I don't know squat about his stuff really..but he tries to school me on a few things..I like it.
Just between you and I....He bought an Ioptron (Spelling) 45lb mount and has trouble with it and the hand thing
to move the scope. He was pissed at it. Something about that it was not sealed well and the Florida humidity
messed it up and had to pay 240 bucks for the hand thing.
Anyway..thanks for reading so far.
