Maybe even way earlier than that? I think my last ANE I hosted was the 8th one.

You don't say! I couldn't really recognize you really, with that extra muscles you have gained from carrying all that Losmandy mounts?

Hey Lily!
I just started getting some 2nd hand scopes...Suddenly, orange is my favorite color now.

Hi Charlie

I wonder what scope is orange in color.... heheheh

Sent my 80mm refractor to AstroBargains for cleaning. Got fungus.
C8 still ok. Mine are 2nd hands too!

Let's meet soon.

Orange tube = Celestron SCT ota? Either the 6 or 8 comes in orange

Nah, got a thing for old mirrors. Got an old orange C90 off eBay previously and another old Celestron OT 8" SCT coming from Japan!

Now just looking for a nice OT 5" to complete the Orange Trio!

That C8 set is a very good price. I would love to get it minus the GP mount. Pity I don't read Japanese plus the shipping to Singapore would have been quite high.
