Does anyone have a red headlamp for sale, or know where I can get one?
[/quote]Fleet Farm usually has red LED caplights. They may be a little bright for astronomy purposes.
I think I got mine from Target. Its an energizer, 2 white, 1 red LEDs. It is perhaps a bit too bright, but not terrible.
I got mine (Cats Eyes) on line. I actually got two pair, red light only, fifteen bucks apiece. I use them both for observing, the one on the cap for messing with the lenses, drawing objects or finding something, and the other one is a backup that I put in my hand for reading or looking at star charts. They are pretty handy, use the 2016 round flat batteries and are "bright" only when I put brand new batteries in them and they usually last at least a couple months. And that's a lot of use. Those of you that know me can vouch for that.
Jonathan Tomshine was put on a wait-list for an Astro-Physics Mach1GTO mount a year or two ago. It's now available for him to purchase, but he doesn't need it. Does anyone want his spot in line? It's pricey, but well-reviewed. Here's a link: http://www.astro-physics.com/index.htm?products/mounts/mach1gto/mach1gto
I just saw this on Criagslist: http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/for/1106164061.html
It's a 102mm refractor. Supposedly very nice optics, but the tripod could use wooden legs to dampen vibration. Anyway, seems like a great deal, but I just got my C80ED.Sky Watcher Telescopes on sale/instant rebate now. Looks like some good deals… if you have the money. 🙂
Here is the Astronomics Sky Watcher instant rebate page…
I just recently upgraded to a Milburn Wedge and no longer have the need for my old Meade Super Wedge. If anyone would like to have it just let me know and I will happily hand it over to you.
FYI – After using it and becoming familiar with doing polar alignment you will want to upgrade to a better wedge. But to understand doing polar alignment this is a safe no cost way to start. I believe it will work with LX90's also, I used it on my LX200.
John, our club has a 12" LX200 (affectionately referred to as Elvis). You could hold onto it for now in case members want to try it with that scope.

More power in green and violet!
We've managed to push the envelope and yet again increase the available power in our Hercules and Electra series portable lasers. Now you can have more power than ever before! You can even combine these new products with the 20% discount code to get a fantastic deal on some brand new, cutting-edge technology. (Assuming we can keep them in stock long enough for you to get the order placed!)Hercules Series lasers are now regularly available with >650 mW sustained average power. See the product page for pricing and details on the new Hercules-600 and Hercules-650.
The Electra Series 405 nm violet laser pointers and Electra Pro portable lasers are now available with >150 mW average output power. Wow! This near-UV wavelength is great for stimulating fluorescence and other neat effects in various materials. See the product page for details on the new Electra-100 and Electra-150.
We've also expanded our selection of laboratory/OEM laser modules, and we're able to provide them with optional fiber coupling (SMA or FC/PC connectors) and other custom optics to give you a complete solution for your laser application.
