Hi, hopefully somebody has some good experience answers. The simple question is ... what do you use for a good chair or stool to use a sct that does provide some awkward viewing and focusing positions. Yes, I have seen the ones advertised in my monthly publications.
Thanks Brian

35mm cameras - any demand ?

Posted By Brian Pope

Hi,
Hey u know there was a time, very short time ago, that these cameras were in demand...pentak k1000, olympus om1 and such for astrophotography. Seems to me it is almost non existent now.
I think its cause everybody seems to be trying to do digital steady pics instead. any input ? Any body wanting these cameras ?

Fix it ? SCT

Posted By Brian Pope

Hi all,
Just bought a used sct on astromart.Meade 12"lx200. The declination when locked still has about half to three quarter inch slop. Everything works okay, but, the slop obviosly is bad news. I took cover off dec motor and withought getting into it too much, the actual motor mount on the fork arms is solid, it seems the slop is in the actual motor to mount area. Anybody have experience putting this motor on, or just tightening it up? I replaced the dec motor on a lx50 but this is not the same.
Thanks, Brian

201xt ?

Posted By Brian Pope

Hi, Bought a used ccd setup on astromart maybe a year ago.
Just now getting to use it and learn about it. first attempt at using the 201xt. Centered bright focus star in off axis guider, did the ff and then the calibration, the scope does move rt left adn such. Does go to the guide position after it does that. Brightness of 35 gc 00. Tried a couple variations and maybe the brightness changed but never the guide correction. The scope needs to be corrected as I have done some guiding with recticle. Also I move the pictor in and out and nothing changes. I cant get it to give me an error no matter what. Any ideas or am i still in the learning aspect? Thanks Brian
