Today I attacked my scope!

After the arrival at the weekend of the adaptor, (many thanks to Arthur :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:)

I decided that a straight through refractor was not a good idea. So I got the saw out and chopped a lump of the end, exact measurements :? :? what are they. Well tonight, and I don't want to shout to loud but there is abig hole in the clouds. So I am of out to see if I got it right, report back later.

:sunny: :lol:

:cheers: :bounce: :cheers: I got it right, well almost, requires about another centimeter off to focus all my ep's. Also waiting on tube rings, hopefully here this week.

Wow, talk about brave man and bold! Glad it worked for you.

I had nothing to lose, it's an old refractor, picked up in local paper a while ago, and the tube would be replaceable at fairly low cost. I was just trying to obtain a cheap planetry scope. I will report back when I have sorted the mount. The brief view I got of saturn was pretty good at 100X . the objective is 32" and 39" fl. I will see if its better than the Skywatcher brigade.
