matt_baker298 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Finally bit the bullet and bought a second hand 1600MM Pro for £950 from a really nice chap in Birmingham! Now I'm just waiting for an adapter for my 130PDS which will try to reduce the tilt from the coma corrector. For anyone interested, here's the adapter: https://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/product_info.php/info/p5417 +seven_legs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cheap however, can only get it from Germany and the postage is a flat fee of 16 euros so you're looking at £50 to get it. But if it is worth it, it'll solve a lot of issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red dwalf Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 what are the issues the adapter solves ? still thinking of getting a 150 pds myself or even an 8" F4 newt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I don't have one and have no issues using the Baader CC and cam on my 150 PDS but it would seem a lot safer if you could screw in the CC without having to use the focuser screws?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
