Like as been said it depends on your perspective, imagine you are standing out in space with no stars, you know that your feet are down and your head is up but the space around you has no up or down left or right

Great image, and only5 min 👍

First thing I would advise is look at the zwo see star 50 and some of the images taken with it. It might be a good option,it's so easy to use and find lots of DSO.

Yeah there are horror stories,and a 103mm refractor is collimation free , and because of the large secondary with f4 Newtonian a 103mm will have similar light gathering power. But I think a lot of the negative side with this particular scope ( I think I know the one you mean) can be delt with by the upgrades available, particularly the secondary mounting which makes collimation less of a problem. Having said all this I'm ordering the 150 Quattro 🤗

Too right there Peter🤬

Too right there Peter🤬

As Elp said no daylight savings, also the way you enter the date I made the mistake not realizing you had to use USA format.

Ok thanks for the reply,I'm now getting the hang of it with the helpful people on S G L🤗

Thanks Paul yay... will do for me 👍

Hi I've just started using my ZWO EAF . My star size is 3.11 and 2.9 when focusing is completed. As I'm new to the eaf are these numbers good or not , hope someone can say yay or nay🤔

Great images 👍

Looks like it's vignetteing due to the 1.25 inch filter, that's my opinion other's my have some other explanation 🤔

You will only need a IR/UV filter if you have had your DSLR full spectrum modified

Thanks that will do for me🤗👏

Yeah I'm in Albir and it's been a bad month, seems to clear around 3 am here,forecast says clear next Tues Weds and Thursday, I'll wait and see.🤞

Wondering what the focal ratio was if it was on your scope 🤔

Too right totally out of order!

Clouds 🤬

Is it available to fit a Canon 750D🤔😵‍💫

Really unless you are willing to travel to a dark site we are stuck with whatever Bortel we have, whether it's 2 or 8.

Second image certainly put a new slant on it , I like it, I always say if you are happy with a image then it's ok, and to me it's ok🤗

What a great image beautiful detail,your right to be happy with the result 👏👏

This may be of interest to you regarding polar alignment, I use pole master it gets you aligned very accurately,once I have done it I am aligned and have never needed to re align ,but I check it every 6 months . My rig is permanently set up, yours might be but it doesn't take long with pole master if it's not.

Hi I have the same scope ,the way I did it was to buy a 10 mtr cable for the hand control ran this into the house , at the time I was using a Canon DSLR linked to my laptop with live view I could see the object I was imagining.This is the easiest way 📷👍

What a great image and you got detail in M31 plus that reflection of the comet in the lake . Outstanding 👍🌠
