AWSOME. I wish you were on the east coast. ( I'd hate to have to pay your Insurance bill ).

Oh to have a shop like yours in my town

I've done my share of buying from the internet, but nothing beats a full featured brick-and-mortar astronomy-gear shop!!

Having visited the showroom twice now I must ask: where was the music when I was there? And the disco ball?

Carol is right . . . you can get lost in their for hours. And the eyepiece shelves are still under construction!

Looks like the deck of a cruise ship during an eclipse. Really impressive collection and display.

No disco ball yet. We're thinking about it -- maybe two or three all going at once.

There is b.g. music if we remember to turn it on and turn it up. The music varies, depending on Michael's mood. Sometimes Delius or Howard Hanson, sometimes Brubeck or Oscar Peterson.

But we made a deal: he won't turn on The Flaming Lips channel if I won't turn on the Bjoerling, Gigli, and Pavarotti channels. I'm not sure who got the best of the deal -- Michael, me, or the customers.

Now you need to program the goto's to move in synch to the music!

The Blue Danube. It's the only choice.

Even that might get a bit tedious for those who are there all day, though.

most of the optics that I have gotten over the past 16 years have been sight unseen-by phone, internet, hopeful thinking
it will be nice to see the stuff in person, to compare, before buying

A quick business decision needs to be made to move the store closer to where I live. This per the following article in USA Today:

"Columbus in plum location, study says
City within 500 miles of 48% of U.S. population"

Yea, it's kinda like when you watch the Moon landings. There is always music playing in the background when the astronauts are talking to Houston, but I was there when it happened the first time and there wasn't any music.
