Why is there no "eyepieces" forum showing?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Darren, it could be hidden...
While you are looking at the list of Forums, click on the link on top-right that says "Display All Forums"... see if you can see it after that... wink

My Binocular Chair

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

That's some nice design gentlemen, well done!
(Indeed Eugene, I see the need of some sort of cushions... after all, we want to be comfortable while viewing for extended periods of time...) wink

Again, congrats on a nice chair design & execution!

Welcome to The Forum Duncan!
My first scope was an Orion 6" SVD EQ reflector, mounted on their GOLD version of an EQ-3... loved it! wink

Where are your DSO's taken

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

I'm considering going Ha for suburban imaging... light pollution is heavy here and gets in the way most of the time...

When I go out to The Everglades that's a totally different story... sweet dark skies! wink

When do I need to weight balance my Scope

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Alex, do you use any dew shield?
I particularly use my aluminum dew shield, which counteracts the heavy tail, and levels the scope... wink
