Fellow Astronomers, I recently replaced my homemade finder scope with a neat 60mm one on my 4.5" Meade. Better and clearer over the cheap poorly constructed ...
Hey guys! I've been lurking for awhile now, and am posting finally. What's going on? I am currently upgrading gear around my 4504 to do some 4.5" CCD. I'll...

Hi Has anyone had any experience of autoguiding with the 4504 mount? I have a 4504 and an Orion 102 Mak. I'm thinking of mounting both scopes on the 4504 and...
... Assuming we are talking about the DS mount, I think it's worth a try. The motors are up to it if you keep it well balanced. You may want to keep the...
If you have an extra set or upgrade mounts please shoot me an e-mail if you run across an extra set of working DH motor's (4504 mount). Thanks! (I don't have a...
Noramlly, I'd go the other way. Mount the Mak and use it as the guide scope with Meade's LPI & Autostar Suite. You'd also have to replace the aluminum tripod...

Well, if you are using a Meade Model 395 head, you just need to download Dick's patch (in the Files section) to add the 4504 mount to it. Meade used Model 395...
Yeah, I agree. The problem with most OTA's sold today is that they are put on undersized mounts to save money. The rule of thumb is that you can never have too...
