Re: Various test results of popular telescopes
My internet service provider really doesn't like that website. When I click 'continue anyway' there is a great repository of telescope optics but I get absolutely bombarded with dodgy popups that won't let me shut them down without ctrl-alt-del

Re: Various test results of popular telescopes
Mark.......... I get the same warning page - the BT version anyway - but when I click 'continue' it takes me to the page as shown in Merlin's post above with no pop-ups or other problems. I think the warning page is an ip 'filter' (I'm on BT Infinity) rather than an anti-virus one (I use Avast).
