fellow on the Criterion Dynascope list today. Amazing webcam image obtained from this humble classic 6-inch newtonian (I'm still the original owner of a vintage 1972 RV-6, still my preferred grab-n-go scope)...
