Hi Mark;

I was looking at the Orion OAG the other day, when I was looking into the "Orion X-Y Guidestar Finder".

It looks like a good rig, but I haven't heard of anyone using it yet.

It's not clear if that allows the prism to be tilted vertically like the Celestron OAG or not, which is something I really like and feel is a necessity now.

TTYL..

Hi Milton, I`m sorry if you`re recieving duplicate messages from me. I

have a Mobile Me address & a .Mac address now & the former is top of

the list & I often forget to select the right one for my Yahoo

membership! I have a niece modelling in LA who`s willing to mail me

some of these items difficult to obtain here. I`m told the helical

focuser can be used by loosening the set-screw for focusing then re-

tightening. At least the price is OK at present! Mark.
