I get the same thing on my Opticstar AR90S. The fine adjustment won’t work very well with certain EP’s in the scope, and past certain altitudes when viewing. I then normally have to use the course adjustment to wind the focuser back in again. I tried smoothing off the drawtube to give it a flatter surface to see itf that cured it, and messing around with various thin tabs inside the focuser to bring it tighter onto the draw tube. Never worked well, so now just live with it.

Just did th conversion from Japanese Yen to British pound and it comes out at £35. Seems way under priced for such a size and FOV. Maybe this is a Japanese April fools!

Getting the pop corn out now!

Excellent scope. I had one, but sold it a few months back. Miss it really, but hey ho!

I did also put an extra saddle on the other end of the T bar axle, which makes it much easier to balance any scope, so if you plan on using to scopes on the mount then this might be a mod for the future too. Just requires a couple of tapped holes putting on the end cover and it works a treat. I bought a cheat tap and die set for £3 on sale in B&Q just to do the mod, so apart from the cost of the saddle to put on (£40 or so I think) it was cheap to do. I did also change the tripod on the mount for a Berlebach tripod, but the original one was sturdy anyway. As Fozzie says putting an extension on the original mount works well too. Here’s a couple of images of my Skytee 2mount, with the two ‘fracs I normally put on it.

I had two long frac’s on my Skytee 2 Mount with no problem, even in breezy conditions. Had a long Starwave f11, and and Celestron Omni 120mm f8.3 with no problem. The Sabre looks good, but lacks slow motion control, so push and go only. With the Skytee you have the option to do both, so slow mo control, or push to if you disengage the clutches if you balance the scope(s) correctly. However, you do need to upgrade the standard saddles on the Skytee to ADM ones or similar for more secure fitting of scopes, especially any long or heavy scopes.

Yes, it’s a great book. Hope you enjoy it. Fast service from Amazon too despite the weather!

Good thinking that man!

The way I see it it is as below, which is near as damn close to your original orange circle you highlighted.

As per below Stu for title and basin;

Yep! In my book it is labelled as L68 Flamsteed Ring in square H2 below;

Good thinking Stu. I’ve not done the Lunar 100 either, but seriously mean to do so in a more concerted effort. Some will prove quite fiendish to see. For instance, in my book 21st Centurt Atlas of the Moon, on the section near Clavius, lunar no;94 is a crater right on the rim of the edge of the moon called Drygalsky (see 1st image below). After I took an image last night of that area I tried to see if I could see it, but due to the libration of the moon is was well out of sight as can be seen in my image from last night too (2nd image below).
