Help please

Post by axlefoley »

Can someone hold my hand and leed me to a link on stage 1 and stage 2 PST mod, I have a Bresser 100/1000 donor scope.

I know that Ken "Merlin66" will be helping me with the mod like he is helping me with a few other things at the moment but I would like to read up on the mods.

A good starting point is to get Ken to email you his guide. There are numerous posts here in the mod section on what to do, best thing is to just have good nose around in here.

Hi Alan

good luck on the mod. With such a nice donor scope it should be an easy task if you can reach the position -200mmm FL with the first lens


Only stardust in the wind, some fine and some less fine scopes, filters and adapters as well. Switzerland 47 N, 9 E, in the heart of EUROPE :)

from 7 am - 7 pm http://www.nanosys.ch

from 7.01 pm - 6.59 am http://www.wastronomiko.com some times vice versa ;)
