the central obstruction size of the 8" is different from the 5" SCT. How are you gonna convert it to a 5" SCT? dunno, maybe i was just drinking to much :D Anyone with a C5 available for a joint observation this weekend? The weight and size of the 8" SCT starts to take toll on ol...

Weixing, would it be possible to convert my C8 into a C5 using the mask? always want to compare the performance of 8" SCT against 5" SCT on DSOs.

moon showed up at about 12.15am, it was a bit orange color

sam, can pm me the pricing? also include the mounting bracket for c8. thanks!

joined debash and weixing last night in tampines. cluster in crux (jewel box) and the cluster in centaurus looked magnificent on my c8, individual stars were resolved clearly. Thanks weixing for helping me collimating the scope!

Got the OTA from Astromart, the fork mount from a "local source", still need some collimation. One thing I missed the most from my previous scope, PORTABILITY :cry: http://www.singastro.org/album_pic.php?pic_id=122 http://www.singastro.org/album_pic.php?pic_id=120 http://www.singastro.org/...
