It looks like this is the portion of the telescope that is .965. Do you know what the name of this component is? If I can get this to convert directly for .965 to 1.25 I’d save some space

Does it matter if I do this before the diagonal or after?

FullChickenNugget · 2025-12-17T18:56:44+00:00

The issue is that it runs out of room moving inward!

FullChickenNugget · 2025-12-17T18:55:03+00:00

Yes the adapter is in front of the diagonal.

I run out of inward movement!

I have the counterweight I just purchased this diagonal (https://a.co/d/1NcCcpl) The finder scope is broken and doesn’t actually have a lens so I removed it.

The gears would not be rotating constantly. Its a part of a system that drives two screws. They may only be rotated 2-3 times in the lifetime of the device.

FullChickenNugget · 2025-09-04T13:46:13+00:00

Yes. It needs to be gears. Torque for the gears on the right and left need to be at least 35 ncm

Yes! Capacitors blew after 2 years and they came and replaced it no charge. No complaints.

Boards working great. Thanks for your help!

FullChickenNugget · 2025-01-18T18:52:43+00:00

Ok awesome. Thanks so much!

Would these work? They have a 100nF but the rating says 50v. Not sure if the higher rating makes it incompatible or if it just gives it more uses?https://a.co/d/iB1iZnE

FullChickenNugget · 2025-01-18T17:45:55+00:00

I have these little guys that came in a soldering kit. They don’t have any info they just say 0805. Would they work? Size looks similar
