Brantuk Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'd wait for the camera - play with the finder in the meantime - it's a very nice bit of kit Mark - I have one on the 115 EDT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr T Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Yeah, I can't decide, kid wit new toy comes to mind! I suppose if I chose the camera I could hook it up to my SW 200P and use that as a guide scope and piggyback my DSLR on top of the scope.Would that work?

Brantuk Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Misuse of a big aperture scope - but no reason why it shouldn't work lol - get a bhatinov mask for it so you can focus right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Posty dropped a little package from Canada off this morning, its a cable kit for my Celestron CGE mount to replace the daft patch leads used for motor connections which pull out and strain losing contacts giving strange or no slews at all. Nice little project for tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman161 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 iPhone 4S cover that has a front cover that I can put red lee filter in to enable a quick conversion of iPhone to night vision friendly. Until it arrives I just have to tape the lee filter to the screen, still works a treat just be nice to just put a different case on rather than mess about with tape each time I want it use it whilst observing.

Tweedledee Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Hi Felix, I'm ready for a new case on my 4s. Can you put up a URL for the case you've ordered. Sounds like a really good idea. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman161 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) Hi Felix, I'm ready for a new case on my 4s. Can you put up a URL for the case you've ordered. Sounds like a really good idea. Cheers. Hi Pete, It was actually from Ebay.com as opposed to ebay.co.uk as uk searches returned nothing. All in all with postage and exchange rate it cost the princely sum of £4.58. Then there will be duty when it comes to UK. I would advise you to hang on and see how I get on as the sellers feedback is only 99.2% positive. There does seem to be a lot of UK buyers leaving negative feedback with comments such as "item never arrived" or "arrived after weeks but the wrong colour" etc etc. I will put up the link for you anyway if it does arrive it will do the job nicely, apparently (if it arrives) it comes with a stylus and x2 screen protectors.

Tweedledee Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Thanks very much Felix. It looks pretty tough and seems to be worth the risk at that low price. Duty can't be that much extra either. Can't make up my mind between the blue and the orange. Might go for both . Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No probs. yeah I thought for the money it's worth a punt I asked for black but to be honest I wouldn't care what colour they send as long as I can fit the lee filter into it I'm not bothered. I need to be able to use my iPhone to get the alt/Az coordinates to use my new setting circle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
