I was really hoping the avatar would be enough, but the mob has spoken so here's one ugly mug:

Well I've come to the conclusion that we are a magnificent looking bunch on this fine forum so the next logical step is a calendar. Not like Manpower or AFL/NRL players - no, something more warm & fuzzie with our telescopes! It'll sell like hot cakes & women will find us very appealing.....ok,ok- if not a calendar,what about a stubbie holder? :-)

Look out!!!! Tony's LX200 is for sale again! He has spotted his dream scope! John Drummond's reflector.

john_drummond (John Drummond) · #50 30-03-2005, 10:10 PM

Hi Tony,

it's a 16" (41cm) f4.5 Meade Starfinder Newt with an 8" f4 Vixen Newt as a guidescope. The mount is a standard Meade Satrfinder mount with a parts upgrade from Australias very own Anssen Technology - wheel, worm, motors, gears, and electronics.

To see more about the scope (if interested) go to:

Wow...thats a big fella! You don't appreciate the size of a large telescope until you see someone standing next to it for comparison.

ving (David) · #53 31-03-2005, 10:12 AM

your finder/guide is as big as my scope!

john_drummond (John Drummond) · #54 31-03-2005, 03:17 PM

I understand completely. My 31mm Naglar 2" barrel EYEPIECE has a larger diameter than the objective of my first telescope!

Hey, your right.

You can see it's proper size with someone standing next to it!

Ron has modelled with it for us. Thanks Ron.

john_drummond (John Drummond) · #56 01-04-2005, 12:39 PM

Hence the reason I recently crawled inside my scope to do prime focus astrophotography like David Malin at the AAO.

Cheers for the image.

ballaratdragons (Ken) · #58 01-04-2005, 03:36 PM

It's only heavy if you can reach it!
