Hello,
I acquired an ODK10 from an German Observatory for a very good price and received it today. It’s used and has seen better days, but I want to see if I can make it work.
Mechanically it looks OK and the Observatory fixed the weird unstable cork ring which made the primary wobble and tilt. It is more stable, but not 100% fixed in my opinion, but I will take this on later.
Before I decide if I want to invest time and money into it, I want to check the collimation and mirror spacing with a ronchi eyepiece under the stars. I am currently searching for more information or a drawing of the ODK10 design to have a reference.
Unfortunately the observatory did not send any documents, which is okay because they have the scope for ages.
Maybe there are ODK10 users which can help out? Do you have any manuals or drawings of your scope? I checked the OOUK website, but could not find anything related.
I might try out to contact OOUK directly or an OOUK dealer here in Germany, but I don’t expect much over the next christmas days.
Thank you.
Regards
