Hi Group, Has anyone ever heard of Andrews Eyepieces? Have you ever used one? From what little I can figure is that they seem similar to what is offered by...
... Clif, I have been annoyed by that for some time but have been too lazy to do anything other than turn it upside down. I will try the electrical tape. ...

Don , On another forum Orion told someone that it would be a push to DS. I hope that they use the intelliscope interface so that I can interchange it between...
I've acquired a StarMax 90 that got shaken up so badly in shipping that the backplate is loose. When I shake it, clunking noises come from inside. The only...

Aha, Don - - - you've given me a clue. That O-ring was broken and hanging loose when I opened the package. I thought that O-ring was just a more or less...
Fred, There is no such thing as a specially made "O" ring. In fact you may be able to find one that works at your local hdwre store or auto parts store in...
