Guest fondofchips Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Second hand Skywatcher AZ-EQ6 GT mount, just need to understand the instructions now. So until I stop scratching my head have a look here at Steve Richard's review. http://www.firstlightoptics.com/user/Sky-Watcher_AZ-EQ6_GT_part_1.pdf Edited March 10, 2014 by fondofchips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Been meaning to try "The Great Courses" for a while. Don't know if these DVD courses of video lectures are any good, but will find out soon. Got "Black Holes Explained" and "Joy of Thinking - The Beauty and Power of Classical Mathematical Ideas".

Teslar Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Snap Ron. Baader sky surfer V because I'm using the IV on my Mak and swapping it back and forth to my TS10" is a pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toymaster Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 A Baader Sky Surfer V RDF, thanks Sheila I was interested in buying one of these from FLO but was concerned that they would not be suitable for a big DOB as there didn't appear to be that high above the body of the scope with the standard fittings. Can understand them being just fine with shorter scopes such as a Mak where you can get your head behind the scope. Ade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 A Telrad with at least a 2" riser is good with a Dob, but you do need a riser to be comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Agree with Martin, a Telrad with a 2" riser is spot on for a Dob!! (and cheaper!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al.Grant Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 As my family were kind enough to buy me an Astrotrac tt320x-ag, Polar scope, Manfrotto 410 Junior Geared Head, Manfrotto 496RC2 Ball Head, I took the excuse to order a few bits > Astrotrac AT1 Aluminium Tripod - similar to EQ3 tripod. Not as light/portable as the Manfroto tripods, but portable enough for my needs and easily sturdy enough for the job. > 3 x M3x10R thumb screws. For moding the Astrotrac polarscope. > Hubble 5-star Artificial Stars Yeah it's a modified 'torch', but cheap enough to have a play with and seems to get some good reviews. > Ronchi Eyepiece 10L/mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
