Hello,
I am reaching out for some advice please. I am upgrading from LS50 to LS80THa SS. The scope arrives wednesday (hopefully). I want to use my Baader MK V binoviewers with Lunt 21-7mm zooms. I have GPC 1.25 & 1.75.
I have read a few posts about the hassle using BW on the LS80. I am a not very technically minded (a bear of very little brain) but would be grateful for any advice and pitfalls that anyone has come across using BW.
I have used them for many years on my nighttime SCT without any issues and kinda hope that I just connect them to the Lunt diagonal and off I go. Is this wishful thinking or realistic?
Appreciate your assistance.

I think this post might be in the wrong place so im assuming an admin will move it, but if memory serves correct, you might need a barlow to reach focus. I dont have a bino so i cannot confirm that but i remember people mentioned it before.

Thanks Simon,
As I understand it the GPC acts as the barlow. Maybe it will be OK
