Thanks for replying. Much appreciated Nicola

I’ve just received my eq6 r pro and needing to get some kinda power supply to it. has anyone tried this and can give me an indication if it’s long lasting or not or if anyone can recommend something better ? thanks https://www.rothervalleyoptics.co.uk/skywatcher-17-amp-power-tank.html

Thanks pal.

Thanks pal

Thanks pal.

Hey everyone just wondering what folks are using to keep all their accessories in? eyepieces, filters, cameras, cables etc thanns nic 🤗

Thanks pal. Ill go have a read of it the now.

Thank you, I’ll definitely look into it pal.

strangely enough, as a Mac user I struggled previously to get any software to work effectively and ended up buying a cheap Windows - that didn't work as planned due to being unable to keep up with the demands on it. Ended up purchasing Paralelles. Either way I don't mind - I have an office hub out the back and run cables from there to the scope at the moment Thanks again Nic

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm definitely aiming at the goto mount for sure. Do you have your setup connected to wifi if controlling from inside the house? if so, does it require another add on? Thanks again, your reply has most definitely been helpful Nicola

Thanks pal, I already own a f6.3r and it works really well. I think purchasing bit by bit will be more feasible rather than forking out loads of money in the one go.

Thanks pal, now just debating with myself if I get the basic model or go for the goto model lol

yeah its for imaging. I've bought myself asi533mc pro and whilst I'm by no means fantastic at it, I'm hoping that in due course ill get better lol

I guess it will make me work harder having to start from scratch again learning how to use it surely can't be that difficult? lol

was it easy to transfer onto the EQ mount?

I'm currently using Celestron 6se and had ordered a wedge for it last 6 weeks ago. Ive just called the company and they've said that due to covid and Celestron closing down their factory (covid) production of product has a massive backlog. Some customers ordered their wedge back in November and still waiting. So my next option is to see about purchasing a new mount. one that will easily hold the nextstar 6SE Thanks Nic

Wow. Cracking photo pal. It’s definitely a beauty! I’ve actually heard great feedback about the 533mc osc

Again, Thanks to everyone that’s commented. It’s great to hear different perspectives and opinions. Definitely food for thought

I live in Scotland lol. I don’t really need to say no more RE weather lol. I whilst I have an idea of budget I’m fully aware that they’re extras required to complete the set up. I had in mind 1.5k for camera then possible 500£ for extras purchased. it would be a start! I’m quite sure everyone made a start somewhere on the line and build up their kit from there 😊

To be fair, I’m keen to work on images and take my take….. isn’t that part of fun also? I personally think so myself. That way after spending the hours, getting something that’s “perfect” in my eyes reaps the benefits and job satisfaction

Thanks for your input. It’s very much appreciated so currently using mod 600D. I’ve looked at AliExpress but there’s a lot of fake items etc going though that website so I’d be rather hesitant to spend 1K with little to non cover etc. I might take another look though. Thanks

Thanks everyone for your input. Much appreciated 😊 ill ponder the next few days about it before committing myself.

I was just using 4x as a metaphor lol.

I’ve been wanting to buy a ZWO for sometime now. im more drawn to mono and I understand it’s 4 times the work etc to get the best of colours. my question is , if you have a ZWO are you using mono or colour or do you have both tried both and what’s your preferences and why? I’m prepared to spend up to £1500(ish) and ideally would like something that I can do planetary, solar and dso. so a one stop shop for all. thanks nic

Thanks pal, i managed to purchase one from Juan.
