While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?


Hi,

I have the standard 8x50 viewfinder on my 10" LX200. For some reason the
sucker seems a bit out of focus. Sure its usable, but the stars just don't
appear to be clean pinpoints. I checked it over and it seems quite clean..
is there anything I can do about this?

If it comes down to just replacing the sucker, anyone have any suggestions?

Eventually I plan on adding a telrad and then maybe an ETX 70AT as a
guidescope for CCD work (still need to research that a bit), but this
viewfinder is quite annoying to work with.

Appreciated,
Gary W.
