Re: Buy a C14 or C11?
The C14 has the obvious advantage of a greater aparture, but that comes with the problems related to a 3910mm focal length. As a new C14 user, I'm learning that this long focal length tends to

Re: Buy a C14 or C11?
Johannes, I own both a C11 and a C14, both are on a CI700 mount with a Losmandy Gemini drive (C11) and an Astrometric SkyWalker drive (CM14). You will see brighter images and more detail (Orion

Re: [C14] focal length reducers
Good evening Gary: The answer is dependent upon which CCD camera you have. The Optec f/0.33 will not work with the ST-9E. I do not know about the Meade unit. Clear skies, Kevin

Re: focal length reducers
I have used the Meade 3.3 reducer and it works very well with the ST237. Very sharp images across the field of view. Fastar is really wonderful with the C14. I highly recommend it if you have

focal length reducers
Hi all, I'm considering getting a "3.3" focal reducer, for use with my C14 for CCD imaging. Two such devices are readily available, the Optec and the Meade. I'm interested in other users

Hmm .. because my primary mirror of my c14 is just too heavy .. Li Jie, You have to be more detailed. You cannot move the declination any further in what way? What tube rings? And why do you need

Re: Digest Number 68
Losmandy sells weights that fit on the dovetail plates. They might provide a solution for balancing your scope. Regards Frank the tube rings are blocking it .. therefore the problem of balancing

Re: guide scope
Have you got a Losmandy reference to the bar and rings ? I want to do the same thing with a C11 and an Orion ST 80 !

Re: [C14] Balancing
Actually, the normal procedure is to set the scope up as close to how you plan to use it (dew shield, finder, diagonal, eyepiece, etc.), then best guess where tube balance will be. Move the dec

Re: [C14] guide scope
