Hypernova Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 If you decide the EQ6 isn't for you I'll buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaminovs Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Doubt I will , but ok Now I need to sell my rig and order from FLO GOTO upgrade for mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceboy Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 RESULT!!! Kaminovs. I would keep the 200p for on the mount and then knock up a rocker box for the 250p and use as a quick setup dob. Drop a GOTO kit in the EQ6 and away you go. Fair play to Earl for the heads up as that was a bargain to be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaminovs Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Nah, can't afford keeping both really. Will 250p will be firm enought on EQ6 for some imaging? or its only visual and too big og a wind bakcet for imaging? Or should I keep 200p for visual/imaging on eq6 and sell 250p ota? suggestions?And aye, Big thanks to Earl for pointing on this add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceboy Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 What ever you choose I would not get rid of your 200P until you have confirmed for yourself the 250P optics are in tip top condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaminovs Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Aye, will inspect new OTA, but I think it will be alright on optical side, and all other is repairable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaMike Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 What a steal !!!Fabulous result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaminovs Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Recieved my new scope today.Will soon start work on getting OTA back to shape. Optics are perfect. Tube is ... need attention. alot Need to figure out how to cover drilled holes all over OTA from previously installed additional equipment. Repainting is a must. Focuser is already ordered - 2 speed crayford from Revelation.Collimation was almost perfect, and its somehow much more smoother to collimate it comparing to 200p. EQ6 is a beast. I wasnt really prepared to see it is SO much bigger and robust than HEQ5.Some pictures incomming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceboy Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Looking good. Shame you didn't get it earlier in the year as it would have made a nice summer months project. Regards the holes a bit of P60 on the inside then fill (P45) and paint the outside. Cover the P60 on the inside with flock. Would look as good as new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaminovs Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Holes are about 7mm.. quite big ones, and with bended sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceboy Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Makes no difference. The P60 on the inside will strengthen and patch the hole with out being too unsightly and the P45 will fill the hole and ripples. Bit of wet and dry on the out side to sand flush or in this case round. Then primer and paint. Jobz a good un Flocking the inside of the OTA will have the advantage of helping to increase contrast while also hiding the P60 patches. OR there is always the trusty electrical tape over the holes. May look an unsightly mess but will not make the slightest difference in the performance, and it's not like your going to see it in the dark anyway.
