Old Ranger Rebuild Project

Posted By Scott Anderson
Does any company make a focuser that will fit on a Ranger?
I have an old one that if I could remove the focuser and replace it with quality after-market one I think it would be a better scope. I just never could get use to the original helix one.

I think a couple of years ago there was a thread about taking a Ranger apart for some other reason, cleaning I think. Are those slotless screwheads just screws with their slots covered ?

Just a thought. Thanks for any input.

Vixen Skypod Mount

Posted By Scott Anderson
Just saw that OPT is offerring the Vixen Skypod mount for $900. Does anyone know about this mount? Does it work in the cold? Would it be better than a telepod with DSCs?
I'm thinking of using it for my Ranger which I use only visually and have NO plans for any form of pictures ever.

Thanks

portaball/lightbridge?

Posted By Scott Anderson
Tough question?
Is it better to get a 8" Portaball or a 12" Lightbridge?
Money/size differences vs. quality optics/design.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Hope to order something soon.

Thanks Scott

Low power eyepiece for CA reflector

Posted By Scott Anderson
Hi,
I have a 3.6" CA (clear aperture) Orion reflector with 1 1/4" eyepiece holder. I'm very impressed with. I'm wondering what eyepiece would give me the lowest power therefore the widest view.

Is there a "shadow" problem being that the diagnol is not in the optic path? Does the size of the diagnol mirrot limit it?

Thanks,
Scott
