Title: ioptron polarscope
Post by: Fay on Jun 01, 2014, 14:47:56
Mark i tried to align the above with scope in the Ioptron, just now, but could not turn it around easily. is a V the only way to go?

You can't rotate it when it's in the iOptron so you'll need some kind of V shaped cradle.

Found this about the ioptron polarscope, but not tried it out yet.
