I'm done..

Agreed. BTW, do you still have your C9.25?

Not for a couple of years. I divested.

I've got a lowly 6" F5 reflector on an altazimuth tripod mount, a small
66mm
ED refractor, a couple of Ultima eyepieces that I've had since the
beginning
of my journey into the night, and my memories of glory with a 12" aperture
Dob. I'm content for the time being.

I thought you had a Dob, but couldn't find reference to it on your site.
Too much light pollution? That's why I got rid of mine. I tried various
nebular filters but they didn't help much. Of course, that's when they
first came out. I always wanted to see the Horsehead visually, but never
did. And I had the Coulter 17" Dob at the time. It actually had a pretty
good mirror. Now I don't have much either- a pair of 20x60 binocs and an
older ETX-90, but I miss the star hopping days with SA2000, which I
laminated myself before the deluxe version came out, and the Dob. Saw lots
of DSOs for sure. lou

Later,
Steve
