Well I guess i'd better introduce myself. My name is Joe and I've been into astronomy for awhile now. I own an 8" Meade LXD55 Schmidt, an 80mm Vixen Refractor, a rarley used Tasco 60mm, my newest edition to the "Family", a homeade 70mm "Mixing Bowl" mount refractor, and Hopefully soon, A C102 Short-tube refractor.
I have my own website: Astronomy Made Easy
www.freewebs.com/issflareman and belong to NJ Night Sky, Astronomy.com, and About Astronomy forums as well, Also known as Issflareman.
Well I hope to be able to help here and there and wish all Happy Holidays.
