It will likely end up as my lightest grab and go as the mount it is attached to in the picture rides on a photo tripod, and both the scope and tripod fit into a bag together. This scope is really too much for a finder, though I did use it while observing at the Salton Sea with Matt. It looks like overkill, but actually helps with the balance. I added a more than necessary red dot finder that I had bought cheap somewhere along the way. ScopeStuff, however, removed the lip on the adapter for a small fee, and this gave me the focal length I desired – I can focus with my glasses on or off! The adapter attaches to the diagonal barrel with a couple of inset hex screws, which works perfectly. It would be zero clearance with an EP but since I was attaching a diagonal, it added 1-2mm. I found a 2″ to 1.25″ adapter at ScopeStuff that was almost zero clearance. I found a prism diagonal with a lower profile EP holder, but was still not quite satisfied. I also found that the tube was butting up against the inside of the 2″ barrel, so I shortened that a bit (and at this point it barely touches, which is the best length to have), but I was still not satisfied. The SCT focuser has a 2″ EP holder on it, and I used the shortest 2″ to 1.25″ adapter I could find, but was still in need of a couple mm in length. I tested this out, and it was almost short enough to focus, but not quite. I found a second one that had a lower outer profile, and it actually nestles inside the focuser barrel so that the 2″ adapter and focuser are mated with no additional length. I had to buy a M-M ring to mate it to the focuser, and the first one I tried didn’t quite work. I had a 2″ adapter with SCT threads from my previous experimenting. It was far to long to use the original F10 objective, but since I had the F11 objective I decided to give it a try. The SCT focuser ended up to be a lot larger than I had thought it would be. Somewhere along the way in this project I also bought a used SCT focuser off of Cloudy Nights. I also had a spare kit, originally bought for my son, but he lost interest. I had modified my daughter’s GS with this kit, and it worked perfectly well with a Stellarvue diagonal w/helical focuser. This is the ideal solution, but it is likely very difficult to find one at this point. With this longer focal length objective, a diagonal will work in the GS without shortening it. Part of the kit was a new, F11, objective. When the Learning Encounters site ( ) was functional, they carried a diagonal kit, with which you could construct your own diagonal to go with your Gallileoscope. There is actually one other way to solve the Galileoscope focal length issue. To see how David got from the stock GS to this, see the previous posts in this series. But having used it in the field, I can tell you that David’s monster GS is both a potent observing tool and a real pleasure to use. Do not be a victim of those hackers who only intend to ruin all you invested for your character.The moment you’ve all been waiting for–I would be shocked if anyone, anywhere, ever, has put this much time, thought, experimentation, and additional gear into their GS. One thing is for sure, all these hacking gold or r-coin schemes are bunches of fakes. And since bitcoin mining is too popular today, most of hacking tools also has script that will automatically mine bitcoin using your computer which is connected to the internet and will only benefit the creator of it and not you. Other tools have hidden scripts like viruses, malwares and more. In the end, you are the one that is going to be hacked by the creator of that tool. Most of the time these hacking tools contain key loggers that will only detect your own Ran Online user name and password. If you downloaded a hacking tool saying that it can hack billions of gold and put it in your character, then, do not try it at all because it won't work. But I will tell you straight, that when you find some tutorials about these so-called hacking processes, do not bite into it because all of these are fakes. Some desperate players will try to search online about how to hack gold in Ran Online or how to hack R-coins. But if you are really a hardworking one, your effort will payoff in the near future. This will also take so much time and effort, after all, farming is not that easy and earning stones, special items, and then converting these to items that other players will buy will take time. I still think that you can level up your character without spending money by farming, but you need more than one character to be able to this. Items in Ran are expensive, especially the items on their website's shop. Playing Ran Online is totally for free but if you will not going to go further the line and set your mind that you will just play for free then, expect that your character will just be a "cancer" of the Ran Online World.
