A Big Hello and a few questions on a telescope...

Anyone try wooden tripods... I could imagine that vibrations would be dampened more effectively but would still need to be solid/heavy?

Oh they will be strong alright! They are treated, and made from a certain wood (in most cases - not just some planks of pine/deal). Wod, which is not as dense as metal but can be as strong in a lot of cases (obviously there are limits), is great for dampening vibrations.

Yea, I'd second that, I've an old wooden tasco tripod no less, and it was by far the best part of the scope! :lol:

Hello Hamster,

Have been able to get a few shots of the TAL and accessories taken - check it out at www.nancylaw.co.uk/telescope.htm
