Telescope Reviews: Re: A focusing question

I have a chance to pick up a Stiletto IV deluxe with Ronchi screen 300. The Hartmann mask is just too difficult to use, and then I am not sure if it's on 100%. The Stilleto is going for $100 Canadian. I guess I should jump on this. It has never been used, as fits the OM1 camera. Speaking of OM1's, there are a couple on Ebay that are serviced and guaranteed in excellent condition. I guess I'm going to bid on them. My old Konica has will be used for wide field photo's. I have a Konica vari-focal lens (rare)that has increments from 35 - 50 - 70 - 85 - 100. Once you change power you must refocus. You can't tell the difference on photo's between a fixed lens and this lens. It is 82mm and F2.8 and cost $450 back in 1974.

I was out with my Equinox 80mm last night and was imaging M57 prime. I was glued to the illuminated eyepiece on the 150 F8 refractor when a bright light zoomed across it. I think I may have captured a meteor. The film is being processed and I will know tomorrow night. Thanks for listening.
