Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has mounted a Bintel/GSO 10 Inch dob OTA on an EQ6?
I would imagine it would make for a nice lunar imaging / planetary imaging platform, especially if retrofiited with the JMI Motorfocus unit for the GSO 10:1 focuser and a DMK21......
Any thoughts?
Would make for a much cheaper alternative than for instance a C9.25 or C11, especially if permanently mounted in an observatory.
Cost breakdown would be.......
Bintel or Andrews 10 Inch dob......... $699
303mm Tube rings ........................ $59
JMI Motofocus (GSO 10:1 focuser)... $245
Cheshire Collimator / Sight Tube...... $59
I already own a DMK21, a 2.5x Powermate as well as a 5x Powermate
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Daniel
