OK I'm new to collimation but I've found the easiest way to check your laser is in collimation is pop into your focuser and just kiss up tight the two screws ,check there is no slop but you can turn the laser, looking into the front of your scope at the laser dot revolve the laser if you dot stays bang on position its good to go, if your dot wounders your laser is off centre and needs collimation. Simple but quick check.

Thank you.

Quick newbie question, do newton telescopes have a front glass or are they open ? Wonder about dust prombles in use .

I'm just starting out but tonight I got orion nebula with my phone on my binoculars

Absolutely.

Again thanks for replying, I uninstalled the app but then installed pro and connected in a spit second! Thanks for your time gents.

These screen shots show the problem,

Thanks for replying gents , yes the little 90 becomes full go- to with the dongle or handset , as I said I'm connected to the dongle and then go to app and press connect which again see,s the WiFi but thats when it fails and gives the message about mount mode ? Its at this very last stage of connection .

I have a skywatcher heritage 90 and just added a wifi dongle , have synscan app on android and connected to dongle , open app and it see,s my dongle but try to connect and fails with message " can not detect mount mode " ( az selected) any ideas ? Thanks in advance.
