After much research and mental debate, I finally settled on a telescope and placed an order. Yipppeeee! (doing a little happy dance)
The forums have been slow lately and I decided that rather then tell people what I ordered, I'd make you guess! And just to make it a little more fun, I'm giving away a free hat to whomever gets it right! 
In order to win the cap, you need to be the first person to guess the brand, size and model of telescope. Oh, and yes, its a brand new hat! Good luck! -------------------- Domed 12/17/2006

How about a hint... What price did you pay?
My first guess. 12.5" RCOS, and I'll say Truss rather than solid tube! (This would look great on the Paramount!)

The hat is still up for grabs!
We should probably keep it at one guess per post and wait for your second guesses until it has made the rounds for whomever hasn't made a first guess yet. -------------------- Domed 12/17/2006

QUOTE(admin) How do we know when the second round begins??
I'll post "round two" if it makes it that far without being guessed. I wanted to give Ken, Rich, Diane and some others a chance to guess. Otherwise, I know you and Neo would pound away on guesses until one of you got it right! :shock: -------------------- Domed 12/17/2006

A Mewlon 250?
That Paramount would look really funny with a WO66 perched on it...
