Well, I finally got my 1278 out for first light last night. (I'll write a report, don't worry.) Sadly, I find myself in the need of an eyepiece! My other scope...
... Using a Cheshire, the straight through collimation is dead on. So good, I actually worried that it might be so far off that the second image might be "off...
If you're collimated straight through- but not with the diagonal, then that says the diagonal's misaligned. Wes ... From: BurgessRefractors@yahoogroups.com ...
I'm would like either the 102mm or the 80mm depending on price. Please post more info when you get back and how you can be reached to place an order. It's true...
An easy way to verify if the diagonal is miscollimated is to rotate the diagonal in the focuser. If the same amount of miscollimation is seen relative to the...
I know I had mentioned about the diagonal being out of collimation if the scope showed in collimation w/out the diagonal and out of collimation with the...

Bill- My personal vote/choice would be for the tube with rings and dovetail. I definitely want one of these- just not sure yet which until you announce ...
Hey Bill What's the price for the 102 package? I'd at least want the tube, rings, and dovetail. Thanks! Allen Ball ... From: BurgessRefractors@yahoogroups.com ...
Bill, I would vote for #2 or #3. The bare tube has low appeal. The package sounds like a great deal. Assuming it's our choice of eyepieces then it would be...
Number 2 and Number 3 are more then acceptable. Perhaps you could offer them in both packages.Have a package that includes the rings and dovetail only.And...
Hi Bill I would think that the 2 and 3 option would work the best. That would allow people would have already got your eyepieces, to get a great scope,...
