Sorry to change the subject but, David I see you've got an LX90. I have a 12"LNT myself and want to get user friendly collimation screws to replace the factory installed ones. I bought a set off Scopesfuff.com but they weren't low profile and interfered with the cover. I ordered again and they sent me screws for the 8" LX90. The screws were too short. Their website lists many LX screws but does not specifically sell screws for the 12" LX90 LNT. Any suggestions because after nearly 2 years the allen key is doing my head in. Fortunately it doesn't need re- collimating too often

Hi

I think what you are looking for is "Bobs knobs" which can be got from

moonfishgroup.com/catalog/index.php?cPat...580a1bacc33b2ebe84a9

I bought 2' eyepieces off them earlier this year and they ship quite quickly.

Hope this helps

DB


Ps Are you going to cosmos?

Yes, I'm provisionally going to COSMOS though I'm still trying to swap days at work to accomadate it. I've been recently updating my eps on astromart (quite successfully, as it goes) so I'll be bringing a few to sell or trade at generous prices. I've a Antares Speers Waller 17mm SWA Type 2, a Meade 4000 31mm SWA 2" a Meade 4000 56mm Plossl 2" (hefty; works well on my 12"lx90 but neither it or the 32mm SWA can reach focus on my 12" f4 dobs - focuser won't travel far enough). Finally I've a Meade 26mm super plossl and a 9.7mm super plossl. I know this should be on the "For sale " forum but unless interested parties are at COSMOS I'll keep them for the moment.
Thanks for the "Bobs nobs" tip. I ordered from them after reading your response.Don't worry. If they never arrive I won't be "gunning " for you.
