Tip look for radio knobs to replace the long janky ones also with better eyepieces you are gonna have to figure out how to add an extra weight to the bottom
Thanks. I did replace the original knobs for the slo-mo controls. And the tripod is pretty light, so I agree that weighing it down would be a great idea.
I have the tabletop version of that scope. I use a 40mm eyepiece as a finder scope. I get in the general location with the red dot and follow up with the 40mm. It gives 11X power and a FOV of around 4° if I remember correctly. Does your starblast say 113mm aperture or 114mm? Seems there are some that say both. Mine is 113mm.
No. It comes with a collimation cap (not a lens) and the instructions help walk you through the initial setup. I had never collimated a scope before and found the process pretty easy.
Just bought the Orion telescope and few other things for it. Great video on explaining your experiences you have had with the telescope..thank you.
That's great to hear! Hope you have a great time with it and thanks for commenting.
Great video! I just got mine and it’s been so fun.

@@thegreenstargazer not just tripod but with mine I got a decent eyepiece nothing wild and a laser and it wouldn't balance

Mine is 114.
@@thegreenstargazer Interesting. So it seems that for the tabletop its 113 while for the EQ mounted version its 114. Thanks!
Very good video
Thank you very much.
I want to modify the knobs too
Helpful, thank you!
Thank you again!
Awesome video
Thank you much.
Do you need to buy a collomation lense for this?

I'm sorry. I'll try to do better.
