Exclamation Calling for reviews!

Hey guys.

I'm looking for more content for the reviews section of the website.

With a mortgage and 3 young kids, I don't buy a lot of astro gear myself, so I can't do a lot of reviews myself. I'm hopeful that some of the IceInSpace Forum members will help me to do this by doing reviews of some equipment/gear they have purchased recently.

Mark Hodson, Stuart (Beren) and Paul H (rumples riot) have done some great reviews so far of a couple of scopes, eyepieces and a de-rotator, but i'm after more.

The reviews can be about any piece of astro-gear or related-to-astro gear, including:
  • Telescopes
  • Mounts
  • Accessories (filters, other add-ons, anything, batteries, whatever)
  • Eyepieces
  • Books or software
A review doesn't need to be a scary thing to do, just be pragmatic and follow a structure. David Knisely has written a nice How to Write a Review article for CN. It has some good ideas and I suggest you at least give it a read if you're contemplating writing a review.

Most importantly, be objective and unbiased.

Make sure you include pictures too. You can write it up as a word document or whatever it most convenient.

Just email me your review and i'll get it up on the site as soon as I get a chance (ie: it'll go on the to-do list )

Thanks!
