Actually David you can. I have the Lxd75 GEM and the ASGT GEM also. I can mount the ASGT on the Lxd75 tripod and vise versa. The only issue is that the...
Travis: We still have these mounts but I see we no longer have them on the website. The head is $229. We also have motor drives although this mount only has an...
Les, Beautiful widefield shot. Â The Bubble and M52 together are a beautiful composition. Â Perhaps you might crop the photo a bit to zero in on those two....
Thanks, Jon. I have been using Lab color space to do final tweaking of color and contrast. It is an outstanding fit for our work, as it mimics the human...
I use the SLT mount with my Sv90T and Sv80ED [NHNG], as David E already commented on. I have had this about a year. The mount is not sold separately, and I got...
Larry, I have a modified Celestron StarSeeker mount from Orion I use it with my 80mm scopes(SV80S & NH7 Aplanet). The stock tripod has been replaced with a...
Hi, The CN forum has some interesting discussion about the Pavel mask. I made one myself out of card board and it worked super well! You can achieve perfect...
... Oh yeah, I remember your posts and have reviewed them and your pictures. It truly sounds like a great option for ~80mm sized scopes. I've contacted...
Hi everyone! Last night, I saw the Blue Flash! No, not the super hero, the planetary. NGC 6905 in Delphinus specifically. This is a small and rather dim ...
Hi guys and pals, is me again, i was finally able to use my SV102ED2 last night (a lot of cloud and rain, and trips out of the country latetly), it was 1 am...
Great report Rhamer! How do you like the Meade 16mm? I've been thinking of getting one but the eye relief looks to be too tight for me. I do have the Meade...
Hi David, thanks for the comments, i bougth the Mease 5000 SWA Set, 16, 24 and 34 mm (2") i am very happy with all of them, the 34 mm is the perfect...
Hi Billy, So what's the big advantage with this mask as compared to the modified Hartman mask with 3 holes instead of 2? Gary ... I made one myself out of card...
... Thanks Rhamer. I've been looking for a dedicated "high power" eyepiece for my F50 Sparrow Hawk/Finderscope, to give me more magnification for locating deep...
Hi david, i can see the entire FOV at once but not easily, but remember Meade has this method of rotating the EP upper part and this reduce or enlarge the FOV...
Wow David! Thank you for pointing this out! I love Delphinus, so this will be an excellent object for me to try and find. I just love this type of stuff!...
Regarding references to cosmological marine mammals: "Whate of a time last night...Delphinus" allow me to be confused. I thought that the heavenly whale was...
... This one is rather pretty Mary. Remember the planetary you found last year, I think it was, near the globular cluster M22 with your 102ED? It's actually a...
Hi Gary You can see the star test in this youtube link. When the middle diffraction spikes are centered, you are in perfec focus. This mask is extremely...
Hi David, Yep, I remember that one I found last year, and what amazed me was that it took me a long, long time to spot it again this year, but it has just...
David, The Blue Flash from an urban location? Â NICE CATCH! Â Your success is the reason we should never let anyone tell us that we need "at least..." a 6" or...
Rhamer, A 16mm EP in the 102ED is a great all-round tool. Â I find myself using a 17mm Hyperion more and more. Â The 16mm, 17mm, 18mm eyepiece range is sort of...
Hey everyone, Callisto will be eclipsed behind Jupiter's shadow around 9:30 EDT tonight. Good Luck! David E [Non-text portions of this message have been...
A mounting ring is another way to go, but it doesn't look as good. And of course depending on your eyepieces, you may end up with too much weight up front. SO...
After learning of Darren's and David B's positive experiences with the SLT mount, I picked one up last year when Celestron was offering a $50 rebate on the...
With all the talk about NGC 6905, I thought I would give it a try with my SV80BV. Skies here in TN for the last few days have been really nice. I started the...
As many of you know, we here in Michigan have been taking the Stellarvue 80ED (NHNG) to the extremes. This week's adventure was the purchase of a used...
