Richard, Interesting thoughts. Thanks for the input. BTW I'm using an Starlight Xpress Mx7-c with my fastar lens. Most of the starlight cameras should work with their adapter. They're smaller and

Hi C14-lovers, Yesterday someone from Germany offered me an old C14 manufactured in the early 80's. I asked him if it has Starbright Coatings and he told me that there is no such label on the

Richard, Your comments are interesting because I had always heard that the focal ratio would be the primary factor in determining exposure time regardless of focal length. Shouldn't the f/5 fsq be a

SNIP Can't comment on that, but Celestron and Meade produce telescopes that on average are good but this means that there are excellent ones and less good ones as well. I guess since they make

Hi all, I have a 1989 non-ED 178mm AP Starfire. I'd like to have a large aperture compact telescope and the C14 seems to fit what I need. However, some tell me the quality has suffered in recent

Substantially less more. I about it. One of my local friends in the SF Bay area has one of those GT-One mounts that he bought second-hand from another observer here. He has had a nightmare trying

If I may suggest the Williams Optics GT-ONE HD mount. Substantially less money than the 1200 but rated perfectly for what you want to do and more. I have had mine now for about 4 months and I can do

the Your wish is Celestron's command: check the Celestron ad in the December 2001 S&T (Page 43) "Introducing The New Celestron 14" GOTO Telescope". They base the mount on the CI700, and add

has anyone found a way to modify the c14 to be able to use the key pad of a go to electronic scope? Celestron says that it does not have it available. Maby if enough c14 users asked they would make

The C-14 is my dream scope. I may have the opportunity to get a fork mounted one in March for a really good price. But, if that falls through, I will get a new one on an EQ mount probably around

January Thanks for the comment on the shot. I think you will have equally good or better shots once you get that prized AP1200GTO. That mount is fantastic. I just love it. I finally have a platform
