Well, there is one possibility of seeing another Planet with heavy solar filtering. It must be very close to the Sun where it can reflect the Sun's light; otherwise the filters make visibility extremely dark.
Quoting: Volar 12149525 It's amazing how clueless you are. I guess you thought that this would pass for a rational, lucid response after I bitch slapped your claim that planets couldn't be seen if you had a solar filter on the scope. Oh, yes....when I do polar alignment, I have my eyepiece and diagonal in, and it has a certain balance point. Then, after all aligned and running well, I want to add my camera, which adds significant weight on the back end, and changes the balance significantly, which forces me to move weight around. However, since I'm already aligned, I can't test the balance. I also notice that it actually changes where the scope points significantly. I assume this is because of flex in the mount. The only remedy I know is to polar align, with the camera attached, and only use the finder scope.
Quoting: VolarWrong, that is not a balance issue unique to polar alignment; adding or subtracting weight to the scope affects it regardless of whether it's polar aligned or not, nor is it the balance issue specific to that kind of telescope which is why I asked you the question. Also, on polar alignment, with the wedge, I have seen that there is a process used on my GOTO scope that doesn't require drift method. But it does this "sync" after moving the wedge around to center both objects in the east and on the meridian. I don't know how to do a sync. I've searched the manual, however, it's unclear this is possible on the LX90. Am I then left to the drift method?
Quoting: VolarKeep reading the manual, it does tell you how to sync it. One day when you actually own the telescope and need to deal with the balance issue I asked you about which is NOT covered in the manual, you'll have to learn how to deal with it on your own.
