Paul, Could not agreed with you more. I will eventually move to a larger mount... someday! Angel

Paul, It a matter of personal preference, but one must see them side by side to get a feel for what I'm talking about. Take for example the anodizing on my G11 looks new after almost 6 years. On the

Angel, Thanks for you input on both mounts. My earlier comments on the CM 1400 GT were not intended to bash the CI-700. However, I agree with you on many of the points you made. I feel having seen the

Angel, Tell us your opinion of fit and finish on the CI-700? I'd like to hear what you think. Paul Atkinson

In my opinion a C14 is no less stable atop a CI700 than a G11. I own then both and have not been able to tell any difference stability wise. Fit and finish, that's another story. Angel

Well, not necessarily. I am quite happy with my CI-700 with C14. Check out the CI-700 group before you decide. Chip G.

Hello ! everybody Do you know anything about the CM 1400 GT Celestron --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup

Yes, don't get it. The mount is the main reason. Get the C14 OTA and then at a minimum the G11 or AP900/1200. You will be unhappy with the mount, trust me. Paul Atkinson

To reiterate, aluminum expands and contracts, carbon fiber does not. The more aluminum the more the difference. Therefore the possibility exists that the carbon tube might reduce or mostly eliminate

They are even more impressive now! How hard was it to get m57 on the ccd chip? Brian

Hi Brian. These images were all done with an SBIG ST237. Way oversampled! The M57 is f11, L 400sec,R 200sec, G 180sec, B 180sec. The exposures are way too short, un-binned, and just plain wrong to get

Nice images Ken, thanks for posting. Interesting to see how crowded the core of M13 is. How long was the M57 exposure? Like the colours, especially the m27 shot. What sort of camera have you got?

Good evening Wayne: My experience with the carbon fiber tube of the NexStar 11 GPS indicates otherwise. I was able to go through entire nights of CCD imaging without refocusing with the carbon fiber

Ok, I will try to address several issues here. As far as locking down the primary for use with an external focuser, the supplied screws are too short. One might try taking a piece of all-thread about

Both would go below air temperature for same reason that scopes dew up (unbalanced radiation loss on the sky-side of the scope). I am no expert but I think the carbon fibre is supposed to be optically

Good afternoon Paul: I don't pretend to understand this very well either. I am just going by what some folks who are experts in composite materials tell me. I don't understand the mechanism behind it

The only reason to lock the mirror down is for long exposure photography. The mirror can "rock" over the course of time, particularly when crossing the meridian during an exposure. Otherwise, don't
