To support my future dream telescope system, I'm going to need a 2 diagonal for low-power visual use, with 35-55mm eyepieces.
This will be for a slow...

Thank you all! I have been persuaded enough to actually order one (even though I haven't yet purchased the telescope with which I will ultimately use...
This is a mount for my binoculars. My red dot finder attaches to the piece that came off. How do I reattach it without breaking something. Looks like...

I would remove the 2 allen key bolts, put a very thin coating of 2 part epoxy between the two surfaces (if you do not want it to come off) and then...
Not sure if thats the correct name for them. Finding out my not so steady hand really shakes the telescope when trying to focus. Meade does not make...

You could call Highpoint Scientific and ask if this version will work with your Maksutov
My telescope came in yesterday. Was looking to see if Meade made a specific case for it but guess not. Starting to look at generic hard cases. Anyone...

Thanks for tip on switching positions. My case cost $89.00, which is a pretty stout case. Wasn't sure if it would be good to keep base attached so...
Put a Crayford on my ST80 and I love the thing - so much nicer than the stock R&P. So, being spoiled now, I was planning on putting a Crayford on my...

I have them as an add-on on my prisms/ diagonals, not as a main focuser. There is not travel enough for acting as a main focusser.
It works great,...
I have a GSO linear focuser on my SW ED100, replaced the original focuser as the original wasn't able to lift my diagonal, Quark (1.25 lbs) and 174mm...

The diagonal is not a 2 but an 1 1/4 since the 2 adds way to much weight, the 1 1/4 is fairly light
Next door neighbor had their back yard light on a motion detector. If I moved calmly it would not come on. Now they keep it on. They are nice people,...
Last post
a, why is the motion detector/light aiming towards your yard and b, can't they turn the dial down for the setting of distance to detect?,
I finally realized how while the GSO 10-1 Crayfords are good they really can't handle a load. I put the Quark and a cooled camera about 2 1/2 pounds...

I will check it out
If your only issue was the fine adjustment won’t work but the coarse does, just tighten the internal but a tiny bit. It’s very...
Is there even the most remote possibility of finding a 1.25 coma corrector for F4 newtonian/dob reflector 100mm aperture. 400mm focal length
Is it...

I will be in possession of a new lens (not telescope!) saturday! And on sunday I will have a dovetail L bracket adapter to directly attach my camera...
before the edge of the lens looked a shiny matt kind of glossy color. and bright too!
now its more than 10 times darker on the edges of the lens...

yeah my 2x barlow just has one lens in it. with the flat side facing the sky and the concave/curved side facing the eyepiece/camera so it was easy to...
I own a Celestron 9x50 RACI finder and I've always struggled with the adjustments screws of it.
It seems that the only way for me to...

I forget where I found this guide but it is well put together. It’s the manual that should have come with the Celestron RACI. I was able to focus the...
I use the red dot finder to get me in the general area, then target/central it with the right angle 8x50 correct image finder. The 8x50 finder has a...

I use a green light laser pointer to get me very close. I have a switch to quickly turn on and off. I make sure there are no airplanes in the general...
Now, this is probably not going to be news here; I found this little gem via a Facebook group. I am a Canon 100 user, yep nice small, light camera,...

Downloaded the demo of APT it looks very inclusive but doesn't support Starry Night 8 Pro my chosen Planetarium app. I may well buy it as I also have...
I will make this short. I live in NW Florida, where humidity is high in the summer. Will a Tempest fan introduce moisture in to the scope body? Thank...

Might you have meant these, which are very different: ... -products/ ? Uh, yeah. OOOPS, MY BAD!!! Disregard my post.
While we are getting through the coldest part of the winter I decided to make a proper wooden cabinet to store and carry my Celestron VX6 refractor....

I’m just getting back on after a short hiatus. Gcoyote this box weighs around 20lbs. With the refractor and eyepieces it is about 40lbs. I can carry...
