I tried aligning the finder scope with the main optics but I was surrounded by objects that were closer than the recommended 500m.





Hi Jerry,

Saturn was further than 500m! You can use it to align the finder scope. If you've got LP, it should be easy to distinguish from other stars.

I got a question for you. What's the focuser like. When looking at the instructions available on the SW website I noticed that there is a 2" adapter AND a 1.25" adapter (as my solid tube SW with R&P has). Is that correct or does the Crayford like focuser is ready to receive a 2" EP without an adapter.

Hopefully you understand my question – it seems I’m a little word challenged this morning.

Welcome on CN and clear skies to you!
