Just your eyes will do. But to see some detail on the planets disk a 4" does pretty good. The rings are easy to see in a 60mm scope. Feels like i went to bat with a ape as the parts to this mount are so heavy. Got most of the mount back together.

Just another part.

Never. I never fool with astrophoto work. I did some sun and moon shots with film once back in the 80's. Already sold the scope, and keeping the mount for other scopes i buy and sell. It has rained 25" since i bought my GT a month ago and it is screwing me up with priming and painting the mount.

Added a 3rd telescope to the bunch.

Many times people look past the obvious because the answer is too easy right! All of these giant telescopes and a name of CCCP, you're a Russian spy!

Not really sly. My name is Charles i am a Capt and middle name starts with a C and last name starts with a P.

Someone did good machine work on the homemade rotating rings.

Charles is the C in CB. No offense meant, just a joke.

What a bummer the new scopes mounting studs won't work with the Cave saddle as the bottom stud hits the DEC gear mounting plate. Always gotta remachine something.
