Sky Commander Vs. Argo Navis Setting Circles

Posted By Jeffrey Kramer

Hi again,

I also own a Televue NP101 and a GM8 mount. I am planning on purchasing a 14" Tscope Truss Tube Dob I would like to use the Digital Setting Circles with both of my scopes.

Can I also use them with the Losmandy GM8 mount as well as the Tscope DOB? What hook ups will I need?

Is one of the brands better than the other for this purpose?

Thanks for your help,
jeff

TBM CNC 115

Hi,

Why did you buy the TMB115 and not the NP101? Was it the additional 14MM?

Just curious,

Deciding on a First Scope

Posted By Jeffrey Kramer

Hi,

I own an 8" SCT, a 4" APO refractor, and a 6" achromat refractor. I would say the best all around scope is the 8" SCT. It is very close to the refractors when viewing the planets and is much better on deep sky objects. It also tracks nicely which is crucial for planetary viewing and photgraphy, although I am strictly a visual observer.

Well, just my 2 cents!

What really bothers me about this situation is that you mention that "he makes special rush projects for others while you are left waiting". I would try and get my money back before it is to late.

Good luck,

Help me to justify 4"

I have owned both 4" achros and an 8" SCT. The 8" SCT was significantly better on all obejcts including planets. Just make sure that your 8" SCT is collimated properly.
