subtle difference?

Posted By James Suarez
C-80 ED is a f/7.5, 600mm fl with a R&P focuser, Onyx is f/6.25, 500mm fl with a crayford focuser. The C-80ED is believed to have a fpl-53 element. The Onyx has Fluorite based, low dispersion glass. Guessing it's fpl-51.

I think it's safe to say the C-80 ED will have better color correction.

Televue NP127 and Gibraltar 5 Mount Issue

Posted By James Suarez
I had my Gibralter(5) mounting plate screwed to the top of the G(5) cradle and works fine. It never occurred to me, till now, that the G(5) mounting plate gets installed on the bottom of the cradle.

Just mount the plate on top of the cradle 8) .

Is the C6R the same as the C150HD?

Posted By James Suarez
The CR-150 HD preceded the C6-R and did not originally have a collimatable lens cell, though I've been told later models of the CR-150 did start having them until Celestron designated them C6-R. Parts (focuser ,tube rings, optics) should be interchangeable except for the smaller dew-shield used by the original non-collimatable CR-150 HD refractor and the different lens cell.
