Re: [C14] What do you guys think of this deal?
I am personally very skeptical of the high test number. That is not to say that it isn't valid. However, in any multiple element design there are so many variables that have to be perfect to achieve

Re: [C14] What do you guys think of this deal?
What do I think? 1). A C14 goes for 4K. This one is 6K plus shipping from Germany. 2). Since other C14s come not with zygos, we have no basis of comparison as to how much better this one is testing

Re: [C14] What do you guys think of this deal?
Many old timers have been saying it all along, the newer SCTs from Meade and Celestron as as good as they have ever been. My C14 should be near the specifications Markus listed, bought in early 2001.

Re: [C14] Modifications Websites
Thanks for the responses. This is a real quiet group! Anyway, looks like I'll be dismantling the C14, flocking the main OTA, relubing the primary, adding a couple of cooling fans and making a dew

Re: [C14] Digest Number 136
Rigel, The fastar equiped OTA has a locking ring around the secondary housing. When removed the secondary can be slid out. There have been some recent posts on flocking and I am tempted to try it. Of

Re: [C14] Eyepieces
Wayne, Great EP review with a lot of insight. About 8 years ago I suffered a serious corneal laceration to my right (dominant) eye. Since then I don't think my vision has ever been the same. I have

Re: [C14] Eyepieces
I have used the 14mm UWA. It is a good eyepiece, but it is also a clone, to my understanding. All of the UWAs were copies of the (series 1) Naglers, I am told. You will note that Meade has not

Has anybody used the ultra wide angle meade series 4000 14mm with the CM 1400 telescope. is this eyepiece is better than a nagler eyepiece. Which eyepiece you all recommend ! thank you

Re: [C14] CM 1400 Celestron
I have both the 14mm UWA Meade and the 12mm Nagler T4. I personally like the 14 mm Meade better. To me the FOV is flatter where the 12 Nagler seems to fishbowl a little bit to my eye. I have not tried

Re: [C14] CI-700 Travails
I cannot disagree with anything said about the 700. I primarily use an HGM-200 mount, but bought a CI-700 last year because I couldn't pass it up for $885! I purchased it as a light duty mount for

Re: New Images
Getting objects on the chip was really easy since I was using Tpoint. I did M51 at f3.5 then slewed to M13 and M57. Put them right in the center of the chip! Switched to f11 for M57 and just had to
