| Do we have another amateur astronomer here!!! |
|
Yup. My dad has a Celestron Advanced Series 8" SCT w/ GO-TO. We've always been into astronomy, and then he finally got a scope. It's great. The viewing around here isn't always the best, but we have fun. I'm looking at a 10" Meade SCT or a 7" Meade ED Refractor.

I am saving up for a Meade (or Celestron) 8" newtonian, or... dare I wish it a Celestron 11"GPS.'
I am also a member of the orange county astronomers (amateur astronomers club).
If you can, find your local am. astr. club... mine has star parties every other week, and owns land in the high desert about 2 hrs from my house. The people are great, and you get an opportunity to look through Dob's, Newt's, Scmidt/Cassegrain's, Sch/Muskatov's, and even home made 'scopes.
This will really help you in your search for the scope that fits your needs.
I'm looking into going for deep sky objects, with eventually some astrophotography, so less than an 8" is out of the question. (Every month I re-read the stats for the Celeston 11GPS in my Astronomy magazine subscription.)
Anyways, check out your local group and try to get to a star party... then you can check out all the different types of scopes out there, and chose the one that fits your needs best.

I'm looking at that as well. Not too bad on the pricing. Our local astronomy club has a 14" Meade SCT at a site way outside of town. I'm in south-west Michigan, so it's sometimes difficult to get a nite with good transparency. I'm going to the next meeting of the KAS (Kalamazoo Astronomical Socicety) to check out some scope. Anyway, good nite.

 I'd say at this point just take it and run, quickly.

Evening Everybody...
I am good, just came back from work, it was dead, revenue for today was half of the normal day! Couldn't believe it! Good news, that tomorrow i am gonna see my girl again. 
| I got 49,964 mpts for this game |
|
Great news, mate! Lets just hope that it wont be the last one!
Though my ercord was ~60,120 per one game(i still cant figure it out, how the heck it could post over 60k) but i am sure, even positive, that that was right numbers...
Can anybody tell me when my BIG booms would happen?!

Paguma's Calculator. Probably easier than bugging Peace all the time. Also easier than running the numbers yourself, if you're lazy.
