Mine has a slight smear as you suggest and it does not comprimise the optics one bit. In fact,these scopes are very very sharp and a definate step up from a 4"...
Hi Rod, Just read your Blog & the bit about NexRemote & the new polar aligning facility which let`s you choose ANY STAR for this proceedure! This is great news...
HI Mark: Let me know what you think about All Star once you've done an alignment with it... Peace, Rod Mollise Rod's new book: _Choosing and Using a New CAT_ ...
Hi Mark, I understand Ted`s adaptors are for use with cameras that use filter wheels? How exactly do they work do you know? It looked to me upon a cursory look...
Mark, You still need to space the 6.3FR at the proper distance of between 100 to 110 mm from the CCD, but the Ted Agos adapter allows the focal reducer to be...
Hi Don, My scope is a C9.25 & I understood the option for them was to place the FR behind the Moonlite focuser. I`m getting confused with all these adaptors &...
Mark, The Ted Agos adapter was made to allow the focal reducer to be placed into the drawtube of the focuser. That could be a savings of up to 1.5 - 2" of the...
Hi Rod, I`ve performed the installation & have GEM 4.15 on the hand control when checking "Version" in "Utilities" & MC 5.14 (I upgraded it as well) but the...

... When you say "the Virtual controller on the computer screen" do you mean, perhaps, NexRemote? That is the only virtual controller I can think of that would...
Thanks Ken, I`ve done that & GEM 4.15 is now on the NexRemote Virtual HC as well. My version of NexRemote was bought 3 years ago with my NexStar 4SE (1.6.14)....
... the ... Don, Maybe it does and maybe it doesn't affect the optics, but look at it this way, would you be happy if your new 6" SCT had a very noticeable ...

Though "Google Earth" is now a misnomer, it's still neat and a good way to search for dark-sky viewing/imaging sites since the SCT User Imaging Contest is...
I threw my image into the ring weeks ago and still there are no other entries in the master class. What's up? There's no reason to delay, you can replace...
... This group's Yahoo home page touts 4129 subscribers to sct-user. Perhaps the economy is thwarting the effort? I know I've cut my driving to distant dark...
Sure I thought there would be more entries in the contest. Maybe in the last few days/hours there will be a lot more images ! I will try my chance in another...
You may have, but most folks aren't, what with the price of gas being quite low. I know I haven't had the time to devote to the contest this year, but y'all...
