Scott: Glad you got a great star test. We determined what happened to this scope and five others made on that particular day. That was the main clue that...
Dave: Thank you for your question. The 115 Special Edition requires a larger tube to accomodate the massive 3.5" Feather Touch Focuser. Both telescopes use...

Jake, I'm not sure why you would want to do this. I've found the tripod with the 2" stainless steel legs to be extremely sturdy with my SV85S up through my ...
I have been eyeing the same OTA John. Nice Job, and good to see a fellow D70 owner. It's hard to tell about noise with so small a photo. I have never gone...
Chris: The Stablelock is pretty sturdy, and may have some advantages to the 2" steel legs, esp. if Jake has certain portability needs. It's always nice to have...
