What was the fix?? Would probably help out other users later if they have the same problem.

The ideas I've received here are great. Another thought that has come to mind is to just use a decent finderscope aligned with the main scope. Thanks all, Glenn

Jim, While cast iron, by the ton, is about 10 cents a pound, it costs more when cast into something. You could try to find Olympic-style barbell weights. They have a 2" bore so you could fit a sleeve

I have the SW120ED as well. very nice refractor! you'll have fun :) [email protected]> wrote: -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com

Thank you!!!? I assumed it was something I was overlooking.? LOVE THIS MOUNT!!!!? Can't wait to use it.? Unfortunately, the SW120ED I ordered won't be in for another few weeks.? G11 will just

Hi Russ just loosen your dec clutch and rotate until its signed it's designed that way so the telescope is moved out of the way while you're polar aligning [email protected]> wrote: --

Henk, I am with you, I am very unlikely to use Facebook. Paul

Yes! A flip mirror is an excellent way to keep a visual eyepiece alternative to the video camera. Great that you mention this approach. But some optical systems won't allow it. One of them is the

I use a Vixen flip mirror in the optical train of my refractor to visually confirm placement of what I'm locating to image. Perhaps that would ease the struggle? Jamey

Glen, Your problem is a common one. The image chip is quite small (regardless of the large number of pixels, the chips are still small....and therefore inexpensive). Even if the planet is centered

That's an approach, hard to argue with "it just works" :) but you'd really need to see the ascom logs to figure out what's going on. that "90 degree off on park" thing is a little curious, i haven't

APT is commanding the flip 1 min after the meridian. The Gemini’s limits are set 20 minutes after the meridian. I think the solution is a 12 pier extension and just shoot thru. -- Rick Paul Tucson,

Michael, Thanks for your reply. I have FireCapture installed. You mentioned hand-centering the planet before launching Autoguide in FireCapture. But that's been my problem. Doing a goto in Gemini to

Hi Rick my best guess is there's an issue either with APT or the script you are writing. You will need to dig up your ascom log for that session to know exactly what happened, but chances are it was

Hey everybody. Have not received any responses on my first two questions. -- Rick Paul Tucson, AZ

Hello Jim, I bought a set of Robin Cassidy, Stailess steel counterweights now made by BnD Astro. BnDAstro.com. Mike is a super guy to work with and prompt in shipping. HAPPY SKIES TO YOU AND KEEP

But Jim, it's not just a piece of iron my man, it's custom cast with LOSMANDY in it. That costs more. I remember seeing some Stainless Steel counter weights once. But they were way more. I think they

As an alternative, I bought a pair of 1-1/4 slip collars to utilize counterweights from my vintage Cave mount (1-1/2). Jamey

Is there another source for counter weights?? They use a 1.25" shaft diameter.? I don't want to pay $75 for an 11 pound piece of iron.
