New scource for tubesPosted By Randolph j Torres |
You say you've got a few lenses laying around and you don't want to use plastic tubing and aluminum tubing in the sizes you need are just to hard to come by. Is that whats troubling you, Bunkie? Well just march yourself to nearest truck parts store. (large trucks) They have exhuast pipe in 3, 4, 5, and 6" diameters up to 10' long. Show the world, never give up! 
Seriosly, guys I did just that on a "why not I just might get lucky " and came away with 4" and 6" pipes. They need cleaning but they are round, straight and strong

Hey guys. I Have a Meade lx50 I'd like to set up for dsc operation. Are there any alternatives to Meades' Magellan system? Can it be converted to an lx200? Thanks, Randy

EZ Focus kitPosted By Randolph j Torres |
Hey you guys! I went to NEAF today and bought an EZ focus kit from Peterson Engineering ( great guy by the way ) for my meade 10" lx50. Wow what a great product. It used to take almost a third of a turn with the focus knob when changing directions to see any diference at the eyepiece. What a pain when critically focusing. Now not only is the focus smooth it is dead on when moving the moving the knob back and forth. A well spent $30.00. Randy

10" f10 and 6.3 interchangabilityPosted By Randolph j Torres |
I recently aquired an 10" f6.3 ucht scope minus a corrector plate. I have an emc 10" f10. Both optical tubes are the same length. Which leads me to believe that the difference between the f10 and the f6.3 is in the secondary mirrors. Sooo, can I move the f10 emc secondary and corrector plate to the other ota and make an f10 ucht out of it?

Coronado pst 0.5Posted By Randolph j Torres |
I saw an add for the new pst 0.5 scope. It looks just like the old 1.0 pst. How can you tell the difference without taking it apart?

Hey Scott. Have you looked at the outer end of a hacksaw? The part you need minus the hole is there. Good luck, Randy
