By “front lens” do you mean the secondary mirror, stalk and the spider vanes?



Here’s my stuff I put on a celestron AVX go to mount.

Your understanding of Telescopes is much better than mine, I'm sure. All of the above is missing in the front, Rockstar. The entire assembly. I saw a video that I saved on another computer that explains in depth How to make sure all the components all work together, including the eye piece magnification for the best possible views.


I seem to recall Subsim member Rockin' Robbins used computers with his telescope setups. He mentioned he got great views of the Planets and such. I am less than a novice when it comes down to Telescopes but with warm summer night fast approaching......



Btw Rockstar, that's a great looking rig you have.
Thanks for the input, Guys.
