Re: If you have any money left after Christmas...
You're welcome, I hope you enjoy them. If you don't have a massively huge parallelogram, be sure to take a beefy tripod with a heavy-duty pan/tilt head, that is up to the weight of these things. They mount with a standard 1/4-20 stud on the built-in tripod adapter/balance arm. I'm assuming you bought the 100mm unit- or did you buy the 80mm? Talk to me about solar filters when you are ready. I need to make a pair for mine and it would be just about as easy to make 2 sets at the same time. I already have parts for 80mm filters.

UPS says they should be here Friday so, weather permitting, it looks like I'll be able to use them to watch Stardust return home Sunday morning.
Thanks for the tip, Chuck.

Yep, ordered the 100s. Already have 80s. I'll be interested to see how the two compare. Not really interested in solar filters for them (already have those for the 80s). But thanks for the offer. Patrick
