It is indeed in the first link along with screen shots showing how to do it. And from inspection of the guide log that is the first issue to resolve.. -
I’ve just come in from a fantastic couple of hours observing Luna. I decided to have a go at some targets from the Lunar 100, and so glad I did - finding those little gems was really exciting and added a new dimension to lunar observing . Using my binoviewers with the 102EDR was a dream, so relaxing and easy on the eyes, they’ve really transformed my planetary and Luna (and possibly solar) viewing. Anyway tonight I managed the following targets, and please forgive my childlike sketches, not really intended for sharing, but thought they might bring the descriptions to life. Also note I haven’t researched these properly yet so I’m hoping I found the correct targets! Hortensius Domes (Lunar 65). A series of volcanic domes near the crater Hortensius. Hippalus Rilles (Lunar 54). Three very distinct and long rilles stretching across craters and mountain ranges. During the time I was observing the visibility of these features seemed to change quite a lot. Nearby was another feature - Kies Pi (Lunar 60). A volcanic dome on the edge of the crater Kies. Looking forward to the next session. Thoroughly recommend picking a few targets from the Lunar 100. 👍 -
I started putting this together for my family and kids, but then got a little carried away with adding annotations such as crater and mare names, plus other details. I thought it turned into a handy little resource (for me), and realised that others may like it too. I hope you enjoy it too, it's a collection of images I've been saving in a phone album called 'astronomy' and thought it'd be simpler to share with friends this way. It's all single image photos / single take video, so no stacking involved. The only 'post processing' is when I've changed an image in the iphone to mono, or adjusted saturation and contrast to make it more interesting. Many are straight out of the phone - some iPhone 7, some 10 and a couple iPhone 11. The kit's all very cheap: £80 for a secondhand 1990s Helios Explorer 6" with EQ3-2 type mount, a 1999 ETX-125 (which I bought second hand in 2003), plus a Skyliner 250px dob (again, second hand in 2015 for £232). Lenses are typically Plossl or those supplied with the scope. I'm in fairly good skies - some of these on the edge of a town - probably Bortle 5 and others more rural, so closer to Bortle 4, perhaps 3 on a good night. -
Started off well early evening but the seeing seemed to get worse, albeit steady. Moon light scattering everywhere, and transparency deteriorated with thin haze in waves rolling in from abut 11pm. Gave up around midnight. Spent some time on the moon, which was excellent, and had some fun double-hunting nonetheless, including some new ones for me such as Iota Cancri, Beta Mon, 57 Cancri, 38 Gem and some others. But couldn't split Rigel, and couldn't split Tegmine and couldn't see either or E or F in the Trapezium. Spent a fair bit of time with the SW150ED and starting to form some clearer views on that which I'll post elsewhere. Anyway, always better to be out under the sky without wall to wall clouds :). -
So if the target is centered in the scope or camera and that object is selected in Stellarium don't you just need to click. "Current object" then " Sync". I'm sure that's how I've worked it in the past.

Benefited from a small window of clear sky on a freezing foggy night. Tried to find the comet near Capella with my big bins and took a few snaps with my dslr on the Star Adventurer. Not convinced I spotted it so must be very faint. Will look at the images tomorrow and see what shows up.· 0 replies
