Does anyone have experience with both a Cameo and the Eclips? How do they compare to one-another? Thank you in advance.

I have used a cricket cutter and the eclips, I like the eclips better. I have a friend who uses a cameo I occasionally cut items for her.

They're comparable in price and aperture and, since they're both Newtonians, their focal lengths are probably close. Their focal ratios are different, though. The Celestron has a focal ratio of f8 while the Orion has an f4 which translates to a brighter image. Also the Orion is on a Dobsonian mount, rather than the Celestron's slow motion controls, making it easier for a brand new user to point. In my opinion, though, once the slow motion controls are mastered, it's easier to track an object. Also, if you get the Orion, get rid of the red dot finder and get a small finder scope instead. The red dot finders, in my experience, are not reliable. If the battery runs out, it's useless.

I have a Cricut, and it cuts really well on the Cricut. I imagine it would cut just fine on the Cameo, as well.

I like the Uncle Milton Star Theatre Pro, except the light is a little bit weak. This is "ok" for my wife and I sitting around in our living room listening to music, looking up at the planets. But for a really serious domed black surface, you need something that is brighter, in my opinion. Last year a lighting engineer (who owns the company that makes slides at http://www.microstru.com) emailed me and offered to make a brighter light if he got at least 500 orders. I emailed him that I was interested, but I don't think he every got enough order. You may want to email that company about getting a brighter light. It may cost you a premium, but I'm sure he can sup-up a brighter light. There are also other cool projectors that you can get, in addition to the Uncle Milton. For example, there are cool laser show type things which I'm considering myself.

Sorry for the late response. No. I've searched high, and low. The stiletto 2 was a DISASTER in my opinion. It was my 250.00 paper weight. No matter what I did it NEVER worked right. It was only ever capable of being a simple radio. I could have bought a fifty dollar unit if thats what I wanted. I originally owned a stiletto 100. I then bought a stiletto 2 when my 100 went down in regards to part issues. Keep in mind I used my 100 5 days a week at work, at that time for 3 years. It took a beating. I ended up after two months retiring the Stiletto 2 to storage, and actually having my 100 repaired. I still use it to this day. I've had it since 2008. In regards to the Stilettos, I'm not sure, but I think there were some sort of legal issues involving copyright laws. Sirius decided to simply not deal with them anymore rather then spend time, and money in court. If I were you I would just invest in a basic radio. I would then use the Sirius app on my phone if you want go-to streaming capability. If you have a good phone it should work well. IF NOT I wouldn't bother. I have an iPhone 6+ it works AWESOME, and i'm in an old building all day. You won't have the full control that you would with a Stiletto but at least you"ll have some. Your other option is to cut your losses, and search for a Stiletto 100. There out there. Keep in mind, the 100s have an issue where the battery expands when it gets old(usually constant use in 3 years). Causing the battery to separate from the terminals, and shutting down to restart. Thats why I wanted a Stiletto 2. They improved this issue with the 2 design. Only problem is that the radio doesn't work. When this happens you either have to reinforce with electrical tape, or just simply get a new battery. Good luck buddy. Its a SHAME that they won't allow a DVR radio. I LOVED the Stiletto...

Great, please let me know when you get your new ones!!!; I've got a hole burning in my pocket I fear, because I've been trying to rationalize the purchase of a pair of the "new" ones, too. I keep thinking that the Monarchs are so light and solid that I having the Monarchs at a "closer" view might just rationalize my investing in a pair of 10 X (name the lens)...I'm leaning to a 42 or 50....but I have a useless (too heavy old style, Swarovski Habicht molded porro prisms) 10X50s and my Monarch 8X42s just lifting them up to find a plane taking off and hearing them overhead and raising the bins to my eyes and pointing towards the sound all in one motion is fantastic...I love that ability...and I have glasses with astigmatism in the correction too. I just love the ease of use of the 8X42s....so I'm imagining the 10X42s would be wonderful too.but an extra $300 for just a one level bump in magnification? Whitneymuse...

Yes. Sorry about the late reply, haven't checked back in a while and forgot I turned off notifications.Thanks for the link! I had seen it, but wondered if it's of the same quality. =)

I don't think the problem is knockoffs. I purchased one from Amazon that was new and the chrome plating was peeling in a two inch square area. I sent it back and was refunded. Next I looked in stores that used to sell them and they no longer carried them. I enquired at one of the stores and was told that the quality was so awful now and that is the reason they are not carried. How unfortunate.

I went searching, the best looking I found to this mouse, looks like a brown house spider? the one in the pic I saw seemed to have the same bulbus body shape and leg stance what throws me is the V shape head that runs into the back or midsection mainbody, anywho works great still freaks everybody out, Goal Achieved

I have both, love both. At the end of the day it's just an ice cube... I didn't break down the cubic density differential. I didn't lose sleep wondering spheres versus cubes and if spheres then where did the optimal advantage get overtaken by the nostalgic baseline as it climbed the charts in my satisfaction only to let me down as time ticked on. I didn't shake my fist at heaven and ask God why he allowed humans to create such perplexing ice molds. I didn't buy them because i hoped someone would ask what the meaning of life was, and or what differentiates spheres from cubes. If you need help with any of these subjects, i suggest you buy these spherical enchantments, create your own glassy globes, and stare into them searching for the answers. Just try to remember that they are just ice molds.

Thanks so much for your info Eric. It will be truly helpful when making my decision. Also the diagrams of the side profile were beautiful :)

I was concerned about this too. I got a pair. One thing though, they are significantly better than stock, but the one shines a slightly different pattern than the other and the lenses are somewhat easily scratched( my grill came loose and rubbed on it for about a mile and the and plastic was enough to leave deep scars). So if you can, get the Hellas.

I looked at the cheaper version and I don't see much difference except for the body model itself. This wasn't available when I bought the expensive one. Go for it. Can't go wrong. They both teach the same concept. Enjoy--the product is fun and very realistic!!
