Aperature is more important than magnification (no 2 1/2" lenses, please). Something like the Edmond Scientific telescope with the 4 1/4" mirror and red plastic tube... Price, under $200 (do I hear someone saying I want everything? :-)) I hope this is going out to the USA only--my apologies if not, but Pnews seems to do wierd things with newsgroups... I really wanted to restrict it to the Pacific Northwest, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do that (and I got no answer when I limited it to Seattle). -- Mike Maxwell When you're up to your neck in alligators, it's hard to remember that your initial objective was to drain the swamp.
