Canada Ideal spot for Telrad ??       #2098718 - 01/05/08 02:46 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Just finished looking at the "Show of your LX,RCX setup" thread from start to finish And was wondering if there is a ideal spot to mount a Telrad on a 14". Seen them mounted on the front near the corrector plate or at the back by the focuser and on either side and in the middle. Could you please tell me the pros and cons of where you mounted yours. And any regrets you may of had after you mounted one. -------------------- Kent Orion 100mm ED Skywatcher 8" Newt Skywatcher 10" Newt Orion 20X80 Giant Veiw bino's and a few other goodies And in my possession(for the time being) LX200R 14" behemoth Post Extras:       imjeffp Aluminum Falcon Reged: 09/30/03 Posts: 4977 Loc: Cedar Park, Texas Re: Ideal spot for Telrad ??

The 90° position might not work so well. -------------------- Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 2 registered and 1 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
