Re: Comet discoverer Hyakutake dies at 51
I remember a report about him, at the time (CNN): he'd lift his famous binocular and put it on a stabilizer . It weighs a ton! Not only that, but LX200 with a fork are also very heavy.
I wonder if the effort wasn't too much for him.
Imagine: you buy one of them at 45, then lift the tube once, twice, and one day ouch!!!! A nerve gets stuck (it happened to a friend).
Now, the sope sits inside its case........
It's important to think about this too.
