Hello all,

I have just got an older Celestron orthro 12.5 reticle 1.25in eyepiece but didn`t have a battery in it for sizing.I was told that a replacement LR44 would do even if I had to double them up to fit but the LR44`s I seen were way too small to fit properly and am unsure of the voltage that would be too much for it.Does anybody out there have the same eyepiece or can recommend a battery that would work for it.

Hello all,
I`ve seen forums on this before but couldn`t find them again.I need to regrease my EQ5 mount to drive better in the Canadian cold (winter doesn`t look like it`s leaving anytime soon).I will use the "super lube grease" with or without teflon I don`t know but what is a good solvent to remove the old grease(if you can call it that)? It`s a year old and hasn`t been touched before.

Thanks for any replies,
Brian
