I finally tried this de-focus thing , and yep ,it worketh . But I still got me cheap-ish illuminated double cross-hair 12mm Plossl . Belt an' braces an' all that.........for when the batteries in me eyes go flat !

Bah! Blasted Android tab......half the typed letters go missing , some go awry some other way! Tech ,eh? Or maybe the beer . The defocus technique  works when the obj is vivible , and it can be defocussed to just about fill the field of the e.p. Just concerned that my interpretation of being centered may be a bit off ,hence the cross-hair thing would ( ought to ) be absolute . Ish. Anyhoo , if the damn rain and gales leave me alone , I'm off to try again . It's not a deal-breaker , by any means , I'm still loving getting a face full o' universe, 's just that I value convenience a great deal . Read.......I'm just damn "Bone " !!!!!!!  Easier is better , no ?And now I have a new project , too . Making some upgraded bolts for the alt adj on my eq6, at ess than half the cost of those you can buy. Cheap? Me? Never. Not often anyway . And a levelling base for me big Dob. And to think I hated woodwork at school ,on the odd occasions I was there .

Mods......

Can we get an "edit" button on here somehow , I hate to commit my spelling gaffes to eternity !

yeah?ellI'try that defocus technique, and give it fair go. If that don't work,then the TAL one will get a go.Than for the help with this,folks.

Is there such a things an attachment to screw into the bottom of an inch and a quarter eyepiece with cross hairs? I find that even if the finder and the 30 mm two inch eyepiece are in agreement,when I put more"mag" in that the target is still not visible,leading me to conclude the finder is not aligned accurately enough. Such a widget may help me to achieve better accuracy.Anyone know of anything like this?
