Ian,
I was using it with a camera no issue.
I am using a diagonal with 2 spacers screwed into to the eyepiece barrel to achieve focus for visual.
I was not aware this was an issue with some refractors.
That’s a question people should ask when buying for visual use as I suspect it won’t be mentioned in the specs!

JackGiovanni,
You have understood correctly.
So, I am using spacers to achieve focus.
I was not aware this could be an issue with some telescopes!

Its a Paramount MX with a 70 star T point model.
I use http://www.thinkman.com/dimension4/default.htm to set the clock.
Question for Grant: Are you saying that if I change my lat lon location in TheSkyX I have to do another T point run?
Regards,
JackA conundrum Google Earth says 51.59 36 0.60 77 The SkyX X says 51.37 45 0.36 27.
Question: If TheSkyX co ordinates are wrong would that explain why the target is not dead centre in the field of view.
It has a T point model.
Which one is correct?
JackAll, I have acquired a Rainbow Optics star spectroscope its primarily to view the spectra of bright stars and general observing no imaging.
Thanks for your advices,

A later version 10.2.0 or newer SkyX software needs to be installed this works with Windows 7 or 10.

I have 2 slits and slot supports and changed from the 35 to the 23 micron slit.It appears the latter is faulty.
Question, Would the wide slits be useful?

Thanks for your inputs,

Because the computer was displaying a black background, I could not see the text in the status bar.
So, in Personalisation settings change to a standard Microsoft picture.
All working.
Thanks for you help.
JackPeter and William,
I should have explained I am installing Maxim on a new computer.
I followed your instructions but don’t see any numbers or i value?
Thanks for your inputs,
JackRobin,
‘I recall you have a remote adjustment, could this have been preloading it causing premature wear’?Are you advising against motorising the micrometer ?
Regards,
JackRobin,
I have released the collar. When tightened then slackened a fraction of a turn the micrometer is easier to turn.
It may be worth an overhaul as you suggest.
Thanks for your advices,
JackRobin,
It became increasingly tight over time.
From your photos and comparing with the other Lhires the collar looks engaged.
I will overhaul it as you suggest.
Question 1; What lubricant should be used and is there a risk of it getting on the grating?
The remote adjustment is the motorised collimating lens.
Regards,
Jack
