beamer3.6m Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 How do you get to the eyepiece and surely nudging it will be a problem whilst up a 35 foot ladder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Drew Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'm pretty sure that the 29" secondary is a flat. If so, then this would reflect the primary image down to the more accessible viewing unit externally further down the tube. I rather like the "flight of ducks" small finders arrangement at the primary end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
