Here's an account of a strange object we observed during a CSN session earlier this year... :shock: :shock: :shock: From: "acc" <acchien@s...> Date: Sun Apr 27, 2003 3:09 pm Subject: UFO at last night Observation at Dempsey? Hi all I have never seen anything like that before in all my obse...

Wow thanks guys!! Looking forward to read the review 8) I have a Siebert 19mm and Pentax XL 21mm. Anyone wants to borrow them for a comparison too?

And is collimating so tough? I hear tons of stories from ppl saying its pretty easy to ppl saying they sold their reflector coz they couldn't collimate it properly. Is it a breeze or nightmare?

For those who would like to contract aperture fever, read the following extract from the Nov issue of Sky and Telescope: ... the difference between a 6" and 12" can be the difference between seeing just the Meisser galaxies in the Virgo Cluster and seeing an additional 30 or 40 NGC galaxie...

Hi all After an eight-month delay, most of the parts for our 16.1” ATM project have finally arrived safely in Singapore. Discovery Telescopes whom we purchased the telescope from had been extremely tardy in delivery. With the benefit of hindsight, we would have bought the parts from other sources. N...
