Hello, I have an ED 80/600, and for quick grab-and-go use and use for an hour or so... I'm thinking about an AZ mount, with slow controls, how would it work with a Vixen Porta II? Has anyone used it? Thank you.

Hello, I have an 80ED refractor with 600mm focal length. I use a Baader 8-24mm Zoom with a 2.25x Baader barlow lens that gives me about 170x for planetary, lunar and star observation with good results, but I would like to be able to use some power... would it be possible with my telescope? Let's say around 225 or 250x..., if so, which eyepiece would you recommend? Thank you. Tico

Hello, I'm trying to mount an 80mm refractor on a Nexstar SE mount, the problem is that the eyepiece area of the refractor touches the base of the mount when it is directed to the zenith. What solution do you propose to solve this problem? They have told me about a wedge, but I don't want a solution like that... Thank you.

My telescope is for visual and the model is one refractor 80ED F/7.5. Thanks.

Hello, What mount is best for double Star? Is necessary a mount ecuatorial or with a AZ mount is enough? Thanks Tico

Hello, You think that thus Seestar50 can bé a good alternative for a visual telescope?

Hello, I have a SW ED80/600 refractor and I would like to know your opinion on what type of eyepieces would be good with this telescope. Thank you. Tico.

Visual.

Hello, I'am looking for a good AZ mount for my SW ED80/600 refractor, I like know Your comments or some opinión!! Thanks, Tico

The mount can support well the SW ED80/600 refractor? Thanks, Tico

maybe, can be a good zoom for the SW ED 80/600 ?

Actually, I have read in different places that in the case of double stars the refracting telescope is superior to the rest of the designs..., I don't know if you have been able to compare different telescopes in this sense and what your impression has been...

Then, is more the Focal lengh, the aperture, the kind of Lens, ED, APO... In case of refractor?

Thank you for All replies!! Sorry, I mean Maksutov-Cassegrain. Tico.

Hello, Perhaps a banal question, but can someone tell me if the 4" F/7 ED refractor could be a good generalist telescope, a bit of planetary, lunar, double and single DSO, Messier type? Does it usually take a long time to cool down? How do you see it to put it on top of an AZ mount? Thank you titic.

Hello, What difference exists between the visual image of a double star seen in a refractor and seen in a maksutov? Thank you Tico

I'm really looking for small and quality. I have little time, my sky is unstable by nature, I already have an SCT 8"... but I barely use it because the cooling time is what I have..., my back is terrible, I have three locations in my backyard from where I can observe a small part of the sky... that is... I have to move the telescope to three different places,..., what more can I say

Hello, I'm looking information on one good small refractor like the Takahashi. FS 60Q , for example. I like observing the Moon, planets, some Messier brilliant, also Terres trial vistas, and for my astro-passion, observing double Star. In your opinión how is this refractor for this purpose? What mount you use? And for eyepieces and magnificatión.. How is your arsenal? In the field of double star visual observing it've good contrast and sharp image?

Which is the diagonal star or the diagonal Prism that you use? I heard that the FS 60 have some problem for focus.. is true? Thank you very much. Best regards, Tico

It's in Amazon?

Wow!! A good sketching session, how is your mount with the refractor? Thanks.

Hello, Really, this model can be a good DSO binocular on a panoramic head and photo- tripod mount? Best than a 15x70 binocular? Thanks in advance!! Tico

Hi, In your opinión which is best for backyard astro? In AZ mount? For planets, Moon, Double Stars, and some brilliant Messier objects...? Thanks. Tico

Thanks all comments!! Some more modern!!
