Here are a few things already on their way you will see in 2004

Full Computerized GoTo Dobsonians, not just PushTo.
80mm 90mm 100mm 114mm and 120mm ED scopes out of China
GS Dobs sold only by one company, and not by who you think.
1/40th wave Newtonian mirror scopes.
Quality long focus refractors
Easy to use Digital camera adapters.
Zero Expansion mirrors at the cost of Pyrex.
GoTo Freeware that interfaces standard encoders
Stressed reflector optics.
Dedicated Solar Prominence Telescope under $600.
100 degree eyepieces
Dielectric thin film Jupiter and Saturn filters.
Rent to Buy Scopes

Its going to be a great year

RMS? PTV? Wavefront? Mirror surface?

Clear skies, Alan

And how much aperture for such a baby?!

I want 270 degree eyepieces, so I can watch myself while I'm observing.

It IS going to be a great year.

Full Computerized GoTo Dobsonians, not just PushTo.

Then John Dobson will commit suicide because he can't bare to watch how
morons have ruined his simple mount.

80mm 90mm 100mm 114mm and 120mm ED scopes out of China


We need to boycott all products from China. They are stealing jobs from hard
working Americans. All manufacturing should take place in America.

1/40th wave Newtonian mirror scopes.


The seeing is so crappy where I live you can't see the difference between
1/6th and 1/10th wave. That wave crap is a bunch of BS.

Dedicated Solar Prominence Telescope under $600.


Now that would be good.

Yes....but I'm not sure what the big deal is here. This will just make the
stuff more accessible and more people interested. Unlike golf where it
costs me more, the more people who get into it, the more people into
Astronomy the better. I certainly wish everyone on my street was into it,
then there would be no lights from the outside of houses.

Totally agree here, we are selling out to a world economy. China is a
dangerous place to be dealing with. They are starting to jump
(technologically) ahead of us in some areas, with a cheap labor pool to
boot. We give way too much money to China for a lot of *junk*.

Totally agree. Don't know what wave my scopes are. You know what, I don't
care. I'd like to make the inside of my scopes darker, but other than that
I don't care. They can see better than I can :-)

Agreed too.

Mike.
