Not sure about that screw, but the term “dovetail” mount is a general term for a mounting rail that has a chamfered edge that fits securely in a similarly shaped “key-way” on the mount. The smaller standard rail is considered a Vixen; the larger is considered a Losmandy. #5 Comet...
Optically these scopes are excellent. Because they have an integrated tripod mount, it is easy to attach a dovetail bar and use it off the base. But I use mine "as God intended" and it works very well - within limits. What it is, is an optically excellent 90mm telescope I can schlep...
and this scope was being sold locally, bundled with a CG5 GT mount, for a very good price. The RC6 turned out to be a much better EAA scope than the C8, with the promise of ’proper’ imaging in the future.
Not only does conscientiousness, after controlling for intelligence, account for 22% of the variance in GPA and 17% of the variance in time-to-graduation, it is also consistently related to each of the five specific performance criteria. The current findings dovetail nicely with those of Mount ...
Now, I am unaware of your circumstances, but you suggest that the limiting factor is weight, not carrying, and as you mention the light pollution I assume you mean in your garden? Else you'd be travelling elsewhere. If you upgrade to a heavier telescope leave the mount outside, find som...
Something to control the camera and the mount. Sharpcap Pro is simple, and does the basic things you need right now. NINA is not too hard and more capable. Having and knowing how to use both is not a bad idea. A platesolving program I like PlateSolve ...
into the adapter to mate with the hub on the mount. The stock configuration uses a dovetail connection here with grub screws 120 deg apart. These are just right for M5 clearance holes. I then located the holes on the adapter with a transfer punch then proceeded to drill and tap for M5....
mount, where you have equal parts weight on both sides of the pivot point, you no longer have that luxury and it stands to reason that flexing of the tube/truss/whatever becomes more of an issue. This is what led me to look at something other than a simple tube. My understanding of ...
also figured out how to mount my Synta ST 80 using a couple of closed rings that I got on here last year. Rather than put it on a dovetail I think I'll mount it on my lightweight EQ mount as a grab and go. #157abberation ...
