Sorry if this has already been discussed. Looks like another dob. Perhaps 16"? http://www.telescope.com/rsc/img/catalog/lc/articles/reveal.html William...
I am willing to bet it will be a new collapsible...available in a variety of sizes...I hope I am wrong though, otherwise I might be kicking myself for jumping...
I mentioned in an earlier post that I had it all visualised in my head, how I would design a collapsible base. Well thats all well and good if one has the...
Hi group; Well, I wondered away from SkyQuest-ing for a year with a Krieg-type 16 inch Dobson with an old Magellan I DSC. But, the Magellan had mediocre...
... This makes your second Intelli install on a scope it was not originally designed for, doesn't it? Make sure that there is material in our photos and/or...
Gene asked: This makes your second Intelli install on a scope it was not originally designed for, doesn't it? Jamey here: Yes, I have found that I love the...
Interesting. How easy does the tube disconnect from the base? Are the separate parts easy to move. I assume this fits into the car better, is connection...
Jamey, Remember me? I bid on your last Intelliscope modded scope that you had for sale. Glad to hear that it worked for you! Are you going to do another ...
I use an Imaging Source webcam to take AVIs of the moon and Jupiter on an 8" Cave equatorial mount with clock drive. I usually take 500 frames over a period...
... Feasible, but I don't recommend it. I did a bit of imaging Mars when it was at its very close pass several years ago. You can use the finder scope to...
John, Thanks very much for your reply. I have experienced similar problems with my eqatorial mount when its windy, even taking pictures of the moon. By...
Hi group. Ordinarily, I would not post an advert even for something astronomical, but this is such an extraordinary price for a cross hair eyepiece that fits...
I have an XTi8 which I love. I'm always reading the posts for ways to improve my Dob many of which I have done. There is a lot of talk about flocking the...
I dont own a XT yet, (Im closer than I was though), but I would suggest a shroud as well, it will help with dewing as well, to a degree. The thicker the shroud...
... Aside from the weight factor and I quess now the sliding of the 2 ends together for space, what is the advantage of a truss type over our tube type? Dick...
I must respectfully disagree with Mr. Larson on the thickness of the shroud improving dew resistance. The shroud on my truss telescope is lycra and is very...
... Yes- you don't have to extract the frames- you can use the AVI directly, but you have to do all the selections manually. When you have 1000 frames, that's...
... over ... These new truss-tube Orion dobs are sort of hybrid. The original truss tube Dobs collapsed down really small: there were two full- diameter (but...
... Misspoke: It's not Orion, but Skywatcher that's selling these "sort of collapsible" truss dobs. I believe that Synta is behind both companies, but am...
How do i drop this discussion group?? its clogging up my e-mail ... Reply: I've edited your profile so that you will no longer get any e-mails. You are still...
I just looked at the Sky-Watcher Dobs. Very cool design, but I think purists refer to this design as a "strut" rather than a truss design. Also, Great Red Spot...
John, Thanks for the reply. I have purchased an XT10i, should arrive Friday. I'll let you know if I have any luck. Looking forward to being able to find...
The whole reason to go to a truss design telescope is ease of transport and storage. My 16 inch Dob packs into my 1998 Chrysler Cirrus (a small car by any...
Just received the above scope and have had the following issues... even with very low warp numbers, hit 0.0 once, the objects I'm looking for are not dead...
