Re: Some questions about EQ mounts modified for our latititu

I know most of the scope owners have motor-driven EQs, but I noticed that McGill offers an EQ3-2 modified for our latitudes. Do they really work? (I've used a normal EQ1 and the counterweights alway get in the way) Is it important to have modified mounts here? If so, where can I get them and how mu...

Re: anybody wanna share buying a dob?

Hi all, I am thinking of getting a 12-13" portable dob, but as usual, I think it's a waste to buy it alone, because I am sure I don't get to used it very often (unless I have lots of spare $$$, then that's different story). Such scope should be used more often in star party and stuff. I don't ...

Your Ideal Scope Collection?

Hi, I was wondering what would be your ideal scope collection, assuming enough funds but not enough manpower to lug around if needed (i.e. yourself). To start off for myself: 1) Portable light bucket e.g. 10" portaball 2) Grab and go scope e.g. 5" SCT 3) Dedicated high power scope e.g. MN6...

Are your component faulty? If so, must get the same back as the mounting position is different from other brands. If you just want to add the elec dehum. on the plastic or metal box, then don't waste your time as you need all the DIY knowledge and tools to make one! Hence, the best is get a cabinet ...
