Thanks,

Looks like i'll be playing around a bit. Anyway Just got word that my flange adapter from moonlite is on it's way, Soon as it's here i'll be pulling the focuser off and replacing it with my Nitecrawler.SkyHiker wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 10:52 am I'm not using mine much but IIRC it's 3 for a mirrorless DSLR, so for an astro camera you need at least that many. One was to make the focuser work better. There has been a lot of criticism on the ED127CF focuser that I'm not sure is justified. Mine was not tight but wen I opened it up and adjusted the various screws it tightened up quite a bit. There are also some on the OTA side of the focuser. By adding one more extender I got significant added stability because it would allow the focuser tube to protrude further back into the OTA underneath one of the setting screws there. Without it, those screws would have no effect and instability would result. So by tuning the existing focuser you can make it work well for AP. Altogether it became pretty long, too long and heavy for my AVX so I had more success with the much faster MN152. You have a better mount so that won't be a problem for you. I should start using mine again on the Losmandy that I got since then when I'm done with getting the 12" Newt working on it. Enjoy your new scope!
