Thank you, as I look out at our wintery skies, the last option (except for$) sounds wonderful! -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Rob Ratkowski Photography Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2010 10:01 AM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Opinions on Astro-Tech Refractor Aloha Ann One of our group just got a CGEM by Celestron, weighty and solid but manageable. We used the mount w/ a variety of scopes (C11, C9.25, C8, 80mm FD, 127Apo) and all worked well and pointing was very very acceptable. With the components broken down I think you would enjoy the mount. To get a closer inspection, contact Chuck Hards, he has one and can give you his pinion of the mount. Or come to Maui and use ours ;^) Aloha Rob _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
