I need help with 2X 2" Powermate & Parac orr

Posted By Edward Goebel

I have a TeleVue Powermate 2X 2" and have just received a TeleVue Paracorr w/ a tunable top. To use both in my scope TeleVue's page on the Powermate says to put the Paracorr into the Powermate and on the Paracorr page it says not to use Barlow's w/ the Paracorr. Does that mean Powermates? I'm confused. I need some help on using these two togeather.

ASM mirror cell

Posted By Edward Goebel

I can't speek specificly about their mirror cells. I had a friend that bought a 10" scope from them. The initial shipment was missing pieces. After ASM shipped the missing pieces some parts were wrong or they did't fit. I took aroung 6 months to get all the problems worked out.

Sky Commander Help Please

Posted By Edward Goebel

I had the same problem. I had the Polarity backwards on my external power supply. After I reworked the plug and corrected the polarity problem I had no more problems connecting to the computer. You might also check the Baud rate on the Sky Commander.
