  1. I had an 1/10th wave OO VX8L mounted on an EQ mount, it did not blow me away visually compared to the 8” Skywatcher Newt that I had. It was lighter and a little better optically but MUCH more expensive. But both scopes got to some awkward viewing positions and the tripod legs got in the way a lot. I found my back started complaining after a while so sold them. Now all my scopes have the eyepiece at the back and I sit to view - much more relaxing and my back thanks me for it. But Newts do give the best performance to cost ratio.
  2. Is the crown at the front of the scope, facing incoming light ?
  3. @wookie1965 Just for clarity here is a diagram of how the lens arrangement should be, with the crown facing the stars…..
  4. Correct, β€œyou cannot make a silk purse out of a sows ear” 🀣
  5. I had a good C6, an excellent C8 and a terrible C9.25. In my opinion SCT optical quality varies. For the same price as a C9.25 you can buy a Takahashi 180mm Mewlon with 1/20th wave optics which seem to get consistent praise πŸ™‚
  6. Sounds like you may have bought a fancy brass scope toDAY ? πŸ™‚
  7. I have everything crossed πŸ™‚πŸ€ž
  8. I would suggest as your configuration is not working that you just flip the thin top lens over so that both arrows point in the same direction and give that a try to see if you get improvement.
  9. Did it work OK when you first received it ?
