Re: WTS: Legacy astrophotography cameras + 3 sets of imaging filters [final prices]

Hi guys, Just a quick bump by including this link to a CCD filter calculator: https://astronomy.tools/calculators/ccd_filter_size In this way, you can calculate if 1.25" filters work for your system. For example, a Redcat 51 with 183 camera and a filter-sensor distance of 28mm, is roughly the l...

WTS: Televue 3x barlow [SOLD]

Hi guys, I found another thing to let go and this is the hardly used 3x Televue barlow. Nowadays, the planetary cameras have small pixels so I don't need the 3x barlow to reach the optimal sampling. At the very edges of the field lens of the barlow, there are some smudges which I also don't know why...

Re: WTS: Telescopes, mount and accessories

Hello... EQ3 mount modified to AZ. Would it fit the Vixen SXG-S71 tripod? I have MIA so long already - lost touch with all the info. If it can fit - can have a photo ? Thanks Hi, Since the Vixen SXG-S71 tripod fits GP2 mount then it should fit EQ3. The "modification" of EQ3 that I did is ...

Re: Beginner Set Up - Chime in!

Hi, ZWO-AM3 would be slightly cheaper if your setup is not that heavy. You would need a guidescope and camera for guiding.
