Dear all,

Very sorry for this massage but I need
very some help. I'm 28 years old amateur
astronomer from Poland. My main interest
are variable star and comet observing.
A few years ago my grandfather bought me
a Meade 16" Starfinder Dobson. That's
excellent still used equipmant. 3 years
ago Center of Backyard Astronomy donated
me a ST-7 CCD. I cannot observe using
this excellent camera cos my scope
not moving. I have a set of Mel Bartel's steppers and board. But the main problem is mount. The parts which
I can make in Poland are in cost to high. The gears can costs about 80%
of costs using mount for my Dobs as
see on Astromart.

So, can you, your friends know a person
which can donate me using mount (can without motors) or parts, may be slight
failed. Or even tips. Maybe in your coutnry existing company which can make something like this?

Thanks for any help.

Dear all,

I have small problem. After I bough Flip-Mirror system I can't reach focus
in my camera/eyepiece :S . I have a Newton refractor.
When I'm testing system with simple eyepieces the focus
can be reached when eyepiece-output moving to secondary mirror and
almost all lie down in telescope tube. What I should to do buy any
reducter or barlow? Maybe a 1.6x Barlow can
be suitable? I know that it changing focal ratio. And what
about OCA/OCS systems? I hope that I correct name
such systems. I just saw them first time in Internet-shop...
