Objective refiguring(?)

Posted By James Witt

Does anyone offer a service to refigure objectives like a Frauenhofer design achromatic doublet? In other works someone like Steve Swayze for example?

Internal Server Error

Posted By James Witt

Hello,

I am not sure WHERE I should post a message like this but I was directed here. I have been experiencing Internal Server Error's for about 3 months now when searching for specific items using the advanced option in the classifieds. This even happens when searching just a month back in time using the advanced option. I am not new to Astromart so it is not an end-user usage misunderstanding. The same thing happens with the forums "sometimes" but not as much as the classifieds.

The screen capture below is from today at approximately:

First try on Jupiter

Posted By James Witt

I really really tried on this one but never could get the focus right on and thngs were not very stable. Intes MK91. I have no idea how to process the color, guess it doesn't matter since I couldn't get the detail I have seen that others achieve via their postings.

Comments/suggestions?

C14 Focuser suggestions(?)

Posted By James Witt

I just sold my Clement focuser with a package deal on my MK91. Now I am looking for another focuser for my C14. Looking for someone with direct experience with a great focuser for my C14. Oh, yes I do imaging.

Thanks,
