Hi Paul, I have had a variable polarizing filter (Antares)for some time and find it very useful. Indispensable, even, when I use my telescope to view the Moon...
The Orion Variable Polarizing filter does not work like the Celestron you described. The Orion is a single unit. One ends threads into the eyepiece, the other...

I'm going to purchase a NexImage today or tomorrow. I noticed several websites recommend to also purchase a focal reducer. I don't know much about focal...
Hmm, well yea basically they are the opposite of a barlow, they zoom you out instead of zooming you in. Well I use an orion 8Xti, 8" dob, my focal length is...
Hi Greg, I find a focal reducer very useful. I bought the one sold by Celestron for use with the Neximage imager. According to my estimates, with my 8" SC...

I used to use AMCap. I couldn't stand it with cold hands numbing fingers click click name file, set size, click, set exposure, click. I bought K3CCDtools and...
Jeff, Does K3CCDTools capture a better image or is it just easier to use at the scope? I'll have to admit that I was doing a lot of keystrokes every time I ...
Has anyone had experience with Maxin software. It came with my StarStoot II camera. I can load only 58 frames. It seems to want more memory. I have 2G now. ...
