Daniel I have been using a hard coupled ST8E + CFW8 with a AP130 f6 and have obtained the same results of .78 reduction with the 1.75" extension and the AP...
Hi Tom, Yes, running out of in-focus is what I'm afraid of and that's what I'll have to try next time out: I sure hope that my Traveler and AP155/7 will give...
Thanks Jeff and please let us know if the NGC7000 image works out with the standard extension. I assume you'll be using a Traveler. Daniel ... SBIG ... (p/n ...

Daniel The thin adapter will not solve the problem since it or the normal adapter attach at the end of the extension tube for securing the camera. With the...
If you're just placing your name on the list, there are two ways to think of it: a] I hope Rowland doesn't retire by the time my name pops up; or b] My...

Get the G-11. I'm in an identical situation having just received a 130 f6. I've mounted it on a used G-11 as an upgrade to my Brandon 94mm f7 on a super...
... Hi Joe, Marty, Doug and all, The G-11 should be nice. Nice scope too! One thing not mentioned here is if you are using your mount around your own back...

Hi: I use the 130 f6 on a G11. I would love to have the 600 mount, but the G11 is paid for, and I don't think I could sneak the 600 it past my wife. She would...
