The potentiometers could be read by an Arduino. The actuators for the control surfaces could also be controlled by the Arduino. The code could be simple, a loop constantly reading the potentiometers an controlling the actuators.

A simpler way to check your diagonal. I pointed mine at my white computer screen and wooden desktop. Compare it with the view from your naked eye. It should be almost indistinguishable. The one I had that came with the telescope slightly dimmed the screen and turned the brown desktop almost grey. I bought an SvBONY dielectric and couldn't tell the difference between my eye and looking through the diagonal.

The improved is vision is also each eye playing off it's strengths. As each eye is not equal in all categories. For a fact my one eye sees some color more vivid while the other is sharper. I finally had success with a linear binoviewer on my 12" dobsonian.

I purchased one of these after watching your review a couple of years ago and it's been a reliable, fun and quality little telescope. Thank you for your perspective and wisdom. Even as a newbie, I would have dismissed it and missed out on a worthwhile piece of equipment.

I was intrigued to hear of "the peroxide valve moving off its rubber seat" during discussion of the 25-tonne valve and how it operates. I would have thought that putting rubber in contact with 80% HTP would result in a vigorous fire... perhaps some special oxidation-resistant synthetic rubber was used?

I'm guessing that you've got a very very big speed bump in the bonnet/hood? You'll have to cut a hole in the roof to see over it! And don't forget to upgrade your brakes - getting it rolling quickly is one thing- stopping it is another; and I don't think you'll want to use the V2's method of slowing down! KR RJD A&NTV

I recently acquired a TAL-150PM scope. Wonderful piece of equipment. I lost the power control unit and the hand help controller for the motor. Any ideas on where I can get these, or is there an aftermarket replacement you can recommend.

23:38 I bought this scope a few months ago its now over £500,which is understandable considering high inflation recently but there are hidden increases to consider as the mount is now fitted with internal WIFI so no hand controller or cables and the Barlow is no longer included. I have tried to use the WIFI on my phone and tablet and found it to be frustrating and unreliable ,but luckily I had a spare handset and cable. The system works well with the hand controller, tracks well and is light enough to be a grab and go telescope and is easily lifted to differant parts of the garden. The collimation was off out of the box but this was easily rectified adjusting the secondary.

Law 4: Avoid Newtonian telescopes less than 100mm of aperture. To put into quick perspective, i have seen, a terrible view but it was there, the red spot on Jupiter in a 50mm refractor telescope. I own both a 76mm Orion Space Probe ll and a 76mm Celestron Cometron, not once have i seen any detail on any planet after owning the Space Probe for 6 years, though Saturn's rings do show up fine but no Cassini Division but i have seen the Cassini Division in a 60mm refractor telescope. People argue about Refractor vs. Newtonian but ill tell you this one, those ell cheapo 70mm refractors full of chromatic aberration would show you much more than a Newtonian less than 114mm of aperture though with a purple tint or glow. My honest advice would be, unless you're doing astrophotography, i wouldn't buy a refractor less than 80mm or a 130mm Newtonian unless you are like me who owns 12 telescopes and enjoys comparing, the lockdowns were useful for testing but i am a half glass full, any telescope is better than no telescope, you buy what you can afford because the important thing is that you get out there and enjoy the sky because astronomy has a lot to offer just try not to get too bogged down with all the options. My favourite scopes are my SvBony 550 80mm apo refractor and the Skywatcher 150mm Virtuoso Newtonian telescope but we are all different, my Skywatcher Explorer 8inch doesn't get used because its huge, the the Zhumell 100mm is great for ultra portability, my Skywatcher Heritage 130p Newtonian is also a great telescope but doesn't get used after buying the 150mm and all the others are now there for comparison.

I picked up a used DS2090. Autostar isn't accurate despite 2 star setup so I gave up on it. The tripod is too low for a long tripod. Also, it shakes too much when focusing. Moved the scope to a Celestron Heavy Duty Alt/AZ mount which is steadier.

Hi. The turbopump (TP)? No, pressurised propellant tanks are also an efficient way to drive the liquids into the combustion chamber of an LPRE. But depending on the size and intended use of the missile, the point where the tanks get too thick and heavy (to withstand the necessary pressure) cuts in, and the TP becomes a more weight-efficient solution.
