Can I transfer a PEMPro PEC curve from a CP3 to CP4?
Patrick, We are investigating a way to transfer the PE curve, but at this time it will be necessary to do a new curve. It never hurts to have a fresh curve. Regards, George George Whitney Astro-Physic

Refractor on top of OTA ok? AP 1100 GTO Mount
David, I do not recommend it due to the enormous moment arm. Sticking the 20 lb. refractor on top, way out from the center of gravity is like adding 40-50 lb. Regards, George George Whitney Astro-Phys

Crayford style focuser for Vario-Finder 10x60 ; 61x250 f/4.1
Guys, Use the Baader scope’s fine focus, not a helical focuser…flexure can enter into the guiding. The point of the guidescope design was to eliminate all flexure. Regards, George George Whitney Astro
