Hello Friend,

I will come back to the curse at the end of this email.A fellow came in to the store  this week to buy a new telescope.

   He already had a Meade ETX 125 telescope that was about 10 years old, that he wanted to trade in.It is about a 5 inch (130mm) telescope with a built in goto computer.

Having just pulled it out, after having it stored all winter, he tried to do the two star alignment but was not successful. Seems he real problem was, that not having used it for several months he actually forget how to do the alignment process.

We offered to have our technician take a look at if, but what he really wanted was a new telescope with bigger aperture
for CCD imaging as well as visual observing that had wifi features so he could his apple Ipad to control it.

    It was suggested that he consider purchasing a telescope that does the automatic alignment for you, and we suggested the
Celestron Nexstar evolution 8 inch model    since they use the latest technology and with the Celestron Starsense device
can do an automatic alignment, with no further input from the user.

It is a great package, and he is going to see a heck of a lot more with an 8 inch aperture.  Plus, he won't be killing his back
because the instrument is quite portable, and easily sets up.

Needless to say, he was delighted

Three pieces:

• Fork arm
  Optical tube
  tripod

Best news is that right now and only till May 22nd we have all the Evolution models on sale.  All 3 sizes: 6", 8" and 9.25".

This is a rare opportunity to save on a telescope that rarely goes on sale.

We have a good sized inventory right now, and more on the way, so don't be dismayed. If you are looking to upgrade or simply purchase
an instrument that will satisfy all your observing and imaging needs at a reasonable price, now is the time.

Give us a call toll free 1 800 580 7160 or local 416 783 4140.

Clear Skies,

Ray Khan

PS The curse was that it was immediately cloudy for 2 nights after he got his new telescope. Also, the problem with the
     ETX telescope was that the dec motor was not working, so it was not moving in declination. Therefore, no accurate
    alignment of any kind was possible.
