Hi Raoul.

After almost 20 years without a telescope I finally "bit the bullet" and got a new C11. Now, across the valley from my house they are building 52 new homes. I don't think there is anything I could do to curb the use of mercury vapor lights but they're going up.

I would really like the opportunity to view objects through the eyepiece before having to image them with a camera.

Time constraints have prohibited me from using the scope purchased this spring. Now it's the weather that keeps me from viewing. I hope to write a complete review soon and maybe this will attract more armatures to the HZ since telescope reviews are somewhat hard to find.

I'm trying to find the time to build a counter weight carrier I designed to carry the 3- 11 lbs counterweights. Anything to shorten set up time. In a way, I am very envious of your ETX 90.

Clear Sky’s,

Rob
