Al, that is a great idea to line the laser along the focuser of the Dob (mine is the same 8 inch SW). I had always been thinking of a permanent attachment...
To all who responded, again thank you for taking the time to share your experiences with finderscopes. I really enjoyed reading the advice and narratives of...
Mary, I enjoyed your note on finders, as I have just gone through a similar experience. I'm just getting back into astronomy after an absence of about 30...
Hi Joe, The conditions look excellent and I think I'm going to join you for a while this evening at Moose Creek (from 6:30PM-10PM). I would also not stay...
Hey all, Just letting you know I'm heading to Boundary Rd tonight for a bit, probably around 10pm-12am, just a short session to get my fix with these beautiful...
I am selling my Meade LX200GPS - 12 inch - UHTC This scope was "supercharged" by Dr. Clay Sherrod. The scope is in excellent condition. Included in sale: ...
Hi again Louise, Just when I was starting to think that I had imagined the whole 90 degrees Telrad thing, my good friend Bob Pennent called me to say that what...
When I got my first scope, I had a lot of trouble finding anything with the horrible little finder scope that came with it. I do remember looking up at Saturn...
Hi Bart, I thought I'd follow up now that the stuff I ordered from Adirondack Video Astronomy has arrived. The dovetail and adapter plate are well made in my...
Flack! Flack! Flack! .... Just kidding ;0) In all honesty, I'm finding that as much as I enjoy my Telrad/Rigel combo, I still sometimes miss the convenience...
Hmmmm ... I'm going to have to defer to actual Telrad users to answer your question. The Telrad that I had access to several years ago had a reasonable size...
Louise, Dew will become a problem with the Telrad but it can be easily corrected with a 12 volt hair dryer (yes Rob that's the only use I can make of one)or by...
Wow thanks everyone for the input. All that experience at our disposal, what a great group! Looks like Telrad might be the right choice for me. Rob, you...
I think it's a personal choice rather than comparing which one is better. I started off 3 years ago with a Telrad and was very happy with it. Then it broke and...
I agree 100% with Bart. There is a saying that goes like this... The TELRAD is big, ugly, bulky and heavy.... bit it just works! Besides, it's not the...
Hi Louise. I believe I met you at Starfest (or Tornado Fest as Michel would say) last summer... you were camped next to Michel and Denise, and I was with...
TELRAD! (about $40. At Focus. In my opinion the best of the bunch, easiest to align and use. Bart From: OAOG@yahoogroups.com [mailto:OAOG@yahoogroups.com] On...
Hi All, I'm looking at buying a red dot finder, which might be used mainly for star alignment of a Celestron CPC 800. Anything that can make targetting stars...
Hello good friend Moe, The rings for your 80mm are more than likely 101mm (4-inches) from what I can remember --- they had adjustment screws on them as well......
Hi Rob. I have a set of giding rings that i used on the 80 but i dont know if they will the 120mm. Moe ... From: Rob To: OAOG@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday,...
