Hey David, Did you order just a mount? I was thinking of just getting one of the mounts to use with my Orion 130ST. The price with the 4.5" ota is tempting...
Richard, I have one of these Dob mounts coming, I'm looking forward to seeing your handiwork for the first time in person. I am glad that you have teamed up...
Vic, You may want to have your proof reader go through the detailed description of this new product. There are quite a few words spelled wrong and grammar...
Guys, If I were to sell thease out of my shop (Garage) they would cost the same as Vic priced them as a full assembly.I build them a few at a time by hand. I...
Neah, neah, neah. Some of us had a total of 4 clear evenings in April. Did you download a certificate and fill in your name and scope? You earned it. Larry...
Hi Soren, As K-R mentioned you will probably want the IR-blocking filter to prevent IR light from contaminating your images. This can show up as a haze as...
Hey Scott, Vic, Wade and all, I'm just after information about the scope. If you remember, I did mod it with the 2.5" FT, so I invalidated the warranty by...
Well David, if you're lucky enough to get all the May targets BEFORE S3P, maybe you can help out some of your slower friends at S3P(i.e., people like me!). ...
I got all the April targets :-) David E ... From: "scott_nc" <ssatko@...> To: <Stellarvue@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2010 9:02 AM Subject:...
Thanks again, Larry. I'm thinking about printing up your May challenge list to hand out to all the attendees of S3P in 2 weeks, as this should be a fun group...
This month, we'll concentrate on the constellation Virgo. This is actually a somewhat difficult monthly challenge, as many of the items in Virgo are faint in...
Perry, is your scope in need of collimation, or is this merely a hypothetical question? I ask mainly because if you're really in need of help with a possible...
Luckily I had the finder lens end down when I unscrewed the lens to slide the SV50 Clamshell on my F50W2. Could have been a disaster. David B. Pen Argyl, PA...
WOW, help hide my credit card I don't need another scope! The Orion SkyQuest XT4.5 f/8 is a spherical and the Meade 114mm f/8 models are also spherical. So are...
Frankly, I'd love to see Vic market the heck out of their 'Little Rascal' as the perfect starter scope. Just add a camera tripod (which people are likely to...
Vic, Wade, anyone, On my SVR90T's lens cell there are 4 sets of three screws each, spaced around the outside at 90 deg. increments. I'm fairly certain these...
Thanks for the replies. I can't get out much to experiment so I try to get as much helpful advice as I can in advance. I'll probably try it and see what...
Vic, I think I can safely say that we are with you 110% on this! Every outreach or public star party that I participate in finds me answering many questions...
K-R, The DSI III Pro does not have an integrated IR filter. It requires one. Also the Meade RB&G filters do not block IR. You need to use the IR filter with...
I have a DSI1-Color, which has a IR-Block filter installed in it. It looks like a little green window over the CCD. Might the DSI III-Pro have this, as well?...
another option is to use an o-ring around the upper barrel of the EP to have it "seat" squarely. This is easy to do, costs very little, and it works. Darren ...
Dear Vic, Thanks for the clarification. Am I right to say the basic difference between the R50A and R50M are the screws that are supplied with it? Best Regards...
No. The R50M (metric) has 5mm screws which are almost the same as 10-32. The R50A (American) has 10-32 screws which is used on the SV and TV clamshells....
Depending on the scope, it may be fine. Try it and see. Normally you want to arrive within 1 mm but on some optics, a little additional distance does not...
