temperature and insulation

Posted By Paul Romero

Hi,

I agree....its the dramatic "sun blasting against the walls" temperature change that is an inconvenience. I don't think it damages the instruments, but you can work easier in the obs. without the extreme heat change or cold (if you have a warm room).

3-Camera Wide Field Astrograph

Posted By Paul Romero

hi,

I have fond memories of getting custom machined parts for my C8 back in the day. I still have them today! The personal touch is priceless, and it enables you to use the cameras and equipment of your choice, rather than fit a stamped out design.

How would you rate that?

However, when I asked Ron at MoonLite, he told me that they are phasing out the Rotator Kit and cannot sell it at this time.

Can you please help me on how to get this Rotator Kit if it is available?






Thanks

Hi Watanabe,

Could you provide some information as to how you acquired your kit and how someone else might find one, too?

clear skies,
Paul
