I have a C80ED, C100ED and a WO73II, I Also have a 130PDS, C6N and a C8N, but I do have 2 itches one for a 66mm refractor and a 120ED as well., the only thing what stops me is I can buy a reducer for my C100ED not to need the 120ED and doing away with two reflectors to house another refractor.

A Prinz 10x50 Binoculars.

Have you bought one johninderby?

FLO should provide a case with this. Its a nice finishing touch.

Very good results, those ED100 do punch above their weight.

That scope is nearly the size of that man. 😬

Would you be kind enough to ask Grant on my behalf could he also generate a 100% discount token linked to my FLO credentials. That would help me greatly. Thanks Grant in advance.

I have high hopes for svbony, their producing good gear for a fraction of the price. I have seen that 102ED as well and it don't seem that bad either.

There are many companies offering this type of scope, but none offer the same customer care as FLO do. Buy in confidence. I would have bought this if I did not have my Celestron C100ED already. I just need to buy the skywatcher reducer for imaging.

No problem.

Similar to what Es Reid uses.

Well it's nice a image anyway, its good to see what my ASI1600 is capable of using a different array of scopes.

Ask @peter shah

Its nice to see people still use ccd. Wonderful btw.

Really nice scope for imaging with the reducer which brings it down to f/5.6, does it come with a storage case ?

I made these feom my 3d printer and bought some M6 30mm bolts. Pm me your address, I make them and send some over, FOC of course if it helps.

There's some dust on the lens 😜

Thank you for this thread. You have helped me to make up my mind about my Atik 428EX Mono camera. I will keep it alongside my ASI 1600mm Pro. I was currently going to sell it. But seeing this thread reassures me CCD is not dead by any means. What I like about CCD, very little noise and longer subs without amp glow with good set point cooling, without taking darks. Thank you.

I agree, my secondary hardly goes out of alignment on my newtonians, however I can see the point of them on the primary mirror side as that is the side you would need to collimate more often if you don't have collimation knobs. I think Bob's Knobs are a good product, I believe they were initially made for schmidt owners instead of using Allen keys for collimation, a much better solution, the last thing you want is to scratch your corrector plate in the dark with an Allen key.😪

There's nothing wrong in experimenting with dso imaging with an achromatic. You'll find if your narrowbanding you can even get away with using an achromatic rather then a apochromatic scope. Why not just learn how to image on your current scopes, then later on buy something better?

Your fitting is correct. Done the same with my WO73II.

I got one of those phones 😁

One of the most fundamental requirements are you are using TPM 2.0 for your pc to qualify.

Nice processing, when zoomed in the brighter star shapes look triangle.

Try Es Reid. Or Scope Doctor.
