Barlow that works on the FS78?

Posted By Charles Peterson

I have a FS-78 , and use a 2" diagonal, but i cant get my 2" , 2x Powermate to focus! It wont focus before or inside of the diagonal.

Just wondered what barlow will work with the FS-78, or do i need a to use a 1.25" diagonal and barlow?

Thanks Chas

1.25" barlow and FS78

Posted By Charles Peterson

I tried a 1.25" diagonal and 1.25" 2x Meade barlow, and it wont work with my FS-78! Guess i need a 2mm eyep.

The FS-78 can handle over 200x with ease, to bad they dont make a 2mm Radian.

Tak tube clamp fit Brandon 94mm???

Posted By Charles Peterson

Just wonder if anyone ever used a Tak FS-102 tube clamp for the Brandon 95mm OTA?
I already have my CG-5 dovetail tapped and drilled to work with my Tak FS-78's tube holder.

I am running an automated phone # checking software I have on AstroMart and I am deleting a LOT of accounts. Some with 50+ ratings.

I am going to stop for now and go back to it tomorrow to give people a chance to get their information RIGHT.

LOG IN - MY ACCOUNT - make certain your information is correct including phone # - SUBMIT

Sorry - your account could be gone tomorrow if the info is not 100% correct. I am not kidding

Thank you
Herb

Obsession Dob questions?

Posted By Charles Peterson

Just wanted to know from Obsession owners a few questions.
When you get the scope from obsession, are the truss poles a dead match for the mirror's FL? Or do you have to cut them to adjust for a small differance in FL, for the mirror?

Also does the mirror and scope come at the same time?
And how is the service from Obsession? Are problems sovled in a friendly manner?
