I have a CGE1400 and am interested in purchasing an off axis guider. I have an Orion Starshoot and a Canon T3i. What would be the recommended OAG for my setup? Thanks in advance! Mike

"Any warranty would be void " That ship has obviously already sailed...

I would never expect Celestron to be happy about being sent a mount in pieces. Any warranty would be void and they could charge you additional fees since it is more difficult to determine what the

Unless you just want to send it to Celestron for repair rught away then you will have to disassemble it to see what is actually wrong. You may be right. I don't know about Celestron but many Meade

No I am not sure about it at all. I just heard the grinding noise, and the mount will not slew in RA at all now. The clutch seems okay, and I assumed the gears were stripped. Many thanks for this

Are you sure about this? "Accident" would hardly be the word for what it would take to strip any of the gears in the mount, worm/wheel or spurs. If you have not been inside the mount to check, then it

I had an accident last night, and stripped my CGE Pro R. A. gears. I am thinking of doing the repair myself, and am wondering if any of you have done this repair. If yes, where did you get the

Thomas, This is it, you found it. It was formerly called the C14 list but was broadened to include the Edge scopes. -Charlie Lasnier

Thanks Stan :-) Yes, I have two 80 mm diameter fans on the C14. It does make a difference. I also added two support screws on the primary mirror support to improve the steadiness of the collimation.

Hi Thomas, Here is a comparison of the C14 and C14 Edge-HD based on the theoretical optical performances : http://www.astrosurf.com/viladrich/astro/instrument/sensitivity/sensitivity-analysis-SC14.htm

Thomas the general agreement is that the Edge poses no particular advantage over the 'traditional' C14 in that planets are viewed at the centre ie. not at the edge of the field. Having said that I got

I see that the Edge version of the C14 is currently at the same retail price as the regular C14. My primary observing interest is Jupiter. Which C14 would be a better choice for Jupiter? Also, is

Very fine! Do you have any advice for hi-res imaging? (e.g. do you cool or vent the OTA?) Stan

Dear All, Please find the two last images taken on this nice night on July 18. The area North of Hadley :

Christian, your work is amazingly detailed and something I aspire to improve on... I suspect it will take some time!!

Dear all, I was blessed with good seeing on the night of July 18. Here are some pictures taken with the "classic" Celestron 14, IDS3370 camera and red filter. The processing is done with Autostakkert

Dear All, Here are two more images taken on July 17th with the (classic) Celestron 14 and the IDS3370 camera. Solis Lacus :

Thanks Stan :-) I use the "classic" C14 with a X2 Astrophyscis Barlow lens, an Astronomik red filter and an IDS 3370 camera. The exposure time is 30 ms, I stacked 400 or 600 frames (out of 5000

Wow! Top notch. Please share some acquisition details; e.g. C-14 model (HD?), exp time, number of images raw/selected, stacking program, sharpening method(s), etc. Thanks, Stan
