  1. Many thanks all really appreciate the information I also have to work as well so having something that I can quickly setup is a boon to me especially as my wife would no doubt be very unhappy about me leaving an EQ mount in the house. I have a very secure garage by the house but wasn’t sure about the camp I guess I can put a tarpaulin on. Sorry quick question the HEQ 5 is lighter in believe and would accommodate a WO 81 Air guides open etc but if I wanted I go to something like 120 -130 focal length apo the. Not sure if this would be able to cope with the weight correct?
  2. Hi all having thoughts around extra spend for AM5 over EQ6 pro or lighter HEQ 5 mounting WO 81 probably not going to go up past 130 in future I would say in terms of apo so was wondering if worth it as I heard the skywatcher mounts a heavy and though I do not plan on doing loads travel its more about being able to lift and shift as not able to leave setup anywhere at home in house.
  3. Nice to see some locals hope weather improves 😀
  4. many thanks for the advise can you advise how to navigate there please ?
  5. Very informative looking to get some for my new setup so helps
  6. Great photo I'm still learning and this helps
  7. Looking at the AsiAir myself as well little confused as to when u add the calibration frames I know you can create outside of the autorun sequence if there website or tutorial somewhere as have no idea when u setup the whole night sequence
  8. Hello all from kent not sure if any members in the Weald area at all
  9. Astrobin great source for seeing what the various scopes can see
  10. Hi there a good start as well is something like SkySafari and good pair of binos or a 2nd hand telescope that way yo get to know the sky a little and see before outlaying too much. Celestron Aspire as an example
  11. I find SkySafari brilliant for not only navigating to but finding out about the deep sky targets such as M31 rise and set times etc
  12. https://darksitefinder.com/ A good source
  13. Entry level SkyWaychers around 80mm would be a good start Sky-Watcher StarQuest-102R f/4.9 Achromatic Refractor Telescope
  14. welcome i am not long a member of this as well great bunch pf very helpful people
  15. How often is this required. I know the Rowan as a lot of efficiency but in terms of durability
  16. From my experience little that it is shows that the field of view is impacted look here http://astronomy.tools/calculators/ccd_suitability
  17. Sounds like SkySafari is a better way to go than use the native ASIAIR then ?
  18. I read that if ZWOs such as the 294 have amp glow then Dark Frames a must
