Messier Objects' Catalogue
wookie1965 replied to Ravi Hegde's topic in Getting Started With Observing
https://sherwood-observatory.org.uk/astronomy/finder-charts/messier-finders These are Telrad finder charts but I think they could do. -
I wish lynx astro did one of these perhaps I could get I right hand fitment that would help.
-
I have bought a lynx astro cable so no cheap cables. I have watched a video about replacing the connector like for like but it is to much for my skills. I have a proper soldering station so I can turn the temperature down but I don't think I could do it. Maybe I could send it to someone with far more skills than me. I know people have done it on a HEQ5 replaced with a screw on connector. Something like this.
-
Does anyone know of a thread or fix for the power supply for this mount, the connection has started to droop so I have had to put a elastic band under it to keep it in place. Ideally I would like to replace with a screw type connection.
-
I have a eq6 tripod with adapter for my EQ5 goto overkill maybe but it's steady as a rock.
-
I will let you know how it is but by all the reviews supposed to be great.

No between the 30th of May and the 5th of June Ian already got flicking material but I don't think there is enough two 1 metre by 45" just going to do the best I can. -

My first scope was a 150p on a eq3-2 mount had it for 3 years had so much fun with it I upgraded to a 200p on a EQ5 goto. I sold the 200p and I so regret it, I have a couple of refractors now and a 10" dob. -

Tal 100rs, Herschel Wedge, Galaxy S10, continuum filter. Various eyepieces 25mm, 15mm BST`s 11mm Televue plossl, 10mm Vixen silver top and a 12.5mm university ortho.
-
I use one of these that powers two dew bands for my 4" refractors for two 4hr sessions before needing to charge. I attach it to the centre of the scope and wind the cables around so nothing gets snagged.
