Mainly addressed to Peter, I have been looking for a home-build wedge design for my LX90. Scoured your site at Astroplover, but could not find it. Could you...
Hi, Robin, ... LX90 group site, files section, Wedges, Piers and Mounts. ... The link is correct - I've just checked it on the latest newsletter. But the site...
Steve, Beleive me the clothes peg method works even better than the jiffy focusser method. I still use my jiffy focusser but for really fine focussing on...
Hi all, I imaged Saturn the same night I imaged Jupiter. I only took two avi's of Saturn and I guess I should have taken a couple more, but I knew the GRS was...
Another gorgeous shot Ed, thanks for posting it. Hopefully will get out there this weekend and get something close to that. This season has been terrible for...
Ed, I assume you are using a wedge - is that correct? At 5fps, 2249 frames takes 7.5 min. I attempted to get a better Saturn last Saturday by getting a...
Hi Steve, Thanks for the kind words. I know what you mean about this winter, but I guess I've been luckier than most. I hope to see one of your always splendid...
Hi Wayne, I don't use a wedge, I image in Alt/Az. That avi was 7.5 minutes long but Registax 3 and K3CCD Tools both take care of the image rotation when...
I guess I should share my Saturn shot from New Years night. It is my sharpest result yet, although I screwed up the color balance at the time of the exposure....
If you have a scope with the LNT module and autostar asks you to input date and time, check the battery inside the LNT. I had this problem in my brand new...

Hi All, After finally getting my scope back from Meade, and having to wait 12 days for the clouds to clear, I went out to collimate the scope. I left it out...
Hi, Tom, Firstly, the knobs replace the existing screws. They're worth having, but not essential. To get that screw back. DON'T attempt to push the cell from...
Thanks Peter. The screw that is missing just won't reach the threads as far as I can see. The threads and the hole are lined up, to the best of my peering into...
Hi Wayne, That's an excellent image of Saturn. You can see the Cassini division all the way around and plenty of detail on the planet. I'm sure with longer...
Cheers Peter, I'll give it a go tonight. I was just after ordering the collu mates from telescope house in London also. I want to make this as painless as...
Thanks Ed, That image was my sharpest yet, despite two evenings since then trying to improve on it. It is frustrating that I manually screwed up the color...
Hi Wayne, You should try capturing with K3CCD Tools. Version 1 is still freeware. It is much better than the capturing software that comes with the ToUcam....
The corrector plate and primary mirror (and secondary?) are fitted to the OTA as a matched set. I do not think it is possible and/or advisable to just replace...
Based in England and having bought an LX90 last November I have clear nights to use it (In fact me going out seems to be the only reason the sky clears)....
Graham, I originally bought an Orion "moon filter" but found it inadequate for most conditions. I replaced it with a variable polarizing filter and find it to...
Dear Wayne, Thanks, I suspect I will have the same feeling about the ND96. PS Anyone from the UK reading my e:mail will have realised that I meant to write "I...

Hi all, I'm expecting my LX90 in the coming weeks and I hope to use the scope to do some imaging using the DSI. I am new to all these and expect a steep...
