Would anyone out there know where I can find a dew cap for my Meade 395 refractor...it measures 4 1/4" in diameter? Also, anyone has experience disassembling the pinion shaft and regreasing rack on the same scope?

Thanks

Does anyone have knowledge of the MaKuei 80HD or MaKuei 100HD as advertised on the TAL.COM website ?

Anyone know if the Celestron binoviewers will work with the Celestron 80ED refractor?

I've replaced the stock focuser on my Orion 100mm f/6 refractor with an Orion 100mm f/9 Crayford focuser that has a draw tube that is approximately 2" or more inches longer. It was an easy swap!! Question? Will this longer length interfere with the light cone, or cause other visual problems.

I did a quick focus check with a 2" 15mm wide angle eyepiece during the day and a quick check at night on M42 and I did achieve focus. Quality I couldn't be sure of because area was awash with neighborhood lights.

Appreciate any thoughts on this matter.

Thanks,
