Hey D. Usually, manufacturers have seals around the screws and other components and are easily broken when disassembling. One of the first things they look for...

Bill, I think that I'm leaning towards your recommendation for the ST80 to use as a guidescope. I have a question about the link you provided for the rings....
Hi Costas, I bought the 4-inch rings which is adequate for ST80, but should have gotten the 4.6-inch. When you go to Scopestuff.com, go to the bottom of the...
Hi Bill, I can't seem to find the section in yellow saying "Pick your telescope". Maybe I'm going blind. Can you provide a link? Thanks, Costas ... have...
Hello Bill and D Sorry to bud in to your correspondance but I thought even though it is New Years and we should be enjoying time with our families I have to...

Happy New Year from John in Muskegon, MI! Got a clear sky tonight here - was out about 15 minutes ago looking at the Orion Nebula through my 10x50 binoculars...

Very nice Paulus, Looks like you have excellent focus and good guiding. Looking forward to seeing more pics from you. Clear skies and calm winds, "Dollar"...
I agree, nice images. There are a couple dust donuts at the top right, like I'm experiencing but other than that, very nice. Costas ... forward to ... Canon...
Thank you, Dollar. In fact the QE of ICX259AL is very good. You can see that I only have 30sec for L channel. Therefore, you can forget "guiding". I forgot to...
Hi Costas, The dust donuts can be removed by flatfield easily. However, I forgot to take the flatfield with my reflector on that night. I will do it later. ...
Hi Paulus, I'm gonna try and take flatfield images next time I'm out. I've never tried it before but I have some ideas how I'm gonna do it. We'll see if it...

Tim, I've not gotten in to AASVO activities other than to try out a couple of things. You've got more problems than antiblooming with the starshoot that you...
I guess I'll ask the first dumb question fo the New year. I have a cutoff Ha filter (650 nm I think). Anyhow, with a near full moon tonight, will this help...
Paul, I have found that you can take deep space images with the StarShoot during a full moon without any filters. Go for it! Clear skies and calm winds, ...
Not a dumb question, that is a narrowband filter and will only pass H- alpha wavelengths, so you can use it for most anything that emits in that spectrum,...
Charles, I read your excellent article on the StarShoot in Rod Mollise's Skywatch newsletter. I have a couple of questions for you. 1. You do not recommend...
Hey Paul, Excellent focus and very good tracking. That 90 mm is the cat's meow! I have the Orion ST80, but wish I could afford a 90 ED to piggyback on my ...
