  1. I do love imaging and I know a faster refractor is better for this but I wasn't looking to upgrade the ota just yet. However I saw this deal and thought I could get a bigger aperture and an eq mount at a "good" price.
  2. I currently have a Celestron 8se Orange OTA with the fork arm mount that comes with it. I have been wanting to upgrade to an EQ mount. I found i guy who has a Meade LX 50 EDC 10" sct with a Celestron CGEM DX mount and tripod. Are there any issues with this Meade scope and Celestron mount that I should be concerned about? Do u think I would be better off with this set up than I am with my 8SE? Oh and I understand it is like a Ford vs Chevy debate, however is the Meade scope superior to the Celestron 8 se?
  3. I have the ota as far forward as it will go.
  4. Howdy. I have a Celestron 8se and installed a 2" diagonal. If I get close to Zenith the diagonal will hit the base. I am thinking about purchasing an eq wedge. Will the wedge change the position of the ota enough to clear the base? I would greatly appreciate your help before I purchase the wedge. Thanks all
  5. I know, you are probably getting tired of all these "new guy" questions, but here we go. I just received a Celestron 8se which is an sct with a FL of 2000 mm. It came with the standard Celestron star diagonal and a Celestron 25mm plossl. We have only had a couple "clear" nights since I received it and I am anxious to start seeing new things. Imaging is way down the road for me, so not intrested in that right now. I want to be able to view the moon and the planets. I did order a Celestron variable polarizing filter also. What would be some good eyepieces for this type of viewing. BTW, been looking at a Meade 8.8 uwa but idk if this would help me for what I am wanting to do. Thank you so much for your attention and time to help out.
