Re: Beginner's Scope - Skywatcher 130mm Truss Dob

Hmmm, just an observation. Isn't an Allen key much smaller than a screwdriver? ;)

I think it's a case of "I did it cause I can!"

Heheh, I'm like that too!

Clear skies!

Re: WTS: Celestron Short Tube with Crayford Focuser

kind of interested but a few questions: 1. Does it come with finder bracket and finder scope? 2. I assume it is for 1 1/4inch eyepieces etc? 3. f/5 scope? 4. any other accessories thrown in? diagonal, eyepieces etc? i'm out of country at the moment but will contact you more at end of week when back ...

Re: Finderscope adjusters

Mine went missing due to naughty small hands.... In the end I bought stainless steel hex head Allen screws. They work well but scratch the paint of the finder scope. The plastic ones are better but harder to find. Some very specialist computer shops may sell it to attach the desktop CPU access panel...

Re: Unboxing the Vixen SXP Mount

Sorry... Was focussing on your mount. Then the averted vision managed to resolve messier 169 in the background ;). Else I would NEVER have noticed it!
