... I have ESP ;) No I actually know of Dave's scope from another group and I was anticipating that he was using it in his 8" f/5 Newtonian. Personally I would...
Phil, I usually don't go past 80x with my ShortTube now. In the past when my collection of scopes was smaller I did barlow my 5mm eyepiece in the winter for...
i got it yesterday and went out this morning, tried it on Saturn and Jupiter and they're both a little bigger now on the ST80...:). But i had trouble finding...
does anyone know how to locate the comet's position from day to day? i haven't seen a comet since halle-bop, which rekindled my childhood interest in...
actually, on a good night, i had great views of jupiter with my old siebert 4.9mm, really sharp contrasty views, i don't suppose you could look at much else...
Just bought one of these. Reading through all the posts, will probably get the e2 mount from orion. Right now, it's sitting on a 60yr old bogen! Think I have...
I don't have a coma, or noticeable fisheye in mine. Overall, compared to my 130mm reflector, very comparable images, and so much easier to use. The best night...
Didn't exactly mean fisheye - but there is a bend near the edges if you are looking at bricks, or anything with a straight line. Leaves, you don't see it. You...
... What are you looking for? There are TONS of manufacturers, accessory dealers and small-time individuals that will have what you need in one form or another...

Did check the list of all suppliers. Some might not list the generic type parts on the web sites. Could find plenty of stuff for Televue, etc, but not these...
Hi guys; I am new to the group. I use my SS80 as a wide field scope piggybacked to my NS11GPS. My Orion SS80 is old and it have gone through several...
The EQ-2 is a good choice for the ShortTube you need to order the 1/4"-20 adapter (Orion Part#10101) so you can mount the scope. As for what you call coma or...
Actually, that distortion is way on the outside, no more than some binoculars that I have used and I learned to ignore it. It was more evident with the...
weezy, If you read through all of the posts then you know about the tune up tips. If you do nothing else replacing the 45 deg diagonal with a 90 deg is a real...
Hi, ... a ... of ... listed ... Hm, the scope's focal length is 400mm, the FOV for a Plossl is usually 50 degrees or 52 degrees, and the focal length of the ...
Played with the 90 and a couple of eyepieces and the barlow - looked at a brick wall - no distortion at all. So the 45 must be off. Can't check the airy disk...
