Wow! 💫 I'm still a newbie but I jumped in & started my astro journey with binos gifted to me of 10x50, then bought 20x80 binos, then bought a sturdy camera tripod for them, then sold the 20x80 binos & reinvested to buy a telescope, a Mak 102 astro fi, couldn't get it aligned, kept the scope & sold the tripod, invested the money towards a SW200p & eq5 mount, slipped a disc & couldn't carry it around & no room in the house to store, sold both then invested in a 130 newt tabletop dob! So now I have it, plus the 102 Mak ota, a heavy duty camera tripod, binos 10x50. I've just bought a used canon 450d dslr. I also invested in a high quality 27mm eyepiece, my most used, it is levels above all the standard supplied eyepieces! I now have £100 left from my sales, I want to invest in a short tube refractor with any kind of decent mount, a challenge for sure! 🤞😄 But watching this I now know it's not crazy at all to want more than 2 telescopes 😁 Btw so sorry for the loss of your cats 😥 we have 6 indoor cats & 4 outdoor ferals that we look after with housing & food.

I gave them away to someone who hopefully made better use of them and kept my 8" Portaball and 15" Litebox. I loved all the scopes, I just wasn't organized enough. You have a wonderful collection, thanks for sharing!

Enjoyed another one of your videos. I am more of a newbie and self taught but use your information all the time. My budgets much lower than many but I picked up a Celeston C8 90's last fall. My first true telescope. It was on Craigslist locally ( I live in your old stopping grounds Champaign il) When I investigate more about the scope prior to purchase ,it was being sold by and instructor of astronomy at Parkland college. After speaking to her husband I could determine they took good care of it. It has early "computer" drive and go to. The drive tracks well enough. I haven't explored the go -to much yet. Learning to find things in the sky on my own.

I have an Orion Skyview Pro 8 inch Reflector on a Skyview Pro equatorial mount and tripod with a True Trac dual axis motor drive and I absolutely love it. It's a great all around rig with an 8 inch parabolic primary mirror, 2 inch Crayford focuser, 1000 mm focal length and an f-ratio of 4.9, it's a light bucket. I wouldn't use anything other than an eq mount. I also have a dual finder scope mount for my 9x40 scope and my red dot finder. I also have a really nice polar alignment scope. I think for the money this is a lot of bang for your buck. Really easy to collimate, I don't use a laser collimator, collimation cap and a bright star! It's just too bad that Orion discontinued this model but I was fortunate enough to purchase a second brand new motor drive just in case this one on my mount fails, but so far so good it still works great, tracks absolutely perfect. I use a cmos color camera for the solar system and a Canon EOS M10 mirrorless camera for deep sky.

He came to me after my aunt passed and he spent the rest of his life with me. I was surprised to see the ETX scopes there… I once had an ETX 125 here, but never got around to using it. I eventually sold it (at a loss) and don’t miss it. You are absolutely right about Meade’s mount for these… pure plastic garbage.

I also have a grey FC-100 incoming (year 1985, but it's got Multi Coated optics (purple coatings), so at some point mine was refigured or lens replacement by Tak (they offered a MC service for FC scopes around 1990 apparently, and also around 1995 Tak offered lens replacement for the cloudy lens issue that many FC pre-1986 non multi-coated lenses have). I'd love so see some pix of your FC-100's lens and cell!

Ed, that is impressive. I am following you since a bit, and one thing you are not mentioning/ had a review on was EQ-platforms. Since u r a big fan of Dobsons I was wondering if you r using them / what's your opinion on it / have a review for it? Cheers

Ed, that was a very interesting insight into your telescope collection. I imagine the majority of your RU-vid viewers probably have less than 5 telescopes. I myself just have two but, there again I'm a relative newby in astronomy. I must ask have you ever thought of rationalising your collection, for example, you do seem to have a lot of 8" diameter telescopes, at a push you could probably manage with just two, one for visual and the other for astrophotography? I'd welcome your thoughts.

I came here for your collection as I build mine. But... We had a slate gray "Russian Blue" type kitty as well. Very smart, very observant. Verrrry laid back. Also named Smokey. He lived eighteen very privileged years.

Russian Blues are such calm friendly cats.

Our cats don't like to be together at all! It sounds like you had two of the good ones :)

Are 2” eyepieces really better than 1.25” ones?
