A few days ago I saw a post about green lasers for ten bucks. Somehow I deleted the post. Am I too late to be included in the order? Kim

XKCD: What if?
by Daniel Holmes 26 Sep '12

26 Sep '12

I've posted a few XKCD comics here over the past while. He started a new feature a few months ago. Every Tuesday called 'What if?' he answers questions with science facts and math. This week's: What if everyone on earth pointed a laser at the Moon? Would it be visible? Interesting answer: http://what-if.xkcd.com/13/ Read the back catalogue too--my favorites are http://what-if.xkcd.com/8/ and http://what-if.xkcd.com/1/ Dan -- Daniel Holmes, danielh(a)holmesonics.com "Laugh while you can, monkey boy!" -- Lord John Whorfin

Bucks Gears
by Mark Shelton 24 Sep '12

24 Sep '12

Hay out there in telescope land. Has anyone installed or have advice on Bucks Gears for a LX200. I am having a little bit of a gear slip problem when I get all my gear loaded on the 10" LX. I even get the telescope all balanced and it is to much for the plastic gears. Do you think this will fix the problem. Mark Mark Shelton Indian Hills Middle School CTE Tech Ed.
