Hi folks, just rejoined the group because I just ordered the EON80ED as a finderscope and the 102mm f/7 as a piggyback WF scope on my larger instruments and as...
Hi Wayne, I'm the newbie who asked the original question. Thanks for the tip on checking the laser. How would I use a sight tube to trouleshoot the problem...
Wayne, Opted for the second method and was my laser out of wack. I learned to collimate my dob using a Cheshire and the laser never agreed with the Cheshire so...
The last time I had an overnight deployment (that fire which destroyed the 500 +/- mobile/manufactured homes), I brought along a 90mm f10 refractor and an EQ-2...
Thank you, Wayne. I chose the Apex 90 because of my vacation plans next year. I will be spending at least 10 days in a rural town on a Pacific Island group at...
Donnie, I found the laser and checked the alignment. This scope has a rotating tube, everything is right down the middle. Just bad glass, I guess. But I will...
Wayne, I left it in an unheated porch all day and outside for an hour, no change. I am trying the refund process now. Thanks, Frank ... acclimate ... same,...
Frank: OK and thanks for the report. Good luck with your Orion 80ed f/7.5. Mine has *excellent* optics. I would call Orion about the matter. They might ...
Hi Donnie, This scope is not an Orion, I'm afraid. In fact, I suspect that the cemented ED doublet is worth more than I paid for the entire outfit with case,...
Frank:Yes, I would aggressively seek a refund on the scope. As far as Orion's products go I have always been very satisfied with their telescopes. Good Luck! ...
I am a recent member of the group and owner of the EON 120. I am interested in learning more from others how they feel about the 'scope. I am very happy with...
Hi John:Good to hear from you. Its nice to hear that your well satisfied with your new Orion EON 120 Refractor. I have read a few reports and comments on...
I forgot to mention that I also own an Orion Mak 150 and would like to communicate with members as to what mounts they are using for the 150 and 120 as well as...
Hello everyone. Just joined this group and thought I should introduce myself. My name is Jerry and I live in Denver, Co. I own 2 Orion telescopes. One is...
Geoff pops up here from time to time, if you have not seen his review of this scope, here is a link... http://www.starrynight.com/sntimes/2008/07/#art1 Frank...
Hello Jerry, Welcome to the group. Rather than answers, I offer you questions. What mount are you using with the 120ST? What software do you use to make that...
Hi Jerry:Nice to meet you.... I also have 3 Orion scopes. I have the Orion xt8i Dob with the Intelliscope Object Location system, a Orion 80ed f/7.5 ...
Hi, Geoff hits it right on the nose about the EON 120 in my opinion. I have enjoyed every minute with it. I am using it on my iOptron MiniTower with success...
Hi Frank, My 120ST is on the Astroview mount that it came with. I don't have any complaints about it. Seems pretty solid as long as you leave it alone while...
Hi Jerry, Welcome to the group. I picked up an Orion SSDSI off AMart and plan to try my hand at imaging. I'll be using a Meade LXD75 mount with a Stellarvue...
David, Your guess is as good as mind as to where to start. I haven't had one decent image yet. My first and only attempt thus far was on the moon and the...
Jerry, After I wrote you I decided to try one of the Orion SSSSIs I have once again. I tried Craterlet, a simple capture program Craig Stark wrote for it, a...
Frank:At least you got a start. It can only get better from here.... I have a Phillips SPC-900NC web cam but I have only tinkered with it 2~3 times. I did...
I recently bought an EQ1 mount and it has a set of Konus stepper motors on both the RA and Dec Axis. The controller says "sky motor 9000 #1701." I was...
Well Frank, You got better images than I did. The first thing I found out that I did wrong was I didn't install the IR filter in the camera. Also, I didn't...
