Telescope Buyers FAQ
http://home.inreach.com/starlord You should read this first. -- There are those who believe that life here, began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans, who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltechs, or the Mayans. Some believe that they may yet be brothers of man, who even now fight to survive, somewhere beyond the heavens.

Hi:
I seem to be recommending this scope every single day, I know, but IMHO, it's _that_ good. Get the Orion StarBlast at http://www.telescope.com On Nov 23, 7:25 pm, wrote: I need to buy a telescope for my 11 year old grandson and I can use all the advice I can get.

If it's made in the USA and has anything to do with
astronomy, it must be excellent. Minge On 24 Nov 2006 05:37:50 -0800, "RMOLLISE" wrote: Hi: I seem to be recommending this scope every single day, I know, but IMHO, it's _that_ good.

Hi Gale,
Drop by the George Observatory located in Brazos Bend State Park one Saturday evening, and you can lay hands on a number of different scopes and talk with knowledgeable users. (p.s. ask how to become an observatory volunteer and then you and your grandson can use any of the scopes they own including the big scopes in the domes!). Texas Nautical Repair on Richmond is a nice store to stop by. Also, there are several astronomy clubs around Houston that can offer good advice, used equipment for sale, and free loaner scopes. This site will link you to them: http://www.fbac.org/web%20links.htm Peace, Jon II wrote in message oups.com...
