+Ibbo Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I very like the idea of the integrated filter wheel and OAG and the brass monkeys cooling. Please no aquarium type water cooling but not the the idea of the Kodak and the darks :nonono: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ibbo Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) I stand by that decision for my kit and seeing conditions I would say that though though if somebody wants to chuck me a SX ATIK or QSI with that sensor I'll have it :whistle: Edited January 9, 2014 by Ibbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I got a T-ring for my Konica Minolta DSLR and I hope to be doing a lot with it soon. I don't have a big budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beewolf Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Just got one of these from cpc - seems too good a price to miss and falls into the "must come in useful for something" category! £19.84 with free next day delivery! http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?SKU=TL14630 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 That's amazingly similar to the Wixey angle guage - in fact - looking at mine - it's almost identical - rebadged maybe? The beauty of it is you can fit it and start using straight away. Just get the elevation from Stellarium or CduC - set the tube to height - and pan left/right in the general area of your object to find it.

BAZ Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 That is a cracking price, and it has the reference level on the top. Nice find Gavin, it is defo a useful bit of kit, even if you have a EQ mount, it's handy for leveling that. If you have a Dob, there's half your goto by hand system. Edit; It turns itself off after five mins, but just turn it back on, it remembers the last calibration and is good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
