Equipment Forum?

Post by Bill Bynum »

It seems that there are equipment questions scattered about several areas of the forums.

How about having a dedicated area just for us gadget freaks to discuss tips, reviews, questions, indulge reflector vs refractor sniping and so forth?

Then we wouldn't have to look at every topic in the forums. What fun would that be?

Sounds great to me! I am a certifiable equipment junkie!

I would still read all the other 'less significant' forums. :>)

Sounds like a good idea to me! It seems like a big topic that would draw a lot of interest.

Hi Mike!

Stupid question: What, exactly, does a moderator have to do? I might be willing!

Clear Skies,

As a certifiable nut case...stainless nut & bolt collector that is, I would welcome this new Forum dedicated to the interests of equipment and gadget loving weirdos like...me:-).

Sinced Kurt has expressed an interest in moderating, he has my vote!

That sounds great!

Some of us like collecting astro equipment almost as much as we like observing!!

Me too!

I have everything in the Orion catalogue. I would also have everything in the Scopetronix catalogue except I don't own a Meade telescope.

Hmmmmmm.
