Hi, Stuart - The field flattener description isn't very thorough - the tech specs were pretty scanty! I should point out that different optical systems have...
If you are talking 50" REFRACTOR Stuart, then the Yerkes refractor is only 40" (the largest ever actually used in a telescope) and the equatorial mounting for...
I have lost track of time. When is the next meeting? Tomorrow (Tues  5th or Tues 12th) I think it is the 12th but just checking our stars are aligned. Chris ...

My replacement mount parts arrived today. I installed them (with tools and everything!) and it fires up without any difficulty. No smoke. I still need to...
Mount hardware so far is working fine! Managed to do a quick alignment and see the Pleiades before it clouded up. Question for Allen--do I need to do software...
Hi Stuart, I don't think you need to do a software update, assuming it was operational prior and the new motherboard is the same vintage. It is a good idea,...

Stuart, yes, this is one that I have used before. It connects to your USB slot, and then to the serial cable. The other end plugs into the hand controller...
Allen, Unfortunately, I bought my mount used, and the computer cable that he gave me doesn't seem to work. I went to Frys and got the DB9 to modular ...
Stuart, I understand your dilemma. Sure, you can use my setup to update your controller. I know that the wiring is different than a standard modem connector,...
