Dioptrix experiences anyone?

Posted By Joe Heafner

Last week at the Mid Atlantic Star Party, I got a 35mm Panoptic and love it! I also noticed that the same vendor had some Dioptrix units on hand. I didn't know my astigmatism correction at the time but after I got home, I discovered that Tele Vue makes one precisely for my prescription. Can anyone comment on how well the Dioptrix works? I have several of the compatible eyepieces.

need EON 80mm focuser help

Posted By Joe Heafner

This past weekend, I purchased a brand new Orion EON 80mm ED refractor. I've somehow managed to get the focuser out of whack. Could someone kindly give me VERY DETAILED instructions on how to get the focuser operating as smoothly as possible? Before I "fixed" it, turning the fine adjustment knob revealed zones in the focus travel. My attempts to "fix" this resulted in chaos and I don't know how to proceed at this point. There are so many allen screws! HELP!
