I have that same "loop of light" when a bright object is just out of the field of view with my 127 Mak. I was considering dismantling the scope to flock the inside. Searching on "flocking" and "127 Mak" I came across this thread. I'll try just flocking the inside of the baffle using Don's instructions. Will this also increase contrast a bit? -------------------- Orion SkyView Pro 127mm Maksutov Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Orion 150mm MAK Covey32 07/26/05 09:24 AM Re: Orion 150mm MAK Kenny   07/26/05 05:05 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK Starman1   07/26/05 04:34 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK Clive Gibbons   07/26/05 09:42 AM Re: Orion 150mm MAK southmike   07/26/05 11:30 AM Re: Orion 150mm MAK Greg W   07/29/05 12:38 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK tolmac   07/31/05 12:07 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK Greg W   07/31/05 09:41 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK Starman1   07/31/05 01:54 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK tolmac   07/31/05 05:09 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK Starman1   07/31/05 07:38 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK Ken603a   07/29/05 12:51 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK Larry F   07/29/05 06:27 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK mooreorless   07/29/05 03:47 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK Starman1   07/29/05 07:09 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK DIO   07/29/05 07:26 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK DIO   07/29/05 07:32 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK mooreorless   07/30/05 06:22 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK Starman1   07/30/05 07:13 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK Dylan Gladstone   08/08/08 09:51 AM Re: Orion 150mm MAK bobmarleyou812   08/08/08 06:50 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK sang33ta   08/08/08 07:06 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK Mert   08/10/08 04:58 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK jrbarnett   08/10/08 05:29 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK Mert   08/11/08 07:14 AM Re: Orion 150mm MAK cuir   08/11/08 06:42 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK mooreorless   07/30/05 08:11 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK stevie   07/31/05 04:52 AM Re: Orion 150mm MAK DIO   07/30/05 07:11 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK stevie   07/30/05 09:30 AM Re: Orion 150mm MAK mooreorless   07/29/05 07:20 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK Ken603a   07/29/05 04:03 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK Greg W   07/29/05 02:56 PM Re: Orion 150mm MAK ForgottenMObject   07/26/05 09:28 AM Extra information 10 registered and 21 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
