... Yes, 400 / 32 = 12.5X. That's not much to see M57! I have only tried looking for M57 once with the 80f5, and was unable to find it, but conditions were...

Hi Cathy - Yes the moon has been very tempting lately. I have been 'focusing" my attention on Mars with the N8i though. Should have checked out th moon while I...

HI..... I just joined this group but I still don't have ST80f5. But I am selling my old scope in astromart and trying to buy ST80f5(the picture of ST80f5 seems...
Hello! Glad to have you in our group! Your mounting questions has been discussed many times. I have the EQ1 equivalent (Celestron used to sell it with the ...
... I agree Richard. That size of mount is great for an ST80. Is the CG- 1 the same as the EQ-1 that Orion sells? Some Internet sources indicate that they...

Thanks Jim. Something occurred to me while I was looking at NexStar mount: Can it point straight up? I see that the declination axis is offset a bit from the...
Robert - You will have to spend more than $400 to get an Alt-Az GOTO that will clear the base. Meade sells an equatorial GOTO for under $1000 that might do it....
