Hi all, While out last night my handbox restarted 3 times. It sure looked like it lost power, but the little red light on the base stayed lit, so I know it...
Hi Ray, I recently completed my roll-off roof observatory (completed in December). I haven't been too concerned about cold weather. Here in central NC ...
Glad to hear all the comments about the scope being safe. Second but related question, can the Autostar be safely stored in the observatory/garage along with...
Hello Dave, I've had lots of problems with the HBX cables. If you plug it in and turn on the scope, then move the cable near each end of the plug side to side,...

Excellent! I just took a couple of prescription sinus pills. I'm experiencing that same sensation but don't have to jump. Then there was the one about Mars...
Hi Kim, I no longer have access to the tools to rebuild a cable. When I worked in the lab at Cisco I had ready access. Do you have any descriptions of your...
Have you considered AstroPlanner http://www.ilangainc.com/astroplanner/download.html or Carte Du Ciel http://www.stargazing.net/astropc/ both are excellent...
Hi Ray. It looks like we share much of the same weather with me in Southeast Tennessee. It looks like your question has been answered already. When I was using...

Hi Steve, I keep mine in the house. Can't help that. It's the only baby I have left. Though it is not a new one, it is new to me and may be the last scope I...
Same here Lanny. Our babies must have the same DNA. I keep mine setup in the house and incorporate a scope cover that one of our club members makes. It keeps...
Hi Ray, Could you share details about your exhaust fan (manufacturer, how it's mounted, etc)? I don't have power to my observatory yet though I did ...
It seems that the responses to this issue are as varied as our personalities. Like some here, I guess I anthropomorphize my scope too. I asked the same...
Mark, I'm at work right now so I can't measure in/out travel but I'm certain it's more than that. I'm thinking I'm thinking more on the order of a half inch+....
Hi all, These are real good responses and it seems as though the garage it is. I saw a covering for the lx90 that prevents radiant heat from entering (I assume...
... If it's the same as the "zero-shift micro focuser" sold with the LX200gps, the total travel is equal to twice the depth of the U-shaped slot the holding...
G'day Terry, yeah that Mars one made it down under as well.... the number of calls I got was unreal. I'd seen the email and dismissed it without really...

Hi Dave, The problems with my cables were due to a broken or badly crimped wire in the plug. The power to the Autostar travels along the outside wires pins 1 &...
When saving files as FITS3P, I get the 3 colour fits file and a separate L file - I assume this is the luminosity file. If I then re stack the saved FITS3P...
The draw tube of the 129 extends about 1/2 inch out of the back at max travel. This allows +/- 1/4 inch of focus control when the travel is at mid point. The...
Loren, I would suggest the Celestron Nexstar 6SE as the total weight is 30 lbs. If you wanted to stay with a 8 inch SCT that can be broken down into separate ...
Dave, I've found that the power plug often gets loose. I now loop the cord around the fork leg and velcro the wire close to the plug so it can't vibrate out. ...
