Hallo friends and seniors, I guess you remember I have the new Omni XLT 102mm refractor. Very briliant optics, but I have a little problem. The mount is not...

Paul, ditto on the dim sum. As I post this my Chinese American wife, her sister from Canton & my daughter are making Dounn (spelling?), good stuff. By the way,...
I am not sure about the CG4 but both my personal older CG5 and the club's Orion SVP mount have an additional gear mesh adjustment for the worms with the worm...
... Exactly. Money and resources are not the issue here since much more money is spent per student in the urban schools than in the suburban schools, and the...
Hallo Ron, :) thank you for telling, I have operted the RA shaft, and those three screws to make it smooth, because it was oeprating heavy. And may be the DEC...
Hallo Rich Wood, Yes I have read that article. And I have made a few adjustments according to the CG5 improvising pdf file, when my RA axis was too tight. I...
C'mon, Harvey. I didn't say anything about what I think about religion. All I said is that I don't believe the US government has their priorities straight...
Jeff, I'm intimately familiar with the inside workings of a communist state. And I have to agree with your wife and daughter: the existing communist party will...

... I tend to follow the same thought, though my prayers go to "Spheroapoplanatica". A place where few have ventured , never to return from! Havin' fun, Ron...
Greg, Do you find that your prayers are frequently answered? I am willing to try it, especially seeing as another religious holiday is rapidly approaching, and...
You should start a separate thread for a wish list. But I can say that I did pray, and lo, the heavens were moved: and the sky did arch and bend, and the...
It also doesn't help when large Pharma drugs the kids for massive profits. How much do you think you'd learn about how to use your new camera and scope if you...
I agree Paul. If they have an agenda, increasing connection and communication with the West will eventually undo their Communist hold, sooner or later. Who...
Ron; I hope things work as far as getting the damping under control. I have never had a mount with the extruded aluminum beer can legs that had decent damping...
... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rich, I have no problem making my own replacement legs for the mount or making another complete EQ head and mount. I've...
Edd, my apologies. I am responsible for starting both topics, at least to some degree. I'll try to keep it more on topic in the future :) Regards, -Paul...

I am planning to purchase the Astro-Tech AT80ED or the new AT80EDT. I am new to astronomy and would like to be able to take photographs as well as share my...
Dan; Not clear from your post whether you are referring to astrophotography or using the scope as a telephoto lens for your camera for terrestial purposes. I...
What started as a discussion of the Chinese government's policies as regards the optical industry has IMO gotten into areas totally inapppropriate for this...
What's on everyone's wishlist for this holiday season? I'm looking for good ideas so I can add them to mine :-) I'm hoping for a motorized focuser for my...
