diagonals is there a differance

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Mark, at this point in time, with so much competition and good prices, and IMHO, I would make sure to get a Dielectric Diagonal... which they all have very high reflectivity and high durability...

And as far as reflectivity goes, when you are in the high 90s, your eyes won't be able to tell the difference, so if you get 96-97-98-99%... it is all GOOD! 8)

Polar Alignment and a GOTO scope...

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Chris, on all the GOTO mounts I've seen/played with, the "first star" has always been pretty far off... (but that has NEVER been a problem, once the mount is synchronized to the alignment stars)
