I have received the Optec TCF-S and as indicated in the documentation, the process for setting the focus range is to move the mirror to a get fairly good focus on the subject, lock down the mirror and

I posted some new images to "Ken Images" in the Files area. The new ones are M13, M51, and M57. These were some quick exposures I made with my new AP1200 mount. Really improved performance. The M57

Hi all, I wrote a while ago about moisture in my C14 that was frezzing on the inside of the corrector plate. Wayne G. and Paul A. responded with suggestions. I did try these with good success.

I recall a discussion about certain eyepiece focal lengths causing the shadow of the secondary to be more prominent. Is there some coorealation between EP FL and scope FL?

I have used the TV55mm Plossl at f/11 and with the 6.3 focal reducer and have not seen the shadow that some talk about. Paul Atkinson

No. Collimate on a star, costs you 0 $ and some attention. Geert Vdbulcke Belgium

I am looking for suggestions on which flip mirror to purchase. My image train on the C14 consists of Optec TCF-S, 6.3 Compressor and MX7-C. I would like to add a flip mirror between the focuser and

Greetings, all. In really drak skies the scope does very well. But I have a friend with an Astrophysics refractor and we argue about contrast. I cannot fix the central obstruction, and I keep the

Do I need one?

Paul, I took the beast out tonight to a some what semi dark site called the Forks of the Credit River (just north of Toronto) as the weather man/women is calling for rain for the rest of the week. The

I USE A55 MM TELEVUE FOR LOOKING AT GALAXIE GROUPS SUCH AS M65,M66 AND NGC3628. ALSO GOOD FOR M35 AND COMPANION OPEN CLUSTER NGC2158.ALSO GALAXIES IN THE VIRGO AND COMA REGIONS.

Good afternoon Jim: I use the Celestron 7x50 Polaris Finderscope. It is a very nice finderscope and can double in the role of rough polar alignment. Clear skies, Kevin Dixon ksbtk@... From:

Perhaps an 18 mm Radian. Gives wonderful views at about 250x. Clear skies, Kevin Dixon ksbtk@... From: "televue102" <televue102@...>

Since Johannes answered the first question, I'll answer the second. I use 50 pounds of counterweights on my CI-700. That is, two 25 pound counterweights. Clear skies, Kevin Dixon ksbtk@...

Paul, What would you recommend for the higher range ( than the XL5.2)? A 3 or 4mm maybe. Who's? Jim

Jim, I don't know when you will ever get to use a power that a 6mm or lower EP will produce. The 3910 focal length of the C14 would mean that a 6 mm would produce 650x, a 5 mm 782x power. You would

What do you not like about the 22mm Nagler T4.........? Everything I have heard says it is a great eyepiece................... Am considering it for my C11.

Is anyone using the TV 55mm Plossl with the C14? Please pardon all my questions -- but I am coming from a life of 800- 1200mm focal length refractors. This 3910mm fl takes some getting used to.

Thanks for your reply Paul, I spoke with my dealer and their response was the Celestron finder was acceptable for what I wanted. I have the telrad already on the C14 - just wanted to be able to get
