One day Walter!
Thanks guys, I'm going to try using the Paramount MX this time, it might make the eyepiece height too slow. I used the CGE Pro last time so this should give a good idea of which mount is better for this set up.

Re: 1/4: Santa Monica Pier Outreach
Here are some pictures. I tried the Paramount MX this time, while the mount worked perfectly I think I will stick with my CGE Pro. The Pro puts the eyepiece height of the scopes at a more usable spot for the refractors.

Just a bad shot. She was switching scopes and was squinting because she didnt have her sun glasses on. Everyone had a great time though and enjoyed viewing.

Re: 1/4: Santa Monica Pier Outreach
Gotta put some miles on that scope! Have two major events coming up in Feb. and April as well.
That would deb my buddy Al. He wanted to give his 6D a try. We ended up getting busy so we went right back to visual.
I will probably take the Coronado out today to image with during lunch.
