Sorry, folks for starting this flame fest. I'm still curious about
which eyepiece I should get. I most curious about the 12, 13 and 14
mm 1.25 inch Naglers. Any opinions would be most helpful.

Hi Al,

No, the apology should be coming from me, not you. That other Al has some
mysterious way of bringing out the worst in me. I can't explain it.
Well,
maybe I can. He accused a friend of lying. Now, back to astronomy... I
have the 13mm T6 and am extremely happy with it. As a matter of fact, I
have 2 of them for bino use in a 12" SCT.

Clear Skies,
Dave Jessie


Let's get this straight, I have no ax to grind and I did not call your
friend a liar, although he did call me some names. Frankly folks, I don't
give a rat's behind what you believe! I just related my experience so you
can accept it or deny it...that's up to you. I wish that Al (the other Al)
finds my story to be inaccurate and that he gets some great deals. Let us
know how you make out.

Since I started this thread, I thought I'd let you know how I made
out. I did go to NEAF last weekend and loved everything about it! As
for the Televue sale, I didn't get what I wanted, but I managed to
pick up a 6mm Radian for $150 which seemed like a pretty good deal to
me (about 37% off).

Cheers,

Al

I was also there, and missed the bulk of the sale. I did go through the
"leftovers" and picked up a 2" 4x Powermate for $130. It was the old style
(set screw), but otherwise it looks brand new! Not even an NEAF mark on it!
A great deal, no matter how I looked at it...

6mm Radian?? You must have gotten to the table pretty early. I got one of
those myself, and after making the rounds of the rest of the tables I
checked the TV board and the 6mm's were all sold out. Couldn't have been
more than an hour.

I also picked up the Click Stop Zoom. Well worth the trip.
