  1. Tripod Adapter arrived in post Yesterday For my ioptron tri pier part 1 of my new Mount Part 2 Arriving today
  2. You will love it 10 inches brings so many things close
  3. It’s a David Luckhurst made custom Dob lightweight model 14” Oldham optics mirror
  4. My 14 inch is kept in conservatory ready for action
  5. My Two I had but sadly sold to fund other goodies uni 28 and uni 18
  6. Buy one with a sips Paracorr for a Dob around £1200 now with tax and import
  7. Very scary John I seem to remember it may have been you I brought a Baader steel track from a while back
  8. There are lots of options to take it’s really down to how much needs adding and how much you want to spend I know many who use the Moonlite on the HD for imaging as I do for the Badder and feather touch the guy I got my C14 from imaged with it using a Pegasus for remote focuser no choice is wrong it’s what suits you best
  9. Also things to remember with the Moonlite you get the short knobs so the focuser doesn’t foul on them when turning etc that’s why it’s a bit more expensive
  10. You would need to use the info John gave link to and work what you need and you need to work out your distance etc you don’t get a lot of focus travel using the SCT version Focusers as really they are for fine tuning you use the normal focuser for rough focus and fine tune with the SCT at back
  11. Top man. You got any experience with the Baader by any chance mate? The Baader is excellent and so is the motor focus you would need few adapters but if you want straight out of the box it’s Moonlite is the way as your flatter screws into the focuser it’s self also it looks cool on an Edge here is one I had on a C14 Edge
  12. For imaging I’d go for either the Moonlite or the Baader the revaluation is ok for visual I’ve owned all three
  13. Unless it was on an offer you get loads of extras with it above the standard one it’s a quality focuser still cheaper than a feather touch the next best is the Baader steel track there really nice
  14. The CHL focuser has been £550 for some time the CL is about £130 cheaper
  15. Did look amazing tonight wish I had more time but had to pack up as work in morning
  16. I had the full set of Hyperions didn’t get on with them views seemed a little soft so sold them on
  17. Out with the 14” Dob tonight Venus looks nice and clear through a 17.4 Delos some nice detail on then moon through 13mm Ethos and also found Comet Atlas up near the giraffe
  18. I have the Geoptiks one and it’s great build quality and very easy to adjust
  19. Thought with your 2-3k budget the 120 and a mount would be in reach
  20. What’s wrong with the Esprit 120 not much of uplift going from an 80 to 102
