Thanks to Dr. Jim Menius for his informative `posting' to assist the new user. Perhaps you should write a book "Idiots Guide to the Meade 4504" – if you did...
Michael... I think what your seeing is the "spider" that holds the mirror that reflects the image to the eyepiece... the same thing happened to me when I had...
I'm looking to find a new mount for my 4500. The one I have fell over ( my fault ) and the piece that the counterweight shaft screws into broke. If anyone has...
hi guys&gals I have come back to the group after a few months break while i moved house {nightmare} i now have a field for a garden instead of a backyard and...
First let me say I´m never taking my pictures to be developed at Target ever again! Half my pictures were sliced down the middle of the picture and a third...
Penelope, You should look into developing your own film. B&W is good for moon photos, and I have discovered that home developing colour is not as difficult as...
One suggestion for getting all of your pictures developed is to put
instructions on the envelope to "develop all pictures-astronomy photos " ... From:...
-Penelope visit http://www.webcaddy.com. He has some adapters for webcams that not only screw into the webcam (no glueing) after you remove the lens but will...
... about ... BTW, I moved these picts to a webpage at http://www.britomartis.com/astronomy/ . It is complete with thumbnails so they should be easier on your...
Find I can take some good moon pictures without a filter using my Logitec webcam pro with a 90mm scope by takeing them during the day. I set the saturation to...
... The trick with astro photos is write in the "special instructions" box: "DO NOT CUT" and "Print all 24 pictures by film index" (that means they should use...
Just got the 2" adapter from Meade yesterday. What a difference. Had quite using the 4504 a couple years ago because of the poor eyepiece but didn't know it...
... Can someone explain what this adapter is, because although I don't have a 4504 I have been following the discussion with interest. Astronomical eyepieces...
... Hi, Start with the moon. I find that's the best way to try a new scope and become acquainted with its use. You can spend hours looking at craters, ...
Dave, The adapter is a screw-on cap that replaces the 0.965" screw-on that comes with most of the 114mm Meade OTAs. It permits the use of 1.25" E.P.s. While...
... I see, thanks. I actually have a DS2114 which has a screw-on 1.25" cap on the focusser, which may be similar. Although it looks wide enough to hold a 2"...
I bought a Meade 4501 telescope off Ebay. Unfortunately,it has about a 2 1/2" dent on the top of the scope. Does anybody know if this will affect viewing? ...
Hi, ... This probably won't make a great deal of difference providing the tube is still straight, and the dent doesn't protude in too much. ... Sorry, try a...
Dave, Looked through my junk box a bit ago for something else but ran across what I believe to be a 2" screw-on cap for the Meade focuser, since it is the same...
Dave is probably right so long as the alignment of the secondary isn't impaired. If it is just cosmetic I wouldn't worry about it but I'd be inclined to try...
Rule of thumb is that you can get about 50x per inch of aperture. That means for a 4.5" scope, about 225x is max. That translated into an eyepiece focal...
There is a rule of thumb that you can get about 50x per inch of aperture but that really depends on several factors. I've had some excellent views of Mars...
Besides Jim's comments which are well worth heeding, seeing conditions have to be extremely good to get beyond my 9.? E.P. You can get away with shorter on...
I own a meade 4550 - 4.5" reflector and just got a great deal on a meade 395 3.5" refractor (hasn't arrived yet). I'd love anyones opinion of the which to...
Would have to know it...Mother Murphy lives in my hip pocket. I bought a DS-114AT from UBID. Decent deal...but it came here with no manuals in the box. I...
I took a few pictures of the moon and thought I'd post them. the were taken hand held through a 25mm and a 9mm withmy digital elph...I think they can out...
