					<description><![CDATA[I have had an Orion XT8 SkyQuest 8&#8243; Dob for a few years now and it has held up well. This telescope has offered up a nice view of a lot of objects but for some reason I have never written about it. Let&#8217;s change that. Here is a short Orion Skyquest XT8 review. I bought this telescope several years ago and paid less than the Orion Skyquest XT8 price on Amazon, but like most things, prices have gone up a little and they have changed the scope a little. My old Orion XT8 came with a couple of eyepieces and… <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://allans-stuff.com/2018/06/16/orion-xt8-review/">Continue reading</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One of the concerns I hear from potential astronomers is that they have to travel to a dark site to do any serious observations or astrophotography and they just don&#8217;t think they can haul that much equipment. Sometimes it is a matter of driving a small vehicle, sometimes a matter of weight they have to carry. Either way I can usually talk to them a little and help dispel their concerns. Lets start by saying you can have a lot of fun with nothing more than binoculars which can be worn on a strap around your neck. Whether walking, riding… <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://allans-stuff.com/2015/05/22/room-carry-telescope/">Continue reading</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[After purchasing my new Zhumell Z8 Dobsonian I thought I would share some information on it. In doing research for my upcoming book &#8220;Getting Started: Budget Astrophotography&#8221; I was in need of an 8&#8243; Dobsonian telescope. Lots of people have this type of telescope so it is absolutely one that needed to be discussed in the book. Like most people, I wanted the best scope for the best deal I could get and I had heard a lot about Zhumell Dobsonian telescopes, that led me to Hayneedle. If you are curious about the design of the Dobsonian, read more at… <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://allans-stuff.com/2013/12/28/zhumell-z8-dobsonian/">Continue reading</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Last month I purchased the iOptron SmartStar E R80 available from Amazon as part of my work on a new book I am working on and needed a low budget solution for AP and this iOptron telescope seemed to fit the bill. You can&#8217;t really write about budget AP if you are using thousands of dollars worth of mounts and scopes to get the images, now can you? So after looking around I decided on this iOptron SmartStar for a lot of reasons, not the least of which was the fact that it uses a side mount so the camera presents… <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://allans-stuff.com/2013/03/09/ioptron-smartstar-e-r80-budget-goto/">Continue reading</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I recently bought an Explore Scientific AR127 (sometimes called the ES127 or just ES AR127) and thought I would add my experiences to the other ES AR127 reviews. Back in October I bought an Orion 90mm f/11 scope to do visual. I didn&#8217;t want to spend much because I really don&#8217;t do much visual and didn&#8217;t have much of a desire to. Recently I have been wanting something a little more, a little larger. Not too large mind you because it won&#8217;t fit in the car with all the AP rig already in there (and I drive a full size… <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://allans-stuff.com/2012/08/05/explore-scientific-ar127-review/">Continue reading</a>]]></description>
