    Just wondering what the best material is for dob bearings with ptfe pads. My bearings are painted with hammerite. But I know some use formica ? What do you use and any links. And what do you use to bond it.? Impact adhesive maybe. Thanks

    great report magnus m51 and m101 will blow your socks off in a 20" owl is great with and without a 0iii filter. some nice finds there mate i also use nexus with my 20"
  25. faulksy
    wow, what a first scope to buy. i had one hence buying a 20" orion mirror brilliant scope. as said above just remove the mirror cell with the mirror and use a blower. this would annoy me as well. look foward to your first light report
