You say it's difficult for terrestrial viewing then you make it look so easy :P.

Ah well, if I wanted to see something on earth I can always simply walk toward it :P.

I have an equatorial mounted newtonian, It puts the eyepiece in some really uncomfortable positions. Equatorial mounts are not for Newtonians!

Hello, Would you be the person to ask to make a video on: how to take apart and clean the lens on the inside of a Bausch and Lomb Balscope 10? Or would you know who to put me in touch with to have the lenses cleaned?

Thank you very much, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.

@DjGisME i'm pretty sure that it is the celestron 10 inch model...that one goes for around $1,199-1299 plus shipping and tax

Hi there! I need an advice. Which mount to buy for a Newtonian 200/1000 which I decided to buy? I have to choose between EQ5 and HEQ5. What would you reccomend?

I hope you will answer,
