Hola Doug,
Yea, I have it bad.
I want to see structure in M51 and I want NGC 457 to really look like ET
(actually, it does in my 4.7 inch refractor). And those so-called canals on
Mars...
Spirit. Opportunity. Beagle-2. I'm with you guys!
Well, maybe not Beagle-2.
Have you ever seen the video which David Krieg has produced for his
Obsession scopes. I viewed it and it started me down that slippery slope.
Oh man...
On the other end of the spectrum, I looked through my first small refractor
APO recently. Have you ever looked through an APO refractor? Oh man...
18?" 20?" Just too big.
(for now, anyway, - he he)
Almost forgot: "meteorites"
-Walter

"Please help me. I have recently been diagnosed with a disease called
"aperture fever" in the astronomical community and I need a cure. You
can
help. A 16 inch truss-tube Dobsonian telescope would effect a cure but I
need to raise 2k."
Walter, I really felt a little wave of fear starting as I read your email
halfway through the first sentence. Luckily, you're not in physical
danger
so far. Careful around some of us as you have a rampantly contagious
condition. I question your "cure" to these cravings. Since when is
giving
a junkie a two kilos of dough to see otherwise invisible stardust which
are
just figments of others' imaginations? You're just gonna get in deeper.
Think an 18"er, but I bet you could figure out how to pack a 20" into your
vehicle, though you better break out more of the collection and start
saving
up for a trailer as this is where your disease leads once the symptoms are
full-blown. Many people do cure aperture fever with a diameter in the
20's,
though. They break their backs and then discover the wonders of being
able
to set up a 3.5 inchers with playful ease...good luck and clear skies! I
know two others on this list who are controlling as best as they can the
"fever".
Doug
