Hi all Just fishing really - has anyone successfully used a Televue 2x 2" Powermate with a TOA150 and STL? Before becoming frustrated trying to get it to work,...

Hi Folks, In response to my inquiry here on finding a PD6-XY or PD7-XY system for the Sam Houston State University NJP mount which is currently equipped with...
Curious indeed. That would definitely be a problem if you didn't have the ability to adjust your pier to compensate. I'm not an expert by any stretch of the...
Anjal, I have the original PD-7 XY manual in Japanese (probably useless); and an english translation (8 pages) of unknown quality. Send me your mailing address...
... traditional mirror cell with the Mewlon 300 (Like a 9 point cell) Um, center mounting isn't traditional? I don't think that you can get much more...
It does get a little more complicated than that when you remove that word "small." <G> First, you are right: center mounting on a Cass is absolutely the ...
I tested this out last night. The answer is yes....but, only on the normal speed setting. If the high speed setting is used, both motors do not like it much...

Those two scopes have conical mirrors though, the Mewlon's is flat backed, 1.6" thick at the edge and there is a bit hanging with no support at all. The...
But what does that observation really mean? Without something like a finite element analysis of the design or an interferogram of the mirror at different tilt...
... Not offering that the design or implementation is bad or faulty, just that I am somewhat surprised that the mirror support is designed and implemented as...
Hi David, that helps a lot! All these adapters/combo's certainly make things complicated...to say the least. Seems like Tak could make it simplier. I took...
