hello everybody I 've just suscribed to the list, so I present myself: Jean-Baptiste Gordien, 28 years old, I'm french and I live in Bordeaux (the city of...
Hi Jean Baptiste, thank you for writing, and welcome into the group! Since this group is growing very well with lots of new people from all over the world, I...
OK, here's one lurker coming out. Vince in Marysvill Washington, I have a ZS80 right now plan on getting a bigger refractor in the next few months, most...
Hello! My name is Mario Bautista from Gallup, New Mexico. I currently own a Megrez 90 mounted on a 10" LX200 GPS.I use a DSI pro2 and DSIC camera. I now use...
very nice work! thanks for posting. Kurt ... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Access over 1 million songs...
welcome. I am just down the road in Woodinville. I agree seeing is almost always bad here, so getting a good pic of the planets, on a moon crater is almost ...
Man, I can't get that Megrez 90 promo price out of my head. I know I don't need another scope - but a 90mm apo for $1,000? Maybe a once- ever deal. Two things...
I have just joined the group following my order for a Zenithstar 80ED due Friday that will ride piggyback on an 8"SCT and do some traveling. It was a hard...
Hi Mario, I've not long had my ZS66 - In fact I took one of my first Deep Sky images with it last night from suburbs of London in UK - I have also been using...
Hi all, Hoping someone here has come across this problem and has a solution. I posted a similar message this morning but I think I messed up and it didn't...
I am sure one end or the other of your scope will come off. Hang on until you get the correct answer. You might search the APOgrade past posts that describe ...
John, Thanks for the pick! For a first attempt under less than ideal conditions I'd give it a WOW! By the way, I am Todd. The Mario reference was a specific...
I would talk to WO. You should be able to unscrew the main tube from the focuser, but I would talk to them first because it could void your warrantee. One...
Todd, You will not be dissapointed! I received my Zenithstar 80ED a couple weeks ago, and was impressed. The quality and workmanship was excellent! I...
Good new and maybe bad news, WO online shows a new field flatter for the FLT-110/130. An inquiry to WO as to the suitability for use with the older f/6.5 TEC...
Howdy all, Thanks for all ye're replies. I found out that the dew shield is a different design. So the apograde instructions wouldn't work. BUT I just talked...
Hello Todd, I use a Meade f 3.3 focal reducer attached to the DSIC with the 40mm extension tube (I think it's the 40, anyway the longest piece). This gives...
Hello Trevor, I have the same set up. The Megrez 90 should fit in the Losmandy DR 125 rings. Try inserting the scope form behind- focuser first. Lossen the DR...
Hello Trev, Never had to do anything to mount the Megrez 90 to a losmandy DR 125 ring. Mario trevor_durity2000 <TrevorDurity@...> wrote: Howdy all, ...
... That might be workable for the SBIG ST-X series cameras although it would still complicate getting the correct FF to CCD chip distance. But for those size...
If it's the same as the other William Optics scopes i've had there are three small slotted head screws that secure the focuser to the tube. Simply back these...
Lurker coming out: Name: Jack Meyer Location: Lomita, California, USA (15 miles SE of Los Angeles) Skies: Mag. +3.5 (in other words, badly light-polluted) ...
Hi All, Well I got a new mount a HEQ5 and was itching to try it out last night. I also wanted to utilise the EOS 350D's chip.. Taken with my WO ZS66 SD Canon...
Decent shot Paul. I think longer exposures are required to bring out the nebulosity in this beauty; say 240 to 300 sec if your tracking can handle it. Here,...
I'm almost ready to buy one of these BUT need a couple more reviews to get a better idea of performance...problems/annoyances if any...color correction,...
Hi Mario, Turns out that my "125mm" rings actually are not 125mm all around. The Scopetronix ones have a flat base so it's closer to 4.5 inches from top to...
I have one for 1 week and only got chance to use it once Monday night under the stars (and moon), so take a big grain of salt. Seeing was very bad, so can't...
