Re: Another test
Hi THP. Sorry so long in getting back to you. I bought this telescope from OPT in 2009. It is the "Multi Function Mount" metal base version, with dual axis speed controls. The current Sky Watcher (Virtuoso) offering is on a wooden table top mount similar to the Orion StarMax 90. My scope is excellent for lunar/planetary and wildlife viewing and photography, and as a bonus, it makes for a great "grab and go"telescope.The Happy Parrot wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 12:32 am Hi Marshall, I'm not familiar with Skywatcher telescopes and I notice there is some sort of electronic control on the scope, is that a GoTo system?
I found the original specifications, and they are below:
Sky-Watcher 90mm f/13.8 Maksutov-Cassegrain on motorized Multimount
Orion Astroview 120ST f/5 Refractor on EQ3 mount
Celestron Comet Catcher 140mm f/3.64 Schmidt-Newtonian on alt-az mount
Celestron Omni XLT150R f/5 Refractor on CG4 mount with dual axis drives.
Orion 180mm f/15 Maksutov-Cassegrain on CG5-GT Goto mount.
Orion XT12i 12" f/4.9 Dobsonian Intelliscope.

Nice!
I do what I do because I can, and because I want to.
It doesn't mean I know what I'm doing
