Hi Donovan, I've corrected much of the periodic error but have been waiting for a night of good seeing to really tweak it. It's gone from about 23 arcseconds...
Good luck to you, then. With very careful PE training I got very, very nice images with EXCELLENT unguided tracking …. Only limited in duration by the ...
I have a 10 Meade LX200GPS with a 3.3 Meade focal reducer. With the Motofocus.........what adapter will I need for this to work....or do I? I tried hooking...
The distance between the 3.3 reducer and the CCD chip needs to be kept limited to a couple inches or less or you won't reach focus. It might work with the...

I have just had to phone Meade about the fact that my 8" lx200gps was not turning right or left and they proceeded to tell me the quick fix as if it was...
Hello, Sorry if this is a duplicative post. I am new to the site. I couldn't find my original post, so I assume it didn't go through. I am looking for a...
I have an opportunity to trade for either a 7" LX50 Mak or an Intes 6" MakNewt. Primary observing will be visual of the moon, with some quickcam photos. There...
Hello Everyone, I am looking for a great planetary scope. Already have a SCT 8 inch but want soemthing that will complement it and be better for the planets. ...
I tell ya with the ETX deals I would get the 125. I got an ETX-125EC W/UHTC, 884 tripod, 497 autostar for $1052.00 to my door. Hard to beat and you can get (or...

You may also want to consider the Meade AR-6 refractor for a planetary scope - you can get one new for under $1,000. There is a review of it on the Cloudy...
... About 5 paces out my back door, LOOK UP at the meridian and hey all! there swimming there. How far north, so I can get a look at the Andromeda above the...
You know, I can remember as a kid, with my 60mm K-mart refractor, viewing something that might have been Andromeda, that was naked eye visible in my ultra-dark...
M31 is at +41, so theoretically it's visible all the way to 49S, even a bit further if you add the effect of atmospheric refraction on the horizon. But I'm at...
John: I'm surprised that you've not seen Omega Centauri. I'm at 39d 52' N and have seen it, granted that it's low on the horizon but I'm also looking over a...
I have to admit I've never really tried. It would only be a little over 2* above the horizon. The ground is pretty flat here (midwest) but none of the ...
You know it would be nice.... If somehow... the palm planetarium program could be modified so that you could interface to an autoguider and use it - just for ...
Why not just use a self-contained autoguider like the Meade 201/208/216? -John ... _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with...

Ah, you didn't specify the mount type. Scope control and autoguider output are both pretty simple, so I suspect this would be a simple project, for someone...
Hi Group, Tonight was the best night I have ever had viewing the moon so I thought I would post my observing report: I was out in my front yard tonight in...
