Simply eyegasmic! I suppose being on Mt. Wilson makes a huge difference (as well as riding on an AP1200) as I've never been able to get stars so tight with my...
To say that the Ethos lives up to all the hype is like saying that Astro-Physics makes nice telescopes! It is my eyepiece of choice for 90% of my visual...
Hi Chris, Having the scope set up at Mount Wilson is a definite plus because of the superb seeing conditions of that locale. Sub arc-second and better seeing...
Hi Gilles, Same here in the Southwest US; we had lots of cloudy weather and winter storms for about 6-8 weeks in January and February. BTW, there is another...

... Rolando, weather in AZ has been pretty good, so if you need an imaging fix, check out my images from your beautiful 180EDF. (Latest at the bottom.) ...
Roland, Can you tell me if any oil spaced versions were sold as production STAR 12's? A doublet oil spaced would be excellent for contrast, I have been offered...

They have extremely little compared to Astromart, and the moderation on CN assumes one is a child. Highly NOT recommended. Unless you like kiddie pools. :) ...
