Did it again (Cooled C-11)

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Keith, you have a great looking scope there!
Would you be so kind to explain the modifications you've done, and how do they improve/work on your scope? Are they based on particular designs that you've seen somewhere else, or did you come up with this idea?

Anyways, thanks for sharing, great application & beautifully implemented!


Clear dark cool skies! 8)

Can't rate trading partners

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Bruce, if you are set up as a dealer, I'm almost 100% sure you cannot get rated, and also cannot rate your trading partner...


Clear skies!

LX 200 12 eyepiece help

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Brad, on the low mags side, you have it right, the Panoptic 41mm or the 35mm will be fine. Good eyepieces...

On the higher mags, I would also consider the Meade 14mm UWA (not the 5000 series, but the original ones), the Nagler 12mm T4 is also very nice (you pointed that one out), the Pentax 10.5 XL, the Radians (not as wide FOV, but good enough)


I'm sure more people will chime in, as this is something that gets asked several times, and it's always fun to talk about...


Good luck, and clear skies! wink

LX200 Collimination

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Michael, was your scope temperature adjusted?
I would think this is due to "heat plumes" more than pinched optics, but I could be wrong...

Do you see that pattern all the time? even after your scope has cooled down for an hour of so?
