There's some adjustment in the mechanism on mine, you can loosen two screws and move the motor drive / worm assembly until it meshes with the gear wheel, then...

Paul, Next step might be to take the cover off the motor assembly box and take a peek inside. Something might have slipped ... these are small nylon gears,...

Hey All, I was reading the new Astronomy magizine and came across an ad that caught my attention. It was for Pro Optic Eyepieces at ( www.adorama.com ). These...

I am not sure how the 4504 will perform on the virgo cluster of galaxies but I am going to give it a go on the next moonless clear night. This could be a fun...
I am going to have to give a tertiary agreement on this; Cartes du Ciel is a great program; very easy to use, worth the download, and no spam! Check it out;...
I posted this in another reply, but thought you could use it as well; If you want a good deal on mirrors, drop Jim Vorce a line, or visit his web site ...
I need some sugestions/advice on what type and where to purchase eyepieces for my ds-114. I hope somebody can give me specifics on what works well since I have...
Robb, When I purchased my 4504 in August or September 2000, I was not sure whether I would be serious about this "new" hobby or not. I realized that the stock...
Thanks for the fast feedback Jim. I think I might go with the 12.5 mm eyepiece to start with. I know once I order this it's going to be cloudy or sub zero...
... The first two eyepieces i bought where the 7mm & 22mm Siebert's. They are much better than Plossi's. I've since got a 8 & 22mm Vixen LSW, the 7mm Siebert...
I'm beginning to modify a Logitech QuickCam Pro 3000 for use with my telescope for astrophotography. I have orded a Mogg adapter - a piece of black plastic...
Robb, I have also purchased eyepieces from Harry Siebert and been very happy with them. In part, my satisfaction derives from talking to Harry, who quickly...
I just bought a set of the Celestron "special" $99 Plossl eyepieces. I haven't had the opportunity to look through them yet, but I will let you know how they...
Well glad to see someones else is going to try the web cam setup. I have started a setup using a USR Big Picture camera (CCD) type. I bought the Meade basic...
I thought about the film can approach, but for $20, I figured the Mogg adapter would be worth it. We'll see. Jim ... out ... fit the ... with my ... and ... ...
It doesn't. The lens of the Quick Cam is removed, and the camera is inserted into the focuser without using ANY eyepiece. This is called "prime focus"...
Ok now I have it.. When I started on my setup I was trying to get the camera as close to my EP's as I could. I have never tried it without a EP. I have tried...
Yes that is easy enough. Mine screws off without taking the camera apart. I have tried both ways, seems to work better on the 12.5mm if I take the lens off the...
Try imaging with NO eyepiece (and the lens removed from the camera). This would be "prime focus" mode. I haven't gotten to software yet ... step by step. Jim...
If you are interested I am trying to take some pictures with my digital camera of my setup to maybe give you some ideas for yours. I have access to a lathe at...
Access to a lathe would be ideal for such a project. For me $20 took care of it. Now on the other hand, if you come up with the ideal solution (I understand...
