darn ..... Now I got to find the Rings

... LOL ..... 1 Apr also fall on a Saturday mah

.

Too bad I already owns a 130mm Maksutov

.... Got a 6" Reflector and a 6" Refractor as well ...... So I am thinking of a 80-100mm refractor which can be strap to my camera bag for easy carrying around...... Carrying two bazookas without a car is no joke ... LOL

Eh the 100mm refractor is quite big actually, definitely bulkier than the 130Mak.

Ya, I know .... the reason why I don't like to bring the 130Mak around is because of it's long focal length, I want something for wide field

.... the two bazookas I am talking about is the Reflector and the Refractor

LOL..... in terms of size and weight, the 130Mak is nice.

There is an occassional clear sky last night .... when I bring the Refractor downstairs, I am panting like mad (My flat do not have lift) .. got to walk 4 floors up and down with it .... LOL ....

Chee Chien,

How heavy is the Celestron bino? I got a 12x50 noname bino that's so heavy and lousy, so i'm thinking of buying that to supplement my existing telescope combo, and it'll be easier to bring to outfield when i want to.

Hehe ovc17m, i guess you got competition. I shan't lose to you, i'll queue right at the doorstep of the sale place overnight :-k-yeah:

And your this: 3) Excellent condition Right Angle Correct Image 9x50 Diagonal with dovetail mount and bracket. $110

Shouldn't it be finderscope not diagonal?

And does it fit on my SkyWatcher MCT? I'm getting tired of trying to figure the way to turn when looking through my non-correct-image finder.

hi zong,
what he means is it has a diagonal as it is a right angle finder...

Eh sorry, me bad :oops: I meant: RACI finderscope...

And yes, it will fit all Skywatcher/Antares/Orion Maks.

Zong, the Celestron bino is fairly light and doesn't tire out the hands like larger binos do.

cheers
