Skyline

After acquiring my WO73II from a fellow SGLer, I thought I design and 3D print a few risers. It's always been a problem with WO scopes with weight balance as the focuser locking bolt intrudes the dovetail from being pushed further back.

This leaves some clearance now for me to use the locking bolt and balance the scope better.

Hi and welcome,  I would not say that,  there's a few of us. It's a choice do we get time to mix.

Very nice. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Any other new StellaMira  scopes coming?  Say a 100mm doublet. 🤔

Why not buy a SW100ED or if you can find one a C100ED?

Very nice Steve. Look forward to your future line up.

On the OVL flattener try using a 58mm back spacing.

That rotator is made to fit the 0.85x reducer. I think it has a M68 thread size.

It's a wonderful scope, the mirrors 1st class of that era when Meade were making high quality mirrors. It's definitely a keeper just like my old Meade LX10 was.

I can say the same.

I can't imagine you driving a Mazda Steve.

I want a picture of the lambo 😝

I quite like the shadows of the clips in my 130pds

Or buy a refractor.

Thank you, it sounds good.

Can the 5V version be controlled by any USB 2.0 socket or does it have to be with a ASIAIR ?

Hi,

Could someone tell me if there are multiple versions or revisions of the ZWO EAF and what the differences are please. I am looking to buy one to automate my setup.

Thanks.

I take it you can't wait to next week, so I can order and have some equipment dispatched for the weekend ? 😂

Tak have made quite nice newts 

Looks like a MT Series, possibly a 6", wouldn't mind having one of those.

How long have you been using that RisingCam IMX571 and what do you think about it compared to say the likes of zwo?

I love it, I am thinking how this camera would be suited with my SW ED72?

This evening, I have used for the first time the Bathinov 3D mask (model found on this post)

Images are attached, I am happy, it is better than old one I have got. 

Many thanks to the person who have made this 3D model & the person who share it on this post.

 

 

Your welcome.

I was observing the CD with my C6N and a Orthoscopic 9.7mm, it looked quite pleasing to the eye may I say.

Grumpy the Telescope Magician ! 🤣

Very pleasing views from my Celestron C100ED coupled with an old Celestron Ultima Barlow

A Monorail focuser comes to mind.

You need one of these adaptors then you can fit any focuser with an 86mm flange.

The C80ED focuser scews on to the tube hence the need for an adaptor. As far as I know there are no focusers that will fit straight onto the tube.

Moonlite do a flange version for the C80ED, but its a poor fit. You would have to cut around 7mm off the end of the tube so no exposed threads are seen.
