Hello,
Would like to start in the hobby.... and have been looking for a used
"decent" telescope !
I have been offered a Bresser, but have no idea if the "price is right" or
the quality.
The eyepieces seem to have a bayonet fitting, as opposed to the "normal"
drop in I have seem before, not sure on the model ...

Hi all

from the main Chinese observing site NE of Hami. Our group of 15 (with

Hello all,
Last month I spent 9 nights imaging from the Paradour
on Mount Teide in Tenerife. At 7000 ft altitude,

hours of data.
The images can be seen ...
