Re: ATM New 24" dob scope

["at making" <atmaking@hotmail.com>]

Hello,

Thanks for all those messages !
Yesterday the sever was down, now it's good, I hope it will not have problem 
again.

For the eyepiece, we use only naglers with paracorr. Also, a great combo is 
the new Denkmeire binoviewer. We use it with a pair of Panoptic 24 mm and 
the OCS 1,3x, images are great. It also give good images in the 32" fd 3,75.

Have a clear sky !
