Help Servicing A C8

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Michael, WD40 is a NO NO...
Most people find "white lithium grease" to work fine with their scopes/mounts... you can find it at most hardware stores... and also I've heard some other people using "marine grease" that you can find at Walmart stores...

Others will chime in with their opinions, I'm sure...
Whatever you use, make sure it is NOT something that can run easily & affect other areas...

Remember to clean good the area from the old lubricant before you put in the new one...


My .02 cents... hope they help...


Clear skies! wink

Lubricating An Orion Focuser

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Rob, if these are the rack & pinion style focusers (most likely) a lil' bit of white lithium grease (Lowe's - Home Depot - Ace) should be fine... wink
Make sure you clean it good before you apply the new grease...

Clear skies!

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Let's hope there's still hope for Hubble... it is such a great piece of equipment, and has given us so much knowledge...
