All I can say is, "SIGH".
I had to go up to the California Central Valley this week, Lemoore to be exact (if any of you are trying to find it on a map, find Frenso and go a bit south). I took my star charts and binoculars but left the Telescope at home. I wish I could have brought it with me. I went out two nights and just drove a few miles out of town and then off on dirt roads that line the fields (this is a big agricultural area). Very dark, Easily found clusters, and even resolved a few stars in some of them, that are just hazy hints from San Diego. The Orion Nebula glowed like a neon light. It was beautiful. So, I decided I had to stop by OPT and buy something on the way home. I got the brand new 2" William Optics Dielectric Star Diagonal and ordered a Televue 35mm Pantropic (they didn't have one in stock). Of course, the fog had come in. Jon - Does that offer to let me borrow that Focal Length Reducer still stand? |
