I worked for many years in steam/electric power plants. We did our best to hold freq to an "acceptable" limit. But when a big load swing would occur the freq...
hi group, i've always wondered about the 'spot' a lot of references recommend taping onto your mirror to mark the center and why you aren't risking causing...
What I do is cut a thin cardboard circle (marked with a compass) the diameter of the mirror. I then cut out about a 1/4" diameter hole in the center of the ...
The way I located the center to apply a "spot" was to cut a circle out of paper the same diameter as the mirror. Then fold the paper in quarters and clip off...
Hi,everyone, I just joined your group to try to get the word out to look for my stolen scope. Stolen in the last 2 weeks. I posted a forum notice on Astromart...
Hi Frank, Sorry to hear about the scope. YOu can also post the description at the group for stolen scopes at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MissingScope/ Clear...
Frank, sorry to here about your scope. Just goes to show that nothing is safe from thieves. If you haven't already you may want to get the word out to pawn...
Thanks Chuck, I didn't know about the missing scope site, I will be joining it and posting there too. Looks like they have about 122 members, that's 244 more...

Thanks for the support everyone, I just posted a new ,better photo of the scope in the Photos section under "Stolen Dynascope". If anyone spots it on ebay or...
Hello, I have a Celestron C150-HD Reflector (the one with the corrector lens between the primary and secondary) which has served me well for the four years...
I'm not familiar with a Schmidt Newt. It all depends upon what you are interested in viewing. No scope does it all well, but some compromises work pretty ...
Dow I do not have an S-N scope but do have an LCD-75 mount which I use to run my 6", 8" and 10" reflectors. I bought it used and it runs fine. The 10" is a...
Thomas Cave used to say that nothing could out perform a quality Newtonian of proper construction. When I got my 6" f/10 kit from Stargazer Steve, I noticed...
I'm currently using a Celestron C150-HD hybrid newtonian on a CG-5 mount with a single tracking motor. While this setup gives me good views, I'd like to move...

Take a look at Orion Optics (http://www.orionoptics.co.uk). They offer superior optics to most other "lower cost" manufacturers, but of course nothing in this...
Can anyone give me a brief run-down on the origins and relative quality of the mirrors in the Celestron C10 N 10" reflector, the Skywatcher SKP25012EQ6-2IN 10"...
Add my vote for the EQ-6 as an axcellent value. But if that's still over your budget, another good value is the Meade LXD-75 audtostar plus 8" Schmidt-Newt....
Thanks for all of the great advice. First, a correction. My mount is actually a CG-4. I was evidently not thinking when I made my initial post, or I was just...
I had a Meade 6" SN, not the lens mirror combo, just the Newtonian. I got a Skywatcher 8" Newtonian with mount because it was cheaper then getting the 8" Meade...
The first two are Chinese and probably have similar quality optics. I am not familiar with the third scope. "My advice is free and worth every penny!" ...
