Guest Kheldar Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Budget? (Edit) and is it just low profile you need, or quality of holding load? Edited February 24, 2012 by Kheldar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kheldar Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'll chuck some ideas up to start Revelation Dual Speed (£105) Baader Steeltrack (£185) Moonlight (£255) Feathertouch (£439) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eddy Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Budget is whatever is neccesary, you said low profile to get focus on my webcam, but I guess it has to be strong too as im looking at getting a hyperion zoom with dslr adapter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kheldar Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) I think I suggested a low profile adaptor first, but I don't know what sort of focuser the new Dobs have, and whether you can use them without that nasty 2" adaptor? For that much weight though, I'd go with the Steeltrack over the SW low profile then, but that's just my opinion from using them If you catch up with Bryn before/at SGL he's got my old one on his scope.

Guest Eddy Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Yea I think you can use it without the adapter but then the webcam wouldn't fit unless theres sone 2" adapter for the webcam? I don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kheldar Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 This is the link I posted you in the shoutbox http://www.scopesnskies.com/prod/scopeteknix/accessories/low-profile/eyepiece-adaptor.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I've only ever seen 1.25" nosepieces for webcams so in this case you will need the 2"-1.25" adapter as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
