I am thinking of doing an out of the box review for the Super wedge, when I got my Super wedge just recently I took heaps of shots as I got it out of the box and then for its first light as it were. Thought it might be instructive to those considering getting the wedge and what they should look out for.

Anyway just a thought.:)

as far as I read ice wants more reviews, I'm gonna put in some keyboard time next week and write a small faq with all the formula to work stuff out for scopes, I might write a small review from a begginers point of this GSO 8" scope when I've had a few nights observing out of it

Sounds like good stuff, beginners need a lot of help, wish the internet was around when I started in Astronomy. Good to pass on some knowledge to others.

All reviews are good reviews, and I welcome everyone to submit them, from an experts view to a beginners view..

Aragorn posted a link to an article on CN a few weeks back about what to think about when doing a review, what to look for, etc..

In general, be neutral, include pros and cons, include pictures, be as technical as is relevant, include a general guide of cost, without necessarily naming the shop you bought it from.

Beginners reviews of entry level scopes will be great for beginners.. i'm sure the advanced reviews from experienced observers are too technical for the beginner so it'll be good for them to read something in their language.

I encourage more reviews! Get writing!
