  1. My LongPerng 110mm f6 APO in carbon fiber on it's Celestron CI700 mount ,, awesome setup ! Beanerds.
  2. No problems here when using my 127mm f8 iStar and 1 1/4 wedge . Brian.
  3. Also my Long Perng 110mm f6 APO on my other duel axis driven ( DMD-3 ) Vixen Super Polaris mount , these are just the best small/mid weight mounts out there awesome Japaneese design and engineering . Once aligned south it tracks for hours without loosing the object , almost perfect . Brian.
  4. My R100L on its Super polaris mount , this is a very good telescope , the newer chinese 114mm Newt's on the to small EQ2's could learn a lot from this beautiful setup . Brian.
  5. OOPS !!! , busted ! . But no these are our ( wife and I ) bike gloves , here in OZ your hands tend to sweat a bit and need a hanging in the fresh ait after a long ride . Brian.
  6. My biggest , and smallet . And most in between , Refractorholic I think ...>? Brian.
  7. Looks to me like the main centre bearing keeper has come loose slightly inside . Just remove the plastic casings and you will get a better look , just be careful that all wires are either un-plugged or away from the cases as you remove them and same when reassembling , just take your time . I dont have one of these but a friend does and its very sturdy . Good luck , but I dont think it to major . Brian.

    Oh yes I forgot , the differance in lengths is for setting the latitude scale ( to your latitude ), try one and if there is lots of thread left then try the shorter 1 in the same hole , a little experimenting is needed . The differant lengths allow a wide range of latitudes to be reached normally 5 degrees to about 85 degrees . You will be in there somewhere unless you live on the equator or the poles . I live at 12 degrees south here in Darwin . Brian.

    Jonathan is right , I can see in the fully assembled photo the threaded hole where one of these go , above the hand controller in the center of the lower portion of the mount ( just above the 2 tripod legs where they join the mount ) screw 1 in that hole and the other goes 180 degrees around to the other side ( below the counter weights ) Nice set up . Brian.

    My newly aquired Takahashi Mewlon 210 on her Ioptron IEQ45 GOTO mount , these two are another good match , they also work very well together .

    The SKY90 and Vixen Super Polaris mount are a good match , they work well together .

    My 2 small Takahashi scopes , once you own one of these , no other scopes will do , trust me .
