@Storm Bird: I eagerly look to the photographic essay you will be creating, concerning your ship. This can be wonderful material for a printed publication. If the photos which you will create concerning your ship are of the same excellence as those photos you have shown to us here on Dyxum, you will make a superb artistic reputation for yourself throughout the photographic world.    ]]> Sat, 04 Feb 2012 02:57:23 +0000 http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=83794&PID=986228#986228 http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/digiscoping_topic83827_post986227.html#986227 Author: Dave_Anderson

Well, I'm not trying to be contrary here, just some FYI -- my 8" Dob vs your 10" shorty.

1) The movement of the primary mirror itself should be less twitchy -- you have exactly the same screw thread on the adjusters, and a 2" larger mirror. So, a single turn of any one screw will result in less angular deflection on your scope than on mine.

2) The secondary mirror mount/adjuster should be identical on both scopes, the difference being that the struts mounting that assembly to the tube are longer on yours.

3) For any angular movement of either the primary or secondary mirror, the shorter scope will exhibit less displacement of the image than the longer scope.

I'm not sure how you arrived at the conclusion that a collimation cap is not suitable for your scope but we can agree to disagree. I've seen how it can be superior to the la$er device myself.

I haven't taken any pics with my scope lately... too busy and not enough clear sky. My latest pics with it are posted earlier in the thread and in the blog post linked in post #3 in this thread.]]> Sat, 04 Feb 2012 02:33:27 +0000 http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=83827&PID=986227#986227
