Sorry

You must be on the "far side" of the averages I looked at nationally

just leave me some negative karma -- maybe your situation will improve

Kap, was that your house I saw with my 10" Dobsonian Reflector telescope the other night??? Right by the American Flag and those Rover Tracks?????

Looked like a little startup stove smoke billowing out of the stove vent!!

Pellets are running from $200 to $237.50 per ton before tax here in Arkansaw!!!!

Hey, nice to see you guys all back .

Ya, we're still burning corn. To my surprise, it's cheaper here than oil and pellets when considering the sales tax. I bought new corn at the equivalent of about $260 per US ton. We don't have access to NG.

Wishing you all a good season, whatever you burn.

Hey AR, I got one of those 10" Dob's too! Orion version. Also have a 125 ETX Meade.
I saw the Orion on Craigslist for $200 so I went to look at it. Not a scratch anywhere. He brought out the $100 padded carrier for it, an upgraded finder scope, 8 lenses, two nebula filters at $99 each, two different types of collimaters (one is a laser) plus a half dozen colored filters (got plenty of those). I couldn't get the money out of my pocket fast enough!!!! The only thing I had to do was remove the mirror and clean it per instructions posted on the web and then collimate it. It's spot on.

That's exactly what I have "but" I paid way more than that!!! Sounds like you got a real deal. I must have well over $1,000 in mine with a good observing chair. I've been dreading the day when I will need to remove my mirror and clean it but I guess you didn't have any problems!

Great find & purchase!! Congratulations!!
