Heck, I wonder what is Astromart all about, if it is not THAT and MUCH MORE...
Sounds to me like somebody can't stand being around people that KNOW much more than him and COULD contribute to his KNOWLEDGE EXPANSION...

Some of my Astronomy friends are half my age (and I'm 41), and we get along just great... and there are no arguments at all about the difference in age.

I guess that the Gen-X CREATOR of this Thread is not interested in answering/posting anything else on this thread... amazing, just like dropping a grenade and running...

You guys get the picture? 8)

Mounting rings for 10" LX200 GPS

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Hello Robert!

Are you running in Alt-Az mode or Polar mode? The weight counterbalance systems could be different, depending on your configuration...

I have my Orion ED-80 Piggybacked on my 10" LX-200GPS, and use the Losmandy dovetail & rings system... a wonderful set up, but heavier than others since it is solid aluminum...

Here is a link to them... (not cheap, but some of the best)

http://www.losmandy.com/secondary.html

Remember that ATWB carries this stuff, and you might be able to get them at a discount price... so check this site for the parts you find at this link... wink

Orion's Astrotrack drive & CG2-any good?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Hello Kerry!

I used to have an Orion EQ-3 (the SVD mount) with an Orion Astrotrack drive... and loved it!
It had adjustable speed control, and it worked like a charm... (and that 9 volt battery lasted quite a while!)

Awesome shot Louie! 8)
I hope you won't mind me resizing your shot a little, and applied a very light Unsharp mask from Photoshop...

Beautiful detail & colors... well done! wink
