Some friends are getting very good results with th ASI120. I don't know the QH5L-ii. Best regards Christian

I have the HOTECH advanced collimator for my HD1400 and it really works for my case. I always bring the scope to the observing location around hundred miles from my home with my car to avoid light

OP here again....thanks to all of you for your well-considered opinions on my quest for the ideal low power wide field EP for a C11HD. After also reading various websites til my eyes are exhausted,

Thanks for the great info... I really want to delve into Lunar photography with my Edge 11. I am thinking about getting either the ASI120 or QHY5L-ii cameras. I have a Televue 2x Powermate that I

Lou I bought my C14_HD, crayford and microtouch from Starizona in Tucson. Dean, the owner, claims the microtouch works fine without the crayford but I chose to use one anyway. Dean also swears by

When imaging, lock the mirror once focus is achieved. The mirror lock needs to be loose when focusing with the stock focuser. If you use an add-on crayford focuser, you can permanently lock down the

Agree about the 23mm Luminos. My most used eyepiece is my ancient 20mm type 2 Nagler 82 degree. An even older Meade 32mm wide-angle is also excellent with the C14HD. Lou To: C14_EdgeHD@...

Thanks :-) Yes, I use an Astrophysics X2 Barlow lens. More information on technical details are given here : http://www.astrosurf.com/viladrich/astro/moon/closeup/closeup.html Christian

Those are fantastic images! Are you using a barlow?

I agree, the HoTech, while clever, its too complicated and requires VERY precise alignment with the scope to give good results. Even he admits that a final star collimation should be done for accurate

The closest you're going to get to getting the entire Double Cluster at 2800mm is a 1-degree FoV and 68x with the 41mm Televue Panoptic. Anything less is going to show aberrations at the edge of the

"Be sure to keep the mirror locks loose except when imaging" Why is this important? I have a crayford focuser and my mirror locks have been tight for months.

thanks !!! I'll remove them asap.

I removed them, because otherwise the dedicated Celestron reducer would not fit and I couldn't tighten my visual back either (I have the Astrophysics 3.25" adapter -- works fine.) I assume they are

Hi group, I just bought a second hand C14 edge after using a C11 edge for three years with great satisfaction. Just a beginner question: what is the use of the two protruding bolts on one side of the

Super images Christian, and great processing too. I tried stitching them all together for fun - and they blend superbly. Mark

Amazing images Christian! Clear skies, Kevin Dixon www.magnificentheavens.com Sent: Thursday, January 2, 2014 1:05 PM To: destinataires inconnus: Subject: [C14_EdgeHD] Lunar images taken on Sept 25

Dear All, Please find some old images of the moon taken last September 25 ... I have completely forgotten them. All are taken with the Celestron 14, a red filter and an IDS 3370 camera. Philolaus
