Losmandy Mount Grease!Posted By Joe McBride |
How does White Lithium grease work in the cold- say 20 F. I used some on my garage door once and it stoped lifting until it got warmer out. Would it make my mount move hard in the cold?

I just got done using it, and in a bit I will be ready to use it again.

Losmandy Mount Grease!Posted By Joe McBride |
Thanks for all the responces. I got my mount put back together after cleaning and regreasing, and it is smooth as butter. Balance is once again very touchy, the clutches grab firmly and just knowing that fresh grease is in there instead of that brown waxey crap is enough to put my mind at ease.

Eyepieces
Meade RGO'sPosted By Joe McBride |
Hi James, The Meade RG orthos you talk of came in 4, 7, 10.5, 16.8 & 28mm f.l's. They all are very nice eyepieces to look through,though the 4mm has a very small lens and very short e.r. The 7mm I think was the most popular of the full set. Every now and then other f.l.s show up for sale. I read somewhere on SAA a year or so ago that the glass in these are suppose to be pretty good, so they get a pretty high price on the used market. ($70-$100) The 7, 10.5, & 16.8 are the easiest to look through... I don't wear glasses. The 28 gives me blackouts in the daytime but does better at night and might work with someone who does wears glasses. The 4mm is really tight but gives excellent views.
My 2 cents.

Hi Ron, I like how you captured the colors of each of the stars. Is that a galaxy at about 7 o-clock in the cluster.

Big PelicanPosted By Joe McBride |
The eye of the pelican has a face design. I cropped a close up of it. Look at the original that Andrew posted and see if you can see it. SPOOKY!!

Astromart ForSale QuestionPosted By Joe McBride |
Hi Jon, Why don't you just buy the Coulter and sell it yourself. Better yet sell the Discovery and keep the Coulter. Some of the early Coulters had excellent mirrors. Our club has an excellent 17.5 (blue tube)which we bought new in 1982 or so and just rebuilt it a couple of years ago. The mirror was tested by John Hall and he said it was one of the best he had seen from Coulter. Just my 2 cents.

nikon 4300/SaturnPosted By Joe McBride |
Hi John, I have the 4500 and the way I focus it is I zoom in all the way to the maxium digital zoom and then I focus from there. The image is blocky but you can tell where the best focus is, then zoom out to where you want to compose the photo. It works for me.
