Hi every one this is my first post in this forum..I am looking to become an owner of a ZenithStar 110 f/7, possibly by next Saturday..but just wanted to check...
The results were better than my expectations! See the Word Document in my folder (Cummings)in the Files area for this group. I would say the Scope is world...
Hi Roy, 1.96 arc seconds per pixel is excellent performance. Why do you claim the the camera sensor is not centered in the optical path? SBIG drawings show all...
I have been an owner of ZS-110 for 1.5 years, it has the goods and the bads as other scopes. 1) Its ED part is not an FPL-53 nor similar grade lens, WO just ...
Hello everyone, I own a William Optics 66SD Doublet that I wish to attach my Canon DSLR to for prime photography. However, I am having problems figuring out...
Hello David, The proformance in this example is 2 to 2.1 still not too shabby. TheSky6 resolves the images to 1.96/pixel. The Imaging sensor may be centered in...

I called Televue the other day to ask about this. They recommended the TRF-2008 for my M110. the 400-600 is an "optimum" guideline and the TRF-2008 should...
Hi folks, a friend of mine the other night brought his SBIG camera over to hook up to my M110 scope. During the time we were getting focused, we noticed...
Hi David, looks like a reflection of some kind. What else was in your imaging train? How did the artifact behave as you moved it towards the center? Sander...
Dear Members I was sent this fantastic 100% free link by a friend, so I thought I would share it with the group...enjoy! Collect over 250 free books by...
Hi all, Well, I only got one night and one picture from last weekend. Saturday the high clouds moved in and I could not complete the Whale Galaxy. :^( But,...
That came out nicely Floyd! I tried M63 the other night but didn't get enough subs to cook a decent picture. I did see that dust lane at the top of M63 (your...
One should also be aware of someone trying to buy a focuser for this scope. Garry Alberta Premium Optics ======================================================...
Hi Sander, thanks, Yeah that is a dark dust lane huh? I had fair conditions, but it could have been better, but at least I got one shot. :^) Floyd ... Galaxy....
Sander, you might just be onto something here. It could very well be light from our notebook reflecting into the side of the dew shield and down into the...
Hi Roy, You are right about the window not being centered, the glass is offset for the tracking CCD but the main CCD is opticaly centered. The ST4000XCM is the...
Hello all, I recently purchased an Olympus E420 for terrestrial photography and will likely do some astro-imaging with it too. One thing I do want to use it...
Do you have a WO 2" photo adapter? If not, it should do the trick. You have to remember, that these refractors were designed to reach focus with a 2" diagonal...
David, Thanks for that info thats good to know. Must have missed or was looking in the wrong place for the tracking CCD placement. Given the proformance of my...
Mike, I'm not sure if exactly what you want is available, an extension with T threads on one end and male SCT thread on the other. But what you might use is...
Thanks Seok for your frank comments I was planning to use a QHY 8 which is quite heavy..based on your experience maybe I should be looking at some other...
Hi Gary, I uploaded a series of pictures under "mcana's pics" showing the WO SCT threads (2"), WO visual back, ScopeStuff Canon adapter (with extension), and...
First of all, hats off to Timm for addressing this issue in such a tactful manner. While Thomas is no longer with us, any man's passing should not preclude us...
Hi, last night I managed only 3 10 minute exposures of M8 through the soup above Norwalk. It looks like the IDAS-LPS filter delivers. Here's a crop: ...
You are welcome - this is how I use it on my Megrez 80FD Scope > 2" extension > 2" photo adapter > T-ring > Canon 20D It is a bit long, especially when...
Who really knows the mind of another? At best we can only speculate, but competition in a narrow marketplace can be a strong motivator. The TMB 130 and FLT132...
