I'm putting pen to paper

I'm reading all of of this and thinking....

My W/O SCT focuser is the dogs b!"£$%cks, can be motorised by JMI and only costs 1/3 of the Moonlites

LOL! Guess that makes you a happy man then!
The Moonlits look really cool though, althougn the WO stuff is very nice too.
Have you considered adding go-faster stripes to yours yet Dave?

ya know what, I'm not going to bother anymore.

We are only about 20 persons, barely 10 of which post even weekly here ...

Is that with or without the crazy Greeks? :mrgreen: :lol:

Hopefully, without!

IMHO, from a person with no bias, if this was about, say, an american magazine, there wouldnt be so much uproar about it being posted on these boards and an email being written instead!

But if the same thread appeared about the same hypothetical american magazine each month I think someone would also post and suggest they tell the mag.

Ive been an avi viewer of cludy nights etc and ive never seen such an uproar over such a small and petty thing!

AS regards the focusers, is it hard to change the focuser on the lx90? i find that the focuser almost 'slips' when it gets to the place where it would usually focus at if ya get me. id love a microfocusser too or even a motorised one!

Wow what a can or worms.

All i can say is that i find it puzzling how on the one hand it is ok for someone to start a thread on a regular basis to say well done to X,Y or Z for having their pics published in a monthly magazine yet on the other hand it seems not to be ok to start a thread on a regular basis to say well done to X,Y or Z for publishing another great issue of a monthly magazine.

It seems there is one set of rules for some people and an entirely different set of rules for others.

Doesnt seem fair to me.

Just my 2 cents.

P.S.~~I havent been offended by anyone here and i havent meant to offend anyone IF i have. So no ill feelings from me towards anyone..............

Just to be clear. There is no rule saying you can't start threads like this! People just suggested that you contact the people responsible since they'd like to hear. The threads congratulating out regulars are a little different in that they are regulars here, of course it makes sense to compliment them right here where they post their images!

Anyway, I really wish threads like this wouldn't explode so.
