All, Has anyone used this focuser on the 106? Tech support said there's not enough focus travel forward for it to work with my SBIG and color wheel. He said...
If yo use the larger tube holder with the flat plate, you can mount it directly to the bridge plate. Art Ciampi ... From: "drclarkjr" <drclarkjr@...> To:...
... IMO not really. Those legs are 2x4 hardwood. With everything locked down flexure is not an issue. The NJP tripod uses the same legs as the EM-200. I've...

I wanted to use the Optec on my FSQ-106 but I quickly came to the conclusion that back focus was too much of an issue. I wanted to use my ST8E with the CFW8...
Hmm... that sounds like the $700 solution. Any chance the single arm 11x70 finder holder (TVF1171) will hold the FS-60C? It mounts to an accessory ring,...
I have the Mewlon 250 on the EM-200 TemmaPC mount on the mahagony short legs. I haven't seen the scope on the NJP so I can't compare. My own experience is...
Yes, it will but you must tighten the heck out of the bolt holding the single arm to the accessory holder. Art ... From: "drclarkjr" <drclarkjr@...> To:...

... That's interesting, Gene. It took an upgrade from the thinner FC-L tripod to the SE-L legs to make my FS128/EM10 rig as stable as I wanted it to be, and I...
... I use the Shimano clamps. You do have to get them tight. I read the one other report of flexure present, so there is at least one naysayer. But I haven't...

... Thanks Bernie. As per my reply to Gene above, your experience is more what I would have expected. He has the long legs though (makes me giggle every time I...

- Just left the ep and yes with this set up the damping time increases to one second (without the extension it´s almost zero)... good eye relief eps help you...
Martin, I don't think I've ever experienced scope jitters from just contacting the eyepiece. Certainly not the way the typical Meade/Celestron SCT react to...

Howdy Group, My first image since last October. I almost forgot how to run everything. Bad weather, wind, snow, more wind, have all contributed to my lack of...
... Actually that's quite surprising, Bernie. I know what you mean, but I don't even get that effect with an FS128 on my EM10 - which I regard as on the edge...
It's simply that when you do a very short duration 400x slew to slightly change the position of the object in the eyepiece, the sudden stop of the motors with...
... OK, gottit. I hadn't taken on board the fact that you have the 400x model. I haven't used one of those, but you're right - it's not surprising at all....
Hi Bernie, I tried it last night with my NJP-160 Temma PC, no luck for me either. I still use Richard Lawlers driver which seems to work perfectly. Ken...
I ordered an EM-200 Temma 2 and have been waiting for six weeks. My dealer doesn't seem to be able to give me a time frame for when it might show up. Any...
