polar scope help
Frank the Troll replied to Neil H's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
It will be the same routine for your EQ3 -
From someone old school from my days as a serious 35m photographer, I can vouch for old lenses, and wouldnt hesitate in buying old lenses. old soligors are worth looking into as well

Opps, just hit the button, expect some clouds shortly

FF/FR can wait a little bit. Cheers for your input

Ok, think I will settle for an ED 80 to start , so thanks all for your input This one will let me look around for a PDS at a later stage https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TS-Optics-PHOTOLINE-Apo-Refractor-telescope-80-560-2-25-TSAPO80f7/372887345279?hash=item56d1d1587f:g:3u4AAOSw~XFeAHki

200mm PDS I have a few unexpected pennies

Im undecided on wether to go for an ED 80/100 or PDS not too bother for visual as I have a 10" dob which I will be mounting on an EQ6 Thoughts please
-
Im currently doing that with my 10" mounting it on the EQ6. with the base, I cant cope with lugging it about anymore
-
Is it possible to polar align with sharpcap and an 80mm f5 scope, or do you really need a 9x50 finder Cheers
-
A bigger scope wont mean you will see thing alot bigger, what you will see, is more detail

Oh dear, he's clearly fallen off the edge, and doesnt know how to get back on Im curious, as to how he would explain the phases of the moon

Synscan + Luminos on one iOS device

Already have Skysafari 6+ & syncanit, not keen on spending another £30 on another program -
I will have to check that out, not put a camera to it yet, I used a pre-drill tube from Orion, so thouhgt it would be different from a SW 10" PDS Mirror is an F4.7 Its being wasted so have decided to mount it on the EQ6
-
Hi steve, not sure that would help, ideally I need someone to measure the 10" PDS to find the difference too mine Cheers Frank
