Dear ALl, Please find an image of Saturn taken in red light with the C14 ... only 29 above the horizon : http://www.astrosurf.com/viladrich/astro/planet/sat/Saturn-11April2014-01h50mnUT-SloanR.jpg

Autofocus software FocusMax makes for perfect focusing with my C14. No need of the Bahtinov mask or the dodgy FT adapter. Don Clement

P.S. A Bahtinov mask can speed-up focusing considerably and makes it easy to spot check the focus.

" FT adapter does nothing to prevent the greased moving mirror..." That is not the purpose of the FeatherTouch (FT). FT is a gear reducer that facilitates fine focusing. I guess I should not have

"It takes awhile to master the art of SCT focusing. The key is to always approach focus from only 1 side - pushing against gravity. If you go past then back-up and start again. A "Feather Touch"

I didn't like the greased pole dancing moving mirror focuser on the C14 because of image shift, mirror flop, and the stiction inherent to a sliding focuser mechanism. I replaced the entire original

I had a standard C11 and went to a C14HD. noticeable difference in flat field performance. The C14 has some issues with focus and mirror flop so I would recommend using an OAG. I'm not sure if others

The SBIG is a standard 17mm spacer so the camera shouldn't matter. All Celestron Edge telescopes require specific spacing to you camera. If you are running at native focal ration, you will need to get

I have a C11 Edge HD and an SBIG STT8300M ccd camera. Does anyone have experience using a similar setup? If so, what type of connectors and spacers are you using to connect the camera to the

Brian, Please forgive my ignorance of astrophotography. Was the color image at the left (beautiful!) achieved by taking one image each in red, blue and green, then combining them to get the color

that dark band over the bottom polar cap is interesting. Thanks, Stan

Seeing was pretty good for a while when this data was captured. This image is a combination of 3 sets of RGB data taken over 22 minutes:

Thanks Stan, I think you gave me something excellent advice when you said not to over plan or buy/sell. I will just see how things go after I play around with it a bit. The Mallincam comes with a

" Starlight Feathertouch Crayford ... visual I don't think it's possible to use along with my 2" diagonal" I don't see why not unless it causes the back focus to exceed the corrector's specs, which

I have no issues finding a 3.25" adapter I just thought the focuser would be an issue with the limited back focus but after looking at the one your using I think I may be fine as it looks a lot longer

Edge HD1100 comes with the SCT adapter as 2" SCT to 3.25" where your standard 2" SCT back Diagonal will be attached. however best bet is to ask the Manufacturer, if they have any suggestions... I am a

Just wanted to say hello to the group! I just joined yesterday and will be collecting a C11 EDGE HD tomorrow, so very excited. Would anyone be able to give me some advice on Focusers for the C11 EDGE?

Dan, Nice find on Meteoblue! I like it’s seeing chart. It is much better than Clear Sky! Now let’s see if it is more accurate J Brian Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2014 12:21 AM To:
