Collimation: Secondary placement/travel
Boki Aristarh replied to Raglan's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Dear Raglan, I had similar problem with TAL-150P reflector. It was problem with spider wines which was mounted 180 degrees contrary relative to secondary cage. Probably someone removed wanes and mounted again wrong (maybe even in factory). First off all try to retract 3 collimation screw maximum inside, and then move back central screw until you have contact between secondary and spider holder. After that check if secondary is enough "to the right side". Note that you have to look only at "silvered" part of mirror, not complete secondary mirror. If there is not enough space, than you can see if there any possibility to change focuser position left to right on telescope tube (some telescopes have this option). And on the end check if maybe spider wanes are mounted wrong (it would be useful to take pictures of wanes also). Some of those 3 reasons must be at the root of your problem. Anyway, be patient and you will solve this minor problem. -
What equipment got you into astronomy?
Boki Aristarh replied to refractor2345's topic in Discussions - Scopes / Whole setups
My first "serious" scope was Copitar small refractor 50/300 mm, made in Japan. It was so long ago, 25 years or so... Lot of nights with it, watching Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Moon, Sun, brighter M, doubles.... In mean time telescope was lost, used as parts donator.... And as a strike of luck and fortune and find same one scope on some bargain sale, and of course I bought it... Now it is mine FOREVER! -
Show us your LZOS Scope

Rupert Astrograph is perfect! Maybe not important, but I like very much tube color and gray/black/orange combo... -
NEW Starfield 102mm f/7 ED Doublet Refractor
Boki Aristarh replied to FLO's topic in Sponsor Announcements and Offers
I have TAL-100R for visual work, but would be very nice to have one Starfield for photo use.... 😍 -
I live in 200.000 people town so if I want to have some serious observing's I must go somewhere. For most of our observing and photographing activities our society made permanent observatory 20 miles from city. If we need some extreme deep sky observations there are few very good places in Serbia (advantage in living in country not so industry developed) 😃

I don't know "whatsaurus" is that, but picture is impressive!

Optical wonder make wonders... Just be sure there is no other sharp particles on surface, blow it from lens and make no sufficient pressure during cleaning.

If somebody have one piece spare, it would be interesting to compare with our society Meade 178ED... 😊 😘
