Jerry, I haven't tried the USB version of the Aircable device. My laptop is so old that it doesn't have a USB port. I expect that it will work, but I can't...
Jerry, I could connect to the 12VDC RCA plug on the outside, but I'm already using both of those (secondary heater and Sky Commander) and I'd rather not have...
I have uploaded some photos of the power splitter cable I made to power the Aircable wireless RS-232 device. They are in \Coates\Aircable I got a connection to...
I have posted some pictures of the quick release wheelbarrow handles I built for my Starmaster. They are under \Coates\Quick Release Handles I took some flat...
Ken, Thank you very much for posting the pictures. So I take it that you disassembled the connector and added two more wires to it for the "split off" to the...

Hi, After 5 nights of use last night was the first night I was not able to photograph with the S28 mounted on its Pier-Tech 3. Winds were up to 25 knots in the...
Hello, all, I have a SM 11 ELT 4.55 with Zambuto and it is great, I love it. My only problem so far is with balance. I use a Paracorr all the time, as Rick...
A solution to this was discussed on the bigdob group a couple of weeks ... Here is a link to a post I made concerning the installation of a dob brake. We all...

Nice job Ken. I'll have to whip up something like that for my scopes as well. Matthew Sherman...
... Hi John, it looks interesting but I can't access the link even when I copy and paste it. Perhaps I have to be a member of Cloudy Nights to do this? I tried...
That wasn't my solution- I was just passing it along since it sounded like a good idea (I haven't even tried it since we have SkyTracker, so the scope stays...
Jerry, I left the Starmaster wiring alone. The kit I bought from Jameco.com consists of unassembled Molex connectors of the same size and shape that Starmaster...
Matthew, Thanks. I got the idea from someone who has a brand "O" scope. Ken Coates =============================== Date: Sun, 10 Apr 2005 16:18:42 -0000 From:...

Who makes the Sky Tracker??? Is it made my Sky Engineering, Rick Singmaster, or someone else? I would really like to get some more technical data on the...
The Sky Tracker is made by Sky Engineering. I don't know of any other telescope using it besides Starmaster. I would contact Sky Engineering for technical...
I bought my 14.5" SM late last summer. I spent a good deal of my time since then getting to know the scope and perfecting my collimation skills. I was...
Hi Ron, As an owner of a 14.5" SM myself, I can say it is an impressive instrument capable of awe inspiring views. Enjoy the summer to come. I just had mine...

I should have asked asbout this a long time ago, but better late than never. When ever I move my 14.5 Starmaster on the wheel barrow handles it makes awfull...
Well, with the help of experts like Vic Menard and Mike Harvey, I think I have found the "perfect" set of tools for collimation of all my Newtonians...
... un-even ... My 20" does that when I roll it around. I think you are right. I think it is the handles moving up and down against the plastic bushings. I...
I concur with gumbydad2002. I too have had a constant quest for perfect collimation since acquiring my SM14.5. The Orion Deluxe Laser I had used with my XT12...
