Charlie Ryder snapped these photos at Stellafane this past weekend. This one is a Norman Fullum reflector.

Using AP/Zeiss Binoviewer on Reflector

Posted By Rob Mackie
Is there a way to adpat the AP/Baader unit for use on fast reflectors? I use a 14.5" F/4.3 and an 8" F/5. I know the AP unit is designed for refractors, but has anyone had success in adapting it for use on reflectors? I thought perhaps one of the many Denk OCS adaptors might do the trick, and would like to hear from anyone who has made the AP work with reflectors.

Thanks,
Rob Mackie

You can take the wolf out of the wild, but can you take the wild out of the wolf? Or is it just a matter of good training in a domestic environment? Nature vs Nurture, to coin a phrase.

Beautiful animal, but does he ever go native on you? I'm curious.

This is NOT a Timberwolf

Posted By Rob Mackie
Here is Milo, all 11 lbs of him. He is a 7 year old miniature poodle, and every now and then makes short work of a rat or whatever other rodent crosses his path.

He is quite ferocious. I usually keep him muzzled and locked in a steel cage.

Here's a photo of the Mewlon 210 mirror and cell assembly. Note the conical mirror. The cell is easily removed from the ota by removing 3 screws.

Resting up Prior to an All Nighter

Here's a picture of me and my AP Star 12ED/Losmandy GM8. The Star12 is very nice. It deliver the goods every time, regardless of seeing conditions.

Mewlon 250 and TMB 105

Posted By Rob Mackie
Here is a Mewlon 250 (3000mm F/L) and a TMB 105 (650mm F/L) atop a Giro alt-az rig. The M250 replaces my Mewlon 210, which is for sale on Astromart.

TMB 105 CNC Tube with Unistar/GM8 Tripod

Posted By Rob Mackie
Here is the first in a series of photos showing the Unistar mount holding various otas. Thus far I've been happy with the Unistar. It's very well built and is adaptable to most tripods. In this case, it bolts into the top of either the GM8 or G11 tripod using an optional adaptor from Universal Astronomics.

Dobsonian Eye Candy by Chuck Fellows

Posted By Rob Mackie
Chuck Fellows built this scope, which features internal ring baffles, Chuck's custom machined Crayford focuser, and a Royce 8" F5 mirror. It's "stored" in our living room and is quite a conversation piece.
