Great report Larry. With two F50's mounted one on my SV102ABV and one on my 8" Dob, I am getting more and more experience with it. Dozens of dso's are visible...
Chris, Congradulations... again! I see you got your name mentioned at SpaceWeather.com this morning concerning this comet. The photo on the page is not yours,...
... Hi Rich; I should ammend my point, and say the "stock" versions of the EQ6 are in adequate. A local friend of mine rebuilt and HEQ5 mount. For anyone...
Take a look http://www.vixenamerica.com/StartPage/ It will be interesting to see what happens. 20 yearsw ago, Vixen had a good, short tube 80mm refractor, and...
Chris: You are really helping to illustrate the performance of the SV80 as an astrograph. The combination of the SV80 and Televue field flattener is a marriage...
... Bummer! I think you might have the right idea about having some custom machining done to the FT. While the compression ring would be better than the...
Larry, I thoroughly enjoyed your post about observing with your F50. Two years ago at RTMC I used the same combo and could not believe how well it worked...

... It's fun to theorize about the gear that could be. I love my F50, and just wanted something to go deeper with for my bigger scope. The ideal F80 may be a...
There was a question posted in CN about a shift in the image after rotating the back of a F50. I tried this with mine and found that this happens on mine also....
From what Vic has posted this is normal. The F50 is a finder that has parts machined to a price. From what Vic has mentioned about the difficulties of...
... Thanks Rich, That's what I thought. Thinking about this I don't think that the roatating back is at fault. The aperture of the rotating back should be in...
