Iam using large dog harness to carry my xt8 in and out of the house. Strap it aroung the OTA alt bearngs just tight enough so the bearing wont slip through. I...
Hi there, and Happy New Year to all. I own an XT8i that I just love, and my school owns an XT10 non-i. I've taken it home over Winter Break to give it some...
... Richard, Try calling Orion....this is one of those little items they may even send you for free. Make sure to tell them this is a school scope, too...you...
I own an 8XT, which I really love. I am looking for a refractor as a grab and go. I would also use if for some daytime spotting. I know that my views...
If you try the hardware, look in the plumbing section, "O" rings similiar to these are used in faucets and other sorts of pipe fittings...BTW, the little "O"...
do you have a picture of this? ... From: skyquest-telescopes@yahoogroups.com [mailto:skyquest-telescopes@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of nnohuree Sent: Sunday,...
Richard, your question did not give any idea as to what your actually looking for? No cost restrictions etc....If money is no object any of the Takahashi such ...
To be more specific -- I do not want to go beyond $500. I have considered the Orion Express, ST80, and 80ED. But this is only a beginning. I have two kids...
Hi Richard, another scope to consider would be a Stellarvue Nighthawk II. Very nice scope. Very good quality for the money. I think they start at $399.00. I do...
I recently decided to add a telrad to my 6" dob (and Hardin scope, not orion, but still similar). Because there is only 7/8 of an inch between the focuser and...
... Do you already have the Telrad? If not, you might consider a Rigel Systems QuikFinder - It does what a Telrad does, but it significantly smaller. -- Len...
... Do you still have the broken O Ring? A tiny amount of super glue will make it as good as new! I used to repair broken belts in tape recorders with super...
Super Glue is OK for a single break, but most often they dry rot over time and have multiple breaks. Like was mentioned before, if you bring either the old O...
... 8XT ... You may not want to go down in aperture, but for an introductory price of $400, Willam Optics has a new 66mm ED Apo with a two-speed focuser that...
... I would highly recommend the Orion 80ED. For its price range you won't find anything comparable. They is darned close to no false color and the new design...
Jim, Try the thread that contains messae number 28961. also if you do a search in the search tool on the home page for mounting a telrad you will get many...
Richard, I did just what Rick suggested. Fortunately, I had the broken rubber ring from my C-8's finder scope to use as a guide. I went to the plumbing...
Chris I bought my solar filter from Orion for my XT10. It was great for the Venus Transit and eclipses. However it has gotten very little use since then....
