Teslar Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 The original Quatto is gone and the 10CF hasn't arrived yet just as well really I did promise to finish the garden at the new house before I got my scopes unpacked ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Ha ha, why the change in scopes? Weight? Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teslar Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) It's wasn't getting as much use as the ED80 and Mak180 so decided to sell the Quattro until I had a more permanent set up. Which hopefully will be within six weeks Weight was a factor in the replacement but because the 10S was a bit unwieldy and needed to total strip down and careful handling on my tripod neither of which would be a real issue with a more permanent set up but I may take it to a star party of two so thought I'd go carbon How about the 190 is all good and as advertised ?

+RonC Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Understood Tom, yes the MN190 is all it's made out to be optical wise without being unweildly! Just need a few clear nights now for it to earn it's keep! Have just stripped off the motors and gears on the Flexi-Dob and turned it into a manual Dob, this was mainly due to excess backlash which was a total pain!! Ordered a setting circle off Mike and a Wixey off Rob, so nearly sorted for EMS2! Cheers Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
