Hi all.
a quick question, and just to clarify what’s happening in my head.
had a quick chance to observe the moon this morning, 1st time in a few weeks due to work etc.
all set up 80mm WO refractor, eyepiece in the focus tube. Nothing, wouldn’t focus at all. Thinking it worked last time I used it.
so dragged out my reflector scope, popped the eye piece, focused without a problem.
it’s only now I remembered I had the 90 degree dielectric in last time.
this brings me to the decision that abviously my scope is not designed to have an eye piece directly in the 1.25” on the focuser without an extension piece?
is this normal for a telescope with 80mm of travel on the focuser.
going to see what happens with my dslr camera attached directly or maybe this will need an extension tube also.
just don’t fancy it sliding out and hitting the floor.
many thanks
andy
