LP 3mm with the Ioptron
Hi JJJnettie
The rings I used were 90mm that I obtained from Bintel, along with a long dovetail to help balance the scope. A picture attached if it works. The reason is because the Crayford focuser is so much heavier than the original plastic one and the balance pont is near the focuser.
Glob - I finally got the LP 3mm from Luke at Andrews, nice and 'similar' to the Williams Optics, but far to much for this tiny scope, even the ED80 that I have and will try it out on the 12" dob later if conditions allow. CA was very evident and focusing difficult even with the dual speed. What I did find surpising is that I also obtained the LP 8-24mm zoom, and within its limitations, a very nice eyepiece to use with the Ioptron and save room in the travel case.
At least viewing was reasonable last night after the rain.
regards
Alex
