Re: New Obsession 18 Classic setup.

Re: New Obsession 18 Classic setup.
Hi Bob, I have a classic 15 and UC22. First I am very astonished when you say that the collimation changes with rotation. There is something wrong or strange in your setup as I don't remember having

Re: New Obsession 18 Classic setup.
I have a 15UC and find if I collimate at about a 45 degree angle I have no problems. It is a good idea to collimate at an angle that is close to the angle you will mostly be using it at. I do not do

Hi Bob, I own both a classic 15 and UC22. First of all, what Mark said is right, the primary are suspended with a kevlar string. I scanned and attached my owner manual. You will have to setup the

Re: New Obsession 18 Classic setup.
Unfortuantely, no. Front of mirror. So put the scope together, weight it and move it to horizontal. Then tighten the nuts on the tops of the standoffs. That way you won't be over the mirror. Mark

Re: New Obsession 18 Classic setup.
How do you tighten the mirror fingers?? Is this done from the bottom of the primary mirror box?? I do not like the idea of working on the mirror side, in case of dropping tools. Bob Is there a

You could also chase Jupiter and Saturn during daylight hours!? Looking at the photo, I am guessing you could use the roof of the house to the West to block the Sun and catch the gas giants. Regards,

Very Nice!! Enjoy the views! Beware of the "new telescope curse1" Those who obtain a new telescope must suffer through many cloudy nights prior to using the scope. Ciao, Frank Nowatzke
