Hi Everybody,

I found an Orion 120mm f4 refractor for sale on scope trader and it has a ton of stuff that goes with it. Already have a mount for it but before making an offer wanted to see if others thing its a good deal. See http://www.scopetrader.com/120mm-f5-Refractor-with-Lots-of-Extra's/?l=/Classifieds/displayad.asp&ad=2748.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Been looking for a way to motorize the t-max on my SM90? A vendor recently posted pictures of a product called the soloFocus, has anyone used one of these before?

The seller posted images taken with a D300 that I thought where good. With a little more processing the discoloration should be removable. If using it for widefield narrowband I doubt there would be any problem with aberration at all.

Seller is asking $799 and when you add it up:

$320 + Shipping for the scope
$190 + Shipping for the focuser
$169 + Shipping for TheSkyX
$75 + Shipping for the focus controller
$71 + Shipping for the guide port interface

Maybe I should make a counter offer of $599. Otherwise I can imagine getting the asking price without selling separately. If he is going for quick cash then might take it.
