Don Yes you can align by the method Dean suggests and I have him seen him do it in person. It requires a bit of skill as l have and said you have to stand back just the right distance and center the

Thanks, Gary. I spoke with Dean at Starizona and he was very helpful. The secondary mount can be tightened without removing the corrector by rotating the baffle tube with the secondary mirror removed

Don At this point I will defer to Dean the owner of Starizona but will add these comments. Please allow me to pontificate. First in order to replace the washer you will have to remove the corrector.

Thanks, Gary and Lee. I think the secondary mount should not rotate, and doing so would definitely affect the collimation. That's why there's a registration notch, so the secondary will have the same

I would think that yes you are registering on one side of the secondary holder against glass, this in a perfect world should be sufficient to collimate the Telescope but because the primary might be

I have my dew heater under the corrector plate as well. The lip of the retaining ring is plenty big to hide it from the light path. When I had the scope apart to add the rear cooling fans and flocking

Gary, if the secondary housing turns, it could compromise collimation in a "situational" sense, yes? In other words, tightening the housing and using the secondary outer ring should be sufficient;

If the secondary is loose or has turned it is more likely than not that you have compromised your collimation. The amount that you normally have to turn the collimation screws when you are doing your

Hi Don. I'm a visual observer at this stage, and the same thing happens on my non-Hyperstar C14 EdgeHD secondary. I have a Cool Edge OTA cooling unit from Starizona that screws into the Fastar

Hi All, I have recently had the opportunity to work with the Mauna Kea Visitor Center here on the Big Island of Hawaii. They have a C14 Edge equipped with Hyperstar that we use for live viewing of

Very nice image. Can you give us some details such as camera, mount, etc.. Clear skies, Kevin Dixon www.magnificentheavens.com Sent: Saturday, October 31, 2015 10:42 AM To: C14_EdgeHD@...

" the noise level in the camera is really low. I hope to take advantage of that in my "red zone" skies." Bright sky noise usually buries camera noise (with sufficient exp time) so there isn't much

Stan, that is with the C-14 and hyperstar reducer to get F1.9. I'm using a QSI 690 mono camera with a Astronomic Ha filter. !5 x 600 seconds of lights. Really like the camera, but the field of view is

That is inspiring. Thank you for posting - Thomas

I like it! (esp because it is not "color") C14? what camera? etc. Stan

Just last night got 15X600s in Ha. All the frames were good until the tree got in the way. I would liked to have more data but I'm pretty happy with the result. Veil nebula (georgeh630) - Full

an easy install on the Edge HD 14? It is very easy to install.

Dan and Lee, thanks. Dan, I can't find an assembly manual on the Rigel site. Is that focuser an easy install on the Edge HD 14? Thomas

For my C14 HD I have a used JMI Crayford NGF-S Focuser I purchased from Don Rothman. It's been solid overall, but I'm sure there are far better focusing systems available for our scopes. Hopefully
