guide scope


Li Jie
 

Hi

may i know how do you set up a guide scope?
i was wondering how you attach a firstscope or something like that onto a c14 ..
and i have also found this cool laser thing that allows you to see where you are pointing in the skies .. like a visible laser pointer ... do you have any idea how to attach it and align it with the c14?
is the njp mount good?

thanks!

I have my C14 set up with a Celestron shot tube 80. It is an
outstanding finder for faint DSO's when in the Fastar configuration.
I mounted it on the C14 using a Losmandy dovetail bar on the scope,
and Losmandy rings to hold the 80mm finder. It really works great.
It is solid enough to do CCD work using the finder as a wide field
lens.

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 !
