Shopping for a refractor MountPosted By john raymond |
For a given weight, length, and diameter of a refractor, how do you calculate the minimum payload equatorial Mount for visual use?
For refractors over 6” dia and over 8 feet long.
We can calculate eclipses thousands of years in the future, but I haven’t seen my question addressed anywhere.
Thanks
John

Best 10 collapsible dob?Posted By john raymond |

The Dobstuff is a good option. Dennis made a scope for me , he is pleasant to deal with.

I also recommend New Moon Telescopes Hybrid. http://newmoontelescopes.com/product-category/hybrid/
Ryan uses actual hardwood wood for the builds. They look like fine furniture.
Add a good North American made mirror and you'll have a fine telescope.

EAre they the same as Skyshed POD?
Did you try contacting some of the dealers?
http://www.skyshed.com/dealers.html
If you only recently contacted them, it’s possible they might be at a star party considering it’s new Moon weekend. ???

AP 600E in usePosted By john raymond |
A couple of weeks ago we had a little solar meetup. Unfortunately there were no sunspots.
The 600E works well and a lot more portable than my old 900 QMD.
