Do you know the weight of the two halves of the base when they are separated? I know combined it's 94lbs I just sold my C14 and looking for a replacement.

@lotsofhobbies Ай бұрын

I can check. Gimme about few days to take my scope apart and weigh the two halves.

@lotsofhobbies 19 күн бұрын

OK, that was tough! I'm not in a position to take the bad boy apart so, I had some high density 1" MDF with similar dimensions as the circle. My educated guess is each Circle (two in total) weighs ~30 lbs. The two uprights are ~10 lbs each. The motors are what is left over ~7 lbs per drive motor, to make 94 lbs.. Please don't quote me, these are just an educated guess.

I have one that is about a year old and it cranks and runs ok but the trimmer line constantly breaks. I have tried several different types of line (.095) but it will break after about 5 min of use. Just ordered a new replacement head, maybe it is the problem, also going to try some line form Stihl. Anyone else have constant line breaking problems ?

I run 0.080” line OEM so far. I have not thought about the amount of string I use. Now you put a bug in my ear so if I start thinking about that, I know where it came from.

I have the 12" and they are relatively simple to set up and use. You will need to collimate it before using. Mine came with the hand controller as well as WiFi.

@lotsofhobbies 2 ай бұрын

I found a collimating tool and got that done. Do you know where to get replacement thumb screws for the secondary mirror? Collimating with a swiss army type allen wrench set is a pain. My hand controller and the WiFi dongle were missing from my package. They sent me a new WiFi dongle, but I never did get the hand controller. The WiFi app works good, but I really should ask them about the hand controller.

Do a 1 year (or 2) later follow up. Let people see how it held up. I'm just about to go get one. I'm not messing with the old junk this year edit: I just got an FS 56 at the hardware store down the road. It was $199. I thought that was pretty cheap (maybe too cheap, did they cut corners to get the price down?) It works really well out of the box with much more power than the Walmart 2 strokes.

I just tried this job. And failed. My troubleshooting ended at not finding the correct bult size for the idler pulley. # 3 from the tensioner. It fell out on the customer. Went to the junkyard and found one. But the bult was either too small or the insert was broken. I went back, and the guy said it's definitely the correct part, and it means that the hole is messed up. I thought there would be a broken piece of bolt in there. Nothing was in the hole. The bult slides in and dangled in there. 🤕🤧😂

loved your video, did find it funny in places, thought you were going to pop a kidney at one stage🤣🤣. this scope is bigger and looks heavier than i thought it would be, I think i will have a re-think with this monster.

@lotsofhobbies 6 ай бұрын

Yes, it is quite large. I made a wheeled base with three outriggers to level the scope, works beautifully. I have taken my setup time from and hour to about 15 minutes. After that, it is amazing how clear and large you can see with the human eye and the aid of a telescope. Jupiter and Saturn never disappoint. Saw my first nebula by accident trying to find the Pleiades. I bought a camera now, so hopefully pics will be coming soon. Clear Skies my friend! From the US.
