660 MAGNIFICATIONS? And it's a CELESTRON so it must be TRUE! I'm
throwing my 6" refractor away and getting one of those! I can't use
more than 150 magnifications on the planets most of the time. Hang on
a MO! MY 6" refractor is a CELESTRON too! So why can't I get 1320
magnifications then? Let's see.... all I need is a 0.9mm eyepiece and
I'm well away! I'll see if Herschel Optics of Slough stocks them. ;-)
A poor sense of humour and false advertising are the roots of all evil.
Will somebody please tell me why one can't buy a cheap, simple, altaz
mounted 3" refractor? The world is awash with equatorially mounted
garbage with all the crappy, useless, shiny-dangly bits. But you can't
buy a simple, high quality, 75mm astro refractor on a simple wooden
tripod and fork for under a 100 quid? Wot's that all about then?
