60mm SS ... Dark Image

Post by Solar B »

Hi Folks

I bought a used 60SS last Autumn and have quite liked it ... however I have found

that it's only really usable with a 25-30mm EP & here the image becomes just bright enough

but does display reasonably good surface detail , I read a lot now that many consider theirs

to be too bright and of course I appear to have the opposite issue ?

I am used to quarks and their operation and I guess that my 60SS falls inline with that but then

it is housed within a much faster ota so I'm a bit confused ?

Thanks .... Brian

Is taking it apart an option?

It is Mark and I don't normally but it's coming to that ... I think it's a good wee scope

and I just know there is more to be squeezed out of it , mobile quark ect

Nor I at least I'll be able to try its quark in other configurations

Presently it would make a great wee imaging scope if so inclined
