  1. Hi Everyone 

    So sorry if this is in the wrong place please move if needed.

    I have the old Celestron 80ed with GSO 2" Focuser  and the Starfield 2" Herschel Solar Wedge what would be a good Camera to use with it and is there anything else i might need.

    Many Thanks

    Darren

  2. Hi Everyone

    I'm now a happy owner of the 125mm club. No.0043

    But i've lost myself with all the numbers I have the sm125 and the 2" 0.8x Reducer/Flattener the Starlight xpress  filter wheel and the old sx-825 (black camera). I'm hoping this will work ok.

    Dave at Flo said i need 55mm spacing if any one could tell me where does the 55mm start and finish.

    Many Thanks

    If it's any help i went to a local Steel Fabricator who had a Laser CNC he cut 2 x 10mm and 2 x 12mm out of spare plate cost me £30.

    I just done a rough drawing with the sizes.

    Sorry about the big Picture.

  4. Evri parcel late I'm not really having a go at anyone but Royal Mail used to stand for something now they just deliver Junk mail (Pizza anyone)

    Sometimes it's not the Parcel Company's Fault some address are a nightmare to find (no house signs or number etc)

    Anyway Half of RM staff round here say they would rather work because the days there on strike they don't get payed.

    Everyone in the world work like better wages if your not happy try another job.

    At least the NHS have called of for a while

    After all that FLO has always been great at sending goods never a problem.

     

  5. Yes but you need to set the camera to CVI mode put power to the camera then hold the joystick to the correct mode.

    You have to hold it left or right or up or down for at least 5 seconds try one if that won't work try another then you'll see the picture come up.

  6. Hi Just a Little moan about old and new scopes ETC.

    My Wife brought me a Starsense to go with my old Celestron Advanced CG-5 GT Mount and 80ED Scope.

    Then i payed out for the Cable. All excited to fit the lot together only to find it won't fit the good old 80ED.

    So Back to FLO (Not there fault i'm not blaming them there really great) Do you sell a finder holder to fit the scope.

    No Sorry But you could buy a finder shoe base and double side to the scope. A

    So i the mean time I'm also talking to Celestron who say if it falls of it's not covered and warranty Hahaha.

    But the Manager said

    "That he used to own this exact scope and he used a metal file on the finderscope based to make it accept the standard size.

    If you would prefer not to do this, then you will need a side-by-side plate and a dovetail base like the Orion 7214 or 7215."
     
    I also asked why the Handset won't fit in the Holder and why they never stuck a new one with the Handset. No Answer to that.
     
    Moan over
    Cheers Seme
