    Feeder build plans

    Was wondering if anyone is building their own, and if you'd be so kind as to post a few pictures(or email them to me)? I've looked around the 'net to find a lot of plans....none that I like though(go figure!). Looking for a big one, something that will hold roughly 15-20lbs of seed. With lots...

    Do you use eyepieces with your scope set-up?

    I was wondering who uses eyepiece(s) with their optics... If so, what size optic are you using? What is the highest magnification eyepiece you use? And finally, what brand eyepiece is your 'goto'? Scott (expensive hobbies are killing me) B

    Canon XS10IS

    It's what I have.... So here goes, what can I do to make this work? Biggest problem, no threads on the lense and it is big. Would like to put this on a Meade ETX-70(again, it's what I have) and the lense is clean! Is there anything I can get to make this combination work? I think it'll give...

    I live in the Cabot area and would like to go to some 'hot spots' for photography and general watching. My current destinations consist of the Greers Ferry Lake, Little Red River, Lake Maumelle, and of course my backyard. While all these places have some birds, not all these places are great...
