Jaymon74 Pillar of the Community United States 844 Posts	Posted 03/13/2011 11:14 pm Hello all! I just ordered a Carson zOrb. Should be here Thursday. I was wondering what are your likes and dislikes of the zOrb if you own one. I was reading some past threads and only saw one or two dislikes about it. I saw where it was said that two out of three of the L.E.D.s had burned out? I thought those were supposed to last like a million hours or something? Also, doesn't it come with two stands? Why would anyone need to make a stand for it? Will be glad to hear your input on the Carson zOrb! Report this Post to the Staff

mcshilling Pillar of the Community Canada 9173 Posts	Posted 03/14/2011 6:59 pm I agree with Fatboy, I took a small piece of tape and covered 3 lights and still get reflection.Plus you can only do .01-.05-and .10 as a hole coin. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/14/2011 8:02 pm Sorry for the really bad pics but you will get the idea.I use a Celestron 44302 and had to cover five of the six leds with rubber caps painted black with a marker http://i517.photobucket.com/albums/...IMG_2919.jpg I then made a filter out of a piece of lens cleaner tissue http://i517.photobucket.com/albums/...IMG_2921.jpg I took the inside tube of an ink pen and wrapped a piece of the tissue I cut to the width of the led bulb then pinched one end of it and taped it with frosted scotch tape,and tada a light filter http://i517.photobucket.com/albums/...IMG_2920.jpg Works fine for me,hopes it helps you.

Jaymon74 Pillar of the Community United States 844 Posts	Posted 03/16/2011 11:54 am Thank you for the replies. I'll have to play with mine a bit and see what I can do. Isn't here yet, but it's Wed. If I have to, I'll make the light filter. It has to be better than my Kodak EasyShare. Don't get me wrong, with some help I was able to get fairly descent pics. I just can't get the really up close detail that I sometimes needed. Once I get the zOrb, I'll post some random pics and you all can give some critique. If you will? Thanks again for the replies!
