Re: How do Dobs/Newtonians fare in singapore light polluted skies

thank you Richard.. I guess my next step is to post a WTB ad in classified section. One more question the skywatcher sells newts under different names.. Would it be correct to say that the quattro is meant for AP and not that much benefit for visual.

Re: WTS: Lunt LS60THa solar scope

Mr Chia..this is the one with tuning ha assembly. I guess this is between older tilt assembly and the newer modular tube versions. The scope ota is good and clean. The diagonal looks fine too. I use it only for visuals.
