What is the best tripod and wedge for an old C8?

Posted By Jeff Cravotta

Hello All, I just bought an old orange, 1970's fork mounted C8. I need a tripod for it. I have found a few original ones for sale. Perhaps some of you who have worked with these scopes know of a better support alignment option that I may search for? THANK YOU! Jeff

Telrad on a Televue Clamshell ring

Posted By Jeff Cravotta

Greetings, I am trying to find a practical way to quick release mount a Telrad on a Televue Clamshell ring. I do not mind modifying the $40 Telrad but I just do not want to put sticky tape on my beautiful telescope. Plus, the size of the Telrad would inhibit proper balancing of the scope. I've spoken to lots of people about this and haven't had much luck. I would love your suggestions! Thank you, Jeff
