I recently aquired an 10" f6.3 ucht scope minus a corrector plate. I have an emc 10" f10. Both optical tubes are the same length. Which leads me to believe that the difference between the f10 and the f6.3 is in the secondary mirrors. Sooo, can I move the f10 emc secondary and corrector plate to the other ota and make an f10 ucht out of it?

I have just started moon imaging with my recently acquired C-8 and ToUCam Pro . Experienced imagers - suggestions and advice are welcome.

Clavius. Prime (F/10). Stack of best 150/600. Processed in Registax, moderate use of wavelets and masking. Seeing was so-so. Concerns are primarily collimation and focus. I think I am close, but could use some work.

Thanks! Ed

Help,
Trying to make up my mind which scope to buy??? I probably am over analyzing as I have spent several weeks researching the differences. Your input is greatly appreciated.

Those remote locks on our cars have given car thieves a new way to break into our vehicles without keys. All they have to do is grab our security code from the airwaves, use their laptop to create a key, send that code back over the air to unlock your vehicle remotely. Codes are easy to steal - anytime you use your remote to lock or unlock your car, it sends the code, which can be grabbed by anyone who has a suitable receiver. It only takes a thief seconds to do this.

They can then gain entry to your vehicle and steal whatever is in it - your laptop, wallet, purse or whatever you leave inside while you are at a rest stop, or grocery store. Beware. Don't use your remote to lock or unlock your car in a public parking lot. Use the inside lock when you exit the car, it does not send the code over the airwaves.

Isn't technology wonderful?

Are there any reports on the performance of the 100 degree Zhumell 9 and 16 mm eyepieces? The only one I saw was on an "indoor test." Anything else available at this point?
I was thinking of waiting until Owl services finds a hidden stash of them and sells them for fifty bucks!Then I could buy two for my binoviewer
