Subject: One place where you don't want to put a Tattoo
Hello Friend,
Personally, I don't have a tattoo.
But it seem's that these days, a lot of people do.
Then there is a fellow from Hamilton I know, Barry Sherman who has been an amateur astronomer for over 30 years.
Barry knows optics.
And Barry happens to have a body full of tattoos.
He has probably run out of space, but frankly I don't want to know ALL the details!
Heck, my favorite tattoo of his is the "Marvin the martian' of Bugs bunny fame.
Barry is a bit of a telescope nut, and has probably in his lifetime looked through, used and traded
so many telescopes,
I've lost track.
And the lesson he shared with me the other day is a simple one.
To see any worthwhile detail, you need aperture. Yep, aperture.
The trick is to get aperture without sacrificing portability.
It's no easy feat!
That is why the Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope still remains one of the most popular designs
of instruments for many amateur astronomers.
And one of the legendary Schmidt Cassegrains that has a proven track record of reliability and
sometimes known as a "quiet secret of the industry" is the Meade Instruments LX90 series.
Meade finally put them on sale this month, after many years, and unfortunately, there are only
2 days left in this month, so if you want to take advantage of the 10% discount, you've gotta act fast!
We have stock off all 3 models, 8", 10", and 12" right now, so there is no waiting!
Here is a link to all the details:
Meade LX90-ACF 8" f/10 with Standard Field Tripod
- Meade LX90-ACF 10" f/10 with Standard Field Tripod
- Meade LX90-ACF 12" f/10 with Standard Field Tripod
Offer good through May 31, 2014...
Clear Skies,
Ray "untattoo" Khan
PS I'll have to ask Barry if he would consider getting a "Khan Scope Centre" tattoo on his forehead,
because there was a bit of space left there. That would be pretty cool!
