Buy some good layers of insulated underclothes....makes all the difference in the world. For good viewing, you need to be as far away from any source of heat...
No heater....not even close. It will destroy the steadiness of the air around your telescope. If you want good views, then the telescope must be looking...
I observe from a deck ten feet from a door near the peak of my roof. If the door is open (letting warm air out into the night) it *drastically* affects the...
Get the chemical heat packets from Wally-World if you live in the USA, They heat for about 8-10 hours - Stuff 'em in your shoes, gloves and shirt pockets with...
This is my first post to this list as the topic is one I'm familiar with. Don't use a heater. Layer up and wear warm boots. If your feet get cold that's all...
Updated my Autostar. I haven't seen them asking for zipcode before. Is the zipcode more accurate than listing the city, or does it really matter? Thanks...
Mike Weasner has stated in several responses to the same question that it is better to use the zip code. I do not really know as zip code does not work in...
There have been some bugs in the Zip Code processing/database in previous firmware versions, so i'm a fan of "nearest city". Anything within 30 miles (50 km)...
Is it normal that when using the focus knob to fine focus an object on an LX90 that the image moves around the FOV ?..............I presume it's the mirror...
... Yes... it's called "mirror shift", and it's a consequence of the focus mechanism design. ... You can frequently -lessen- it by running the focus full-range...
In trying to adjust focus mirror wobble tonight by removing the focuser control ......something terrible has happened...............I heard a metallic sound in...
The only way that the mirror can fall off inside the OTA is: 1) the small retaining collar at the end of the primary baffle tube has been removed, AND.... 2)...
So you have both the retaining ring of the baffle tube (that has to be done from inside the tube with the front glass off) and the focuser taken out the back? ...
TELESCOPE USERS: POLLEN ALERT!! I have started getting inquiries with the advent of spring about POLLEN and its affect on coated optics and so it is well worth...
I done it...........thank you very much...........I am so relieved..............the clip that holds the mirror on had fallen off........its all very crude...
Actually the focusing design is excellent....what your scope needs is for you to take the mirror out and apply some very thick (Mobile red avionics) and...
Hello Group - Starting to get use to my older LX90 scope now. My Go-to's, are so - so. I can't believe that the scope chose Sirius and Capella for the two ...
... My LX90 LNT is well trained and calibrated- I do a lot of public observing events where we setup before dark--- so---- I do a fake alignment before it is...
Same here as with Joe. If I'm doing visual observation, I don't use High Precision. My GoTos are pretty good. I'll sync to an object once I get there and...
Hi all, I believe that High Precision is one of the KEY benefits on the LX90. I wouldn't even contemplate switching HP 'off', and even rely on one of Dick's...
I totally agree.....HP is one of the best features of the Autostar, and can really add to the enjoyment (while minimizing the frustrations.....) of the...
