>>by the way....this is the ONLY forum that has persuaded me to by a product in less than 3 days!

If you're ever in the market for a telescope, check out the Stellarvue forum on Yahoo. Stellarvue is the only other company I have seen in the same league as Axiom in terms of product quality and customer "passion", although I imagine Onix is pretty close.

3 days and you'll be buying a telescope even if you never wanted one
