I'm a dob man, so when I think about working on this refractor my eye starts to twitch. I've aquired an older Meade 80mm f/15 refractor that was attached to a Meade 12.5 research grade equatorial. Here's what I need help on:
1) The images are doubled, so I'm guessing the doublet isn't lined up right. There are no scrathes to line them up, just a crummy mark made with a pencil across both doublets. Even when I line them up as close as possible I still get the double image.
2) This is a .965 scope, which I can't stand. I had used a 965/1 1/4 adapter, but have since given it away with another scope. Is there any drawtube assembly that I can purchase to replace the one in the picture, that way I can use the scope with my 1 1/4 eyepieces?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
