Guest Eddy Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Shame this pops up after I buy one, what is the difference between the ddg one and standard one? What does the display tell you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 If you look on your focuser tube Eddy you'll find it has a graduated scale. The DDG just gives you a digital readout of that so you don't have to put a red light on the scale to read it in the dark. The DDG is a great idea for specific settings e.g. when setting the focus distance for a camera when imaging - or different eyepieces - you can get pretty precise with it. However - I used one once and the device itself was a poorly engineered piece of electronic tat imho. The on/of switch broke and wouldn't work so I had to unscrew the cover and remove/replace the battery every time I wanted to turn it on/off. And the screw top is tiny. They cut a considerable hole in the scope to fit it the device. I was quite disappointed considering WO usually make such good quality scopes - I woudn't touch these with a bargepole but others have got on with them and may disagree.
