Now I get it. Last night, had 30 minutes of clear skies to view the Moon. The only scope that would handle the assignment was my new Traveler. My two other...
Hello Group, I'm traveling (via air) to Phoenix in November and I am contemplating taking my new Traveler as a carry-on. I've done this before with a Pronto...
Hello, Has anyone tried using a Baader amici prism diagonal with a Baader Mk V Binoviewer? I was hoping to use this combination to reap the benefits of both...
Scott, I've taken my Traveler down by air to the last two Winter Star Parties in the Florida Keys without the slightest problem, carrying it and a Televue...
Justin, The Baader Amichi prism works very well for day-time viewing - and I use it for that purpose. When I tried the combination on the Moon and planets...
I have been thinking about this new Precision Amici Star Diagonal as well. For clarity, Amici denotes a correct left to right view. Baader claims very high...
... yes ... The Baader diagonal that comes with the BV from AP works wonderfully with the typical left-right reversal - and does no produce any reflections. I...
New guy dumb question. If I'm not immediately drawn to astrophotography, is there any "viewing" advantage to purchasing the 4" focuser and field flattener...
Hey Bob! Better late than never, right? It was with some trepidation that I just swapped (throwing in some cash, of course) my Traveler for an AP130 EDFS,...
Dans un e-mail daté du 02/10/2004 15:29:34 Paris, Madrid (heure d'été), ... You will use the field flatteners only when imaging. The 4" will provide a '"...
I should add that the compactness and relatively light weight of that AP130 simply floored me. A couple of years ago, I had a TMB 100/800 that had superb...
Hi all, I just updated my website, with astronomical and terrestial pictures, also with a picture of my current AP scope and mount. If you'd like to take a...
A very nice site. Both your astro and terrestial photos are very well done. However your spelling is not very good! :-) I think you need a canon 20d to go...
... No, but you would be at a disadvantage without the awesome 2.7" focuser with FeatherTouch if you elected to get the 4" focuser right now. Visually, the...
That should have said... swap out the 2.7" focuser for the 4 inch focuser and field flattener. Rich...

Yes. This happened to me at San Jose (CA) airport last year. My little ole ST-90 was likewise considered a blunt instrument. Gee, seems if I wanted to bash...
Hello Scott, My job requires quite a bit of airline travel (mostly Delta) and I have brought my Televue 76 along on several occasions with no problems. One ...
I don't have a Traveler but I did hand carry my Tak 90 up to Yellowstone this summer; no problems. I just explained in a pre-emptive manner that the bag...
Hi Geoff, I don't know about getting an AP130 on an airplane, but I would be interested in hearing what mount/tripod setup you are using for the AP130 -...
Just to add another data point..... Sue took her Traveler to WSP in 2002 and 2003, and we had no problems taking it on board with us. Last year we shipped a...
Hi Alec, After trying my Traveler (the AP130's predecessor), on my Gibraltar, GM8 and Vixen Custom D Altazimuth mounts, I'd finally found the perfect mount for...
Geoff, I agree with you about the Carton altaz mount. I finally got one about 2-3 months ago - after looking for one for about 2 years, and it is very nice....
Hi again Richard! I will be very interested in any follow up reports that you make on this Carton TA project of yours. I should have mentioned that I mated my...
I've been looking at old brochures and never seen an AP ad with a finder! I'm looking into buying an Antares 50mm finder, anyone have ideas on how to mount it...
Really nice set-up Geoff! Looks like a fine tripod. I like my Burlebach UNI-15 tripod a lot and use it for the TeeGull/Traveler when traveling. I use the AP...
