  1. That's taking the mick. Certainly wouldn't accept anything like that. Glen.
  2. The voltage is okay Gina. It just had a euro plug. Bought a adapter yesterday and it charged just fine. Glen.
  3. Yeah, got my AZ Pro this afternoon, thank you. Glen.
  4. No, not pointless. I see colour in lots of doubles. Albireo is especially beautiful. Glen.
  5. Everything looks pretty good now I've unpacked it. Can't charge it though from the two pin mains charger that came with it. I assume I need a adapter. Glen.
  6. The ioptron AZ Pro just arrived. Not impressed with the lumps and bumps on the boxes. Sometimes delivery people just don't care. The posty just kept grumbling about the weight. Whinger!
  7. I believe I may need these when my Ioptron AZ Pro mount arrives this afternoon.
  8. You did say that the nuts were captive??? Are they captive on the mirror cell? Glen.
  9. Can't you just remove the screws to remove the mirror cell complete with mirror? Glen.
  10. Are the nuts captive? (fastened on the inside). Sounds like a Newtonian. John is right the centre spot does need to be as near perfect as possible. Glen.
  11. Spray the cleaning cloth not the eyepiece. You don't want fluid in the eyepiece. Good purchase for sure. Glen.
  12. Do you really need to remove the mirror to centre dot it? What kind of scope do you have? Are the nuts captive? Glen.
  13. The trouble these days seems to be finding a little jobbing shop that would do the machining for you. Could also turn out pricey. I used to buy my aluminium tube for aluminium warehouse. Glen.
  14. Now that's what our hobby is all about. Glen.
  15. I know that you're looking for a refractor, Chris, but I would go with the Skywatcher Heritage 130 Dob. A fantastic little scope with enough aperture to show lots of stuff. It's not heavy and I think within your budget. My humble opinion of course. Glen.
  16. If someone owns one of these could they please measure the optical path length of this diagonal. I am looking for a 11/4" diagonal with the longest path length. Long story. Thank you, Glen.
  17. Baader Wonder Fluid and microfibre cloth is what I use. Fiddly sometimes, but works a treat. Glen.
  18. Yeah, can't control it through APT either. Glen.
  19. Looking forward to see if this works out for you. Not much about for the M5. Glen.
  20. My Borg 77ED II fitted with my new Hutech R&P focuser. Buttery smooth for sure, even carrying all the back end weight.
  21. My new Hutech R&P focuser for my Borg 77 ED II. This is much better than the standard helical focuser that came as standard. The helical focuser gave up the ghost many weeks ago. Thanks FLO. Special thanks to Grant for sorting this out for me. Not forgetting Lisa for getting it to me. Glen.
