Telrad Base Falls Off-Need Help!

Posted By Jay Emirzian

Judson,
I don't know if it will be usefull to your application. There is a company called GCS Astronomical that sells a replacement lainding pad for the telrad. The item is called a RadPad and they work rather well. You might want to look into it.

What's up with Astro-Physics?

Posted By Jay Emirzian

Clean up your mouth Jim......I deleted your post. There is no reason to talk like that toward another here on Astromart. You don’t know Roland’s business and have no right to make a comment such as you did.

Portable Power On The Cheap

Posted By Jay Emirzian

You could make your own.....Computer power supplies are cheap and you can get them in all power ratings. Then all you would need is a sealed battery and some connections. Build a box to hold it and your done.

will premo eyepieces last geologic timescales?

Posted By Jay Emirzian

Boy I'm glad the weather is clearing out up here....I haven't been able to observe in MONTHS. It's making me nuts.....I might just have to join this thread!!!

grin grin grin grin grin

In all honesty though, I remember Alan French finding some old Televue stuff packed away in an unlikely place. If I remember correctly he put one through the diswasher!

Which OIII Filter....

Posted By Jay Emirzian

Thanks for all your help everyone. I think I'm going to go for the Orion. It seems to be the best buy for the money. I would love to purchase the Astronomik, but the extra $75 is not in the budget right now.

Thanks for all your replies. I have seen a variable counter weight system for truss dobsonians. Do they still make it?
