Hi all, I have never used a wedge but understand their purpose and plan to get one. Rather than spend between $250 and $500+ (AUD) on an adjustable wedge, why...
Hi, Chris, I made a plywood/steel wedge for my LX90 which worked very well. In Australia you'll be at a smaller latitude than me, so the extra overhang may...
Hello, I have the lx200 8" and i want to upgrade to the 12" lx90! Could some 12" lx90 owners tell me their experiences, are the views on DSO and planets very...
well hello there. I have a 12in lx90 and use it for photography with the dsi ,look in the photos section of this group under "hpcoolahan" they are very stable...
... I had some wind vibration, but that only happened once and I'm certain it is because I had the scope not completely tightened down on the tripod. Planets...
Hi all, Looking at purchasing a 2" diaganol for SCT. Looking for likes and dislikes between two types. 1) 2" diaganol for SCT (direct scew on type) 2) 2"...
It somewhat depends upon the size of your scope Denis. With an 8" scope you're limited to a 1.5" optical path, and the SCT diagonal is probably appropriate -...
In essence then, there doesn't seem to be much gain in going to a 2" diagonal on an 8" scope. Is this correct? I was planning to replace the stock Meade...
The only thing that a 2" diagonal does for your LX-90 is make you pay twice as much for your filters and eyepieces. Kevin Muenzler, WB5RUE 29º14'52"N...
... I hope you mean with regard to *his* LX 90 (at 8") as opposed to the 12" :c) Clearly, I can use a nice 2" eyepiece (which I have not yet had the ...

As I stated when I posted my M 82, it was a work in progress. Well, after 7 different post processings, this is the last one. It is time to move to something...

Thanks Stephen, your post made me try version #7. You are not the first person to tell me that I over process. Believe me, more have told me than not. LOL I...

Thanks, Luther. That image was taken on the 22nd. If you had seen my M 81 and M 82 that I imaged on the 27th, you wouldn't be jealous but laughing. That night...

Peter, Thanks for your tips and reference to your photos, which I've had a look at. Also read your notes, and viewed a few other wedge designs - it all seems...
Hello, Just want to know how well does the 12" LX 90 usually perform on planets and DSO, can i expect sharp images from both? Will i be able to use an 2"...
... I have had very very little opportunity to look at planets (or anything, really) with my 12" LX 90 since we have had lousy skies most nights since I got...
In the FILES section see the article entitled "An eyepiece selection guideline for the LX90". There are benefits to going to 2" optics on an 8" LX90. You...

It seems kind of silly to buy a 2" diagonal with an adapter so that you can use 1.25" eyepieces, eh? Kevin Muenzler, WB5RUE 29º14'52"N 98º14'50"W Eagle Creek...
