Tasco imports binoculars with magnifications ranging between seven and ten power. Tasco's telescopes tend to be referred to as "department store telescopes" and low-cost instruments targeted at impulse buyers. It is one of several companies advertising their products based on claims of high magnification, far beyond any attainable usable magnification. Tasco's telescopes have a reputation as entry-level equipment. I am somewhat excited about getting this scope tuned up and working.Department store 50 mm Tasco Specialty Refractor on modified mount (lower left) and a 114mm Sky-Watcher reflector. I will be learning a lot with this little scope project. When I get the 1.25 focuser do I need to get a larger secondary mirror? I noticed my Celestron secondary (D4.5) is about twice the size as the Tasco's secondary. ![]() I was thinking about flocking the tube also since I have it all apart. ![]() Would I want to put one on this mirror? I understand how you trace the mirror and cut and fold the template procedure. I did buy a Orion laser colimator and have the round collimation stickers. I do not have a center mark on it for collimation. It went very smooth and the mirror looks flawless. Mirror cleaning is on the bottom half of that page. Than about 10-15mm in the mirror was real hazy looking. When I took out the mirror and had a good look at it I noticed the towards the outer area of the mirror it was nice and clean. I wanted to make sure there was no rust situations going on. I did disassembled the entire scope to get every little piece of dust out of all the hardware. I looked for that Celestron focuser but was unable to locate one. Should I just get one from Orion? Thanks for looking and comments. I assume I need to buy one for this size diameter tube. Here are some pics of the mount and scope.Īny suggestions on a focuser for 1-1/4 EPs? I have no idea about doing this. I think it is a pretty good deal for 60.00 what do you think? Other than dropping money on a new focuser and making a pier mount it seems pretty good. As I said I do not have a mount like this and I really wanted to get one. She said It has been stored in some bags most of its life. It also came with 2 EPs that has H12.5mm Japan and H6mm Japan printed on the top. The zoom EP and the barlow are about 9 inces long when put together. It also has a 2x Tasco barlow and a Tasco Zoom Eyepiece model #6621. It did come with an extra finder scope and finder scope mount. It does have that small eyepiece focuser. The tube has very minimal scuff marks that I would not even call scratches. The crinkle paint finish looks brand new actually. The mount has a tag on the bottom that says "Japan". I can make some little solid pier mount at work to make it real solid. In good condition though for being that old. The legs are wooden and need some minor hardware.
