Hi bikerfry?, Thanks very much for your kind comments. The seeing conditions make a tremendous difference in the quality of the images. If you had poor seeing...
Firstly, I hope I'm not breaking any rules by asking this question. I don't think so but apologies if I've mis-understood the rules. I've decided to sell my...
Thank you Luther!! I used a TeleVue 2.5x Powermate to increase my focal length. I insert the Powermate into my diagonal and then insert the camera into the...
I think a de-rotator doesn't work as it promises, does it? I heard from quite a few of people that this is quite a waste of money to get it. I was interested...
Andrew, welcome to join us! A LX200R is definitely better than LX90 in imaging as it has better electronics and optics. A LX90 is good for visual and some not...
I have purchased my last two scopes via astromart. (www.astromart.com) I have not sold anything, but so far I have not observed any fraud. George Erhart ...
I asked Luc Coillier (author of DeepSkyStacker) about getting a feature for saving the light frames after the dark/offset/flat/de-rotation processing was done...
Congratulations John. I've raised two helpdesk tickets about my faulty .63 FR. So far, the first ticket was deleted after about 2 weeks, with no reply. The...
Hi bikerfry. The base screw may be too long. Common with these scopes. Try adding a few flat washers under the head of the bolt, between the head of the bolt...
Ed, This may sound stupid but would I use a TeleVue 1 1/4" PMT T-Ring adapter with the 2.5x Powermate to use either my 35mm CANON FX or my NIKON D70.? Luther ...
Thanks for the reply. But let me reiterate. I am talking about the three-pronged screw that tightens the base, or loosenes the base when adjusting the scope in...
No problem on the confusion; we're used to it. I suggest you investigate whether the knob is rubbing the top of the battery compartment. It the past there...
Also check and make sure you movement is between the base and the tripod; not between the upper and lower half of the base of the scope. ====================...
Hi Luther, I believe only the 2" Powermates (2x & 4x) have an optional T-ring adapter. I would probably use a variable projection camera adapter. You could...
My name is Darren and I own a 8 in. lx90. I was told that the dampeners are placed under the tripod legs. I have never actually seen these things. I would...

Darren, I own vibration dampeners, and I would recommend them to prospective astrophotographers. In my case, my LX90 is out on a wooden deck, and if I am...
Looks like my trusty 8" LX-90 UHTC came through. I received mention in the December 2006 issue of Sky and Telescope magazine (page 18) and I have prepared a...
I humbly apologize for not knowing the correct terminology but will explain as best I can. One of the black plastic parts (or sleeve) that wraps around each...
Way to go Peter. Good write up and description of what you did. Luther pslipscomb <peter@...> wrote: Looks like my trusty 8" LX-90 UHTC came through. ...
Have a question - I bought a counterweight set for my LX90GPS. The store I bought it from said it was for an LX200 but it would fit the LX90. It consists of a...
That's strange -- I installed rails, top and bottom, on my 10" LX90GPS, and there were 3 stainless fasteners, top and bottom and at both ends -- the middle of...
Maybe it's correct, I'm just very leery and trigger-shy on mods on this scope. :-) To mount the piggyback adapter, there were two bigger hex screws on top to ...
