I've never heard of them send me a link and I will look at them, but you
should read first: Telescope Buyers FAQ http://home.inreach.com/starlord -- The Lone Sidewalk Astronomer of Rosamond Telescope Buyers FAQ http://home.inreach.com/starlord Sidewalk Astronomy www.sidewalkastronomy.info The Church of Eternity http://home.inreach.com/starlord/church/Eternity.html "Chris" wrote in message ups.com...

Event Horizon Telescopes
I once compared a Event Horizon 152 mm with a Skywatcher (Orion in USA) 150
mm and i ended up buying the Skywatcher for my son, because the difference between the 2 was outstanding in favour of the skywatcher everything was bad in the Event Horizon it was almost impossible to get a clear focus contrast very unpleasant, the 10 mm very poor i couldn't get good focus, the mount was shaking like an earthquake, the "finder" only 20 mm both scopes had focal lenght 750 mm (f/5) , and was testetd with the same super10 mm and 25 mm eyepiece and 3 x barlow. barlow was almost useless in Event Horizon because of the bad contrast so my advice stay away from this plastic scope, it's crap and not decent if you want to keep Astronomy as a hobby "Chris" skrev i en meddelelse ups.com...

I had a 4.5 inch reflector before and became bored with it because everything other than stars just looked like white fuzzy blobs with no color. I was told by an experienced astronomer that I just needed a bigger scope. Chris Maness |

Not totaly Right was that Astronomer, I have 3 Dobs, a 10inch f5, a 8inch f8
and a 4.25inch F9 Stargazer Steve Dob and with it I've looked at and enjoyed M42, many of the Globle clusters, Jupiter and it's cloud bands and Mars at closest Eproch. The time is, it does NOT have the typal Department store mirror, it has a very good parabloic mirror as any scope should have that's a reflector, but the cheap ones don't. I've got a tasco mirror I took out of one someone left behind in a trailer they moved out of, I've done a few little test on it and they don't give the same results that even my 4.25inch mirror gives. -- The Lone Sidewalk Astronomer of Rosamond Telescope Buyers FAQ http://home.inreach.com/starlord Sidewalk Astronomy www.sidewalkastronomy.info The Church of Eternity http://home.inreach.com/starlord/church/Eternity.html "Chris" wrote in message oups.com...

Event Horizon Telescopes
Reality is the event horizon of a black hole is its almost perfect
curved surface. I see its surface as being 10-^22 of a centimeter thick. Nothing bigger can pass through. It is this surface tension that reduces matter to its building blocks(sub-particles) before passing through to its core. My definition of a black holes event horizon is the line where the BH makes contact with the space of the universe. Reality is this horizon is not imaginary like Earth's. Bert. |

I don't think that was what he asked about ;-)
