The sun is down by 7:20.
Nine fresh used arrivals.
The equinox is Tuesday. From here until March the nights are longer than the days, and that changes everything about this hobby. No waiting until 11 PM for a dark sky. No mosquitoes. Cooler, steadier air. You can put in two good hours at the eyepiece or the laptop and still be in bed at a sensible time.
Saturn is up all evening. Andromeda and the Double Cluster are climbing in the east. For imagers, the Veil and the North America Nebula are still overhead at nightfall. This is the best stretch of the year to observe or image, full stop.
Nine pre-owned items went up on the site this week, most of them Tele Vue. There is one of each, and when it sells, it's gone.

This week's standout Tele Vue TV-85 APO, Evergreen |
 |
|
Pre-owned · Excellent condition · 1 only
Used TV-85s do not come along often, and they don't stay long. 85mm f/7 APO doublet, 600mm focal length, 2" rack-and-pinion focuser with the brass clamp ring, 8 lbs. Small enough to sit on a light alt-az mount or a photo tripod, and it goes in carry-on luggage. A 4.4° rich field at low power and it still takes 150x on Saturn without complaint.
If you've wanted one scope you'll actually carry outside on a weeknight, this is it.

82° field, 12mm eye relief, under half a pound. A high-power eyepiece that suits short refractors like the TV-85 above, and a good Saturn eyepiece right now.

Excellent condition · Discontinued · 1 only
Tele Vue no longer makes the Radian. 60° field and a full 20mm of eye relief at 3mm, which is very hard to find in a planetary eyepiece at any price.

Your old gear can pay for this gear
Every item in this email came from an observer like you who was ready for something else. We take trade-ins toward used equipment as well as new, so that scope sitting in the closet can come off the price of a TV-85 or a set of DeLites.
Send us a list or a few photos. We'll research it and give you a valuation. Drop it off, ship it, or ask about GTA pickup. Take store credit toward your upgrade, or payment by e-transfer or cheque. Thinking of moving up to a newer smart telescope? We do that too.
