dawson Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 OK. What 'lens' (if any) goes in front of the sensor and how do you a) mount the camera and know where it's pointing? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 as it says 60mm scope for the first and 102mm scope for the second, widefield is a relative term in this context the scopes are on the pier mounted NJP mount which is PC controlled here it is on in its potable mode, the 102 is the bottom scope and the 60 is not on there https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/6150_228845460589053_1546768018_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
