[C14] Does the C14 OTA visual back accept a 2" diaganol?

paulatkinson22 All Messages By This Member #270 Jim, Don't get the Starbeam! ?It looks cool but is a pain. ?First, it is VERY easy to knock out of alignment. ?I am constantly realigning mine. ?Second, it offers no light gathering or magnification. ?As such, on nights when you might need a 50mm or 60mm finder to give you just enough light grasp to see something, you won't be able to with Starbeam. ?Of course, all that being said, the Starbeam is what I have, and the reason I am looking for something else.

jamesnanderson All Messages By This Member #268 I use the 2" back that came with the C14 for the 2" Everbrite. I use 45lbs (three WO weights) plus the heavy weight shaft to support the C14 on my WO GT1-HD and have room left to move the weights further down the shaft for supporting the MX7c camera and Optec TCF focuser. Side bar - I have not selected a finder scope yet (telrad only) and would like to get any suggestions/recommendations from other C14 owners.

Subject: [C14] Does the C14 OTA visual back accept a 2" diaganol? I am trying to determine if I need an adapter like Tele Vue and AP make to use my 2" Everbrite with a so-to-be-new C14. Also -- how much counterwweight is neccessary to blance a C14 with visual accesories on a G11 or CI700 mount? To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: C14-unsubscribe@... Your use of Yahoo!

jamesnanderson All Messages By This Member #271 开云体育 Thanks for your reply Paul, ? I spoke with my dealer and their response was the Celestron finder was acceptable for what I wanted.? I have the telrad already on the C14 - just wanted to be able to get down within 5 - 7 degrees of what I?was searching for.? So far with?the Telrad and the 40mm Pentax, I haven't found the need for anything else but thought I might be missing a better tool to find the objects quicker or to complement what I have.? I agree the Starbeam looks sexy from the uninitiated perspective (haven't seen one in action yet but size and from Tele Vue to boot are good selling points)?and I would look at using it on a smaller scope than the C14 (telrad on a FLT110 just doesn't seem appropriate :) .? ? ? As for the eyepiece request from televue102?- My vote is for the Pentax XL28.??It fills?the cap with what I have which is ? Pentax XL40, Tele Vue 31, XL28, XL14, Tele Vue 10.5, XL5.2 ?
