Is there a relatively simple way to determine if a mirror is spherical or parabolic? I have a 4.5" mirror and cell that appears to have come from some kind of...
Mark, I am not sure if there is a simple way but I know it can be done. The question is why bother? It is essentially impossible to tell the difference between...
Thanks, Jerry. The main reason I'm wanting to know the difference is because of the relay lens issue. I'm wanting to modify my DS so that I can use a standard...
Mark, In order to use that mirror it has to be about f4 in the short tube. It is easy to sheck the focal length. Go out on a full moon and reflect the image of...
Sounds like a long tube would work. Mine is about that long as I remember. Remember that the distance from the diagonal mirror to the eyepiece is subracted...

which would you guys recommend to purchase, they are both about the same price at costco and sams club. Which give you the better image quality and so on. Any...
Neither really. Both are decent scopes as far as goto(if they have the Autostar 497) but they are cheaply made. If you can save up for a better scope I would...
Great, I really appreciate your reponce, I will save up more money for a better one. They are both around $200 at Costco and Sams, but I think I should save...
Gabe, If you do some research you can find an 8" Dobsonian scope for right around $200. Try Orion's website first as the intelliscope, while costing a little...
