I have followed the discussion about locking down a 10" LX200 to
accommodate the JMI NGF-s. I have an 8" LX200 and have purchased an
Optec TCF. I assume that it is necessary to lock the mirror for the TCF
as it is required for the NGF-s. The locking procedure for the 10" is
very clear (and clever). That procedure will apparently not work on the
8" as there is no access port at the rear of the scope.
Any thoughts on:
1) if it is required to lock the mirror to support the TCF, and
2) how to lock the 8" mirror
will be fully appreciated
