Hi! This is my second post. I got so much great help in my first post so thank you all I as you know own a skymax 180 on heq5 pro and i have a ZWO asi 120mc camera. I use it only for Lunar and plantary. I currently have 2 barlows: Celestron 2x and 3x. I feel 3x is too much but on some nights it seems fine. So my question is this: I want to buy a TeleVue powermate and i cant decide on 2x 2.4x 3x 4x or 5x 😛 I really have no clue.. Can someone please help me.. I dont eaven know how much power i can expect from this scope. i have only tried it on the moon but i want the electric focuser and the right televue set up for the oppositions this comming summer. So please help me guys:) Added some images from tonights lunar session. DSO_204925_lapl6_ap193.tif DSO_211245_lapl6_ap38.tif

I think I will give this a go! Looks fairly easy now that I had some time to look at it. But do you think there is a way to use the skywatcher part you use for the focuser I found on eBay? Maby if I make a bracket and mount where you mounter the motor and turn the motor 90° and mount it at the end of the bracket and a belt down to the new.ebay focuser? Have you seen anyone try that?

Real nice! So all you did was Skywatcher auto focuser and a belt? Did you replace Any parts on the skywatcher auto focuser? It looks like it. Do you also have a SCT focuser on it? Did it work well? Looks real nice!

Where do you buy it?

Hmm. I'm at work so I don't have much time right now, maby I overlooked something. But the parts you used was the one you just linked to and what.other parts? Can you give me a list and where you bought it

Nice stuff! where did you buy the motorized focuser? I browsed around some more and found this: https://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/product_info.php/language/en/info/p5218_TS-Optics-focus-motor-for-TS-Optics-UNCN2-Focuser-and-Baader-Steeltrack.html what do you think of this?

Hi! I'm new here so this is my first post. My name is Christian and I live in Norway. I own a Sky-max 180 MAK with a Heq5 Pro mount and a ZWO Asi 120MC-S. I use it for Lunar and planets only. I have previously owned a Skywatcher 200pds reflector. I have gotten a few ok shots of the moon but I struggle with the focusing. I can rember it was so hard on the 200pds. So I have started the search for a focuser but I find that the price is just too stiff for an electric focuser, so I now browse through manual focusers now. I came across this one on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-1-10-Dual-Speed-Focuser-with-Base-Adapter-for-Refractor-Type-Telescope/184019328985?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item2ad8681fd9:g:2zEAAOSwPsBdvTtX https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-inch-1-10-Dual-Speed-Manual-Helical-Focuser-for-Reflector-Type-Telescope/133033705672?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20190917065201%26meid%3Dacc1de0a8dd445a2ab54be937b56f4dd%26pid%3D100935%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dco%26sd%3D233266291873%26itm%3D133033705672%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2332490&_trksid=p2332490.c100935.m2460 Do you guys know if it is any good? Or will it fit straight on the sky-max 180. I read in here some where that the threads on newer sky-max 180s have standard SCT threads. And last, is it worth it? Will it help a lot for achieving focus? I might also add that I know about the long cool down time for my scope so I have that on mind. I als wondered if it is even doable to make air vents in the sky-max 180? Looking forward to your answers guys, I have read al ot in here since I started my journey about a year ago and I know how much knowledge you guys have!
