My next step was probably the scope upgrade after reading about chromatic aberration.

Thanks for all the comments.

Hi yeah, my thinking was, (as I usually use my Nikon P1000 for the Moon) I would get the same as I got with my 130 Newtonian.

I was looking at the Mosaic feature of the Asiair Plus, The FOV is tighter on the moon so would get better results for each part of the mosaic?

Have I got this completely wrong lol, very new to this and the camera I picked up cheap.

Also want to look at DSO but not read enough yet.

The gudie is actually as sturdy as the dovetail as it's bottomed out, I'm looking to remove the pastic winder with just a small bolt and also remove the bottom end of the L bracket on the guide scope and mount at yellow arrow.

Think i dont need them as further reading mentions for DSLR cameras?????

Hi

I have recently put this together, i hear mentions of flattners and reducers, yes im a newbie and have no idea.

Do you think i will need one?

Can anyone recommend one?

Many thanks

Any comments appreciated.

TIA

Update:

Not sure if the wrong parts were sent (no instructions etc) but could not see any way possible for this to fit the crayford dual speed focuser.

Then looked at fixings supplied withe ZWO EAF and there was no need for any other brackets.

Worked straight out of the box.

Will have to return the buckeyestargazer bracket, waste of time.

Hi I just purchased the BUCKEYESTARGAZER bracket to go on my dual speed crayford focuser.

Does anyone have any links to videos as to how this goes together please.

For a simpleton please lol 

TIA

i should of said from the start i am lookig at being sat in a middle of a field with no home network lol

Will be nice when i finally get it sorted. it's to replace all this razzmajazz lol 🙂

could it be a PI/APPLE thing?

I've tried different blu stacks etc to try and comm but no joy, looks like an android tab with 5g cell i guess, some have suggested turning on airplane mode but this just switches wifi off so yeah i will get there and i know android 13 is quite new so someone will hopefully find a work round

Ipad is old and a mini 2 so cant even run the newest version hence why i want my new android up and running, but the old version on ipad works lol but i know this is prob an apple thing as they seem to have a lot of these things lol (to keep us buying the brand, make it not compatible lol)

yeah it deosn't pops up straightaway on ipad, very frustrating lol

Dont get me wrong i appreciate your time and responses

So other than location there is no reliance on internet connection for the asiair, yes i know,, i just want to be able to do the same as what i can using my ipad which works fine in this configuration.

I get the hotspot and can connect and still watch tv sat in the middle of a field lol

The phone is purely for the internet( ie its my home network) why wouls asiair [put a station mode if you think its not needed? just asking, i have a dedicated android tablet which doesn't have celllular, thus why i need to use hotspot and station mode.

for location etc and also other apps that bridge need wifi as well and why wouldn't you want internet with wifi?

i want to use the iphone as though it was the wifi extender as so when not at home i get internet access as well.

Like i said every combination works i have no issue connecting to the asiair, its when i want to use the hotspot for when im not at home ?

It needs to be in station mode so its the same as running as if i was at home with wifi

Yes the Asiair is in station mode connected to the iphone hotspot, i connect the android tab to the iphone network but the app wont see the asiair.

Not even when using the IP

I am trying to use my iphone 15 as a hotspot, if i use an ipad everything is fine, i can set the asiair to station mode and it all connects.

How ever if i use an andrid tablet instead of the ipad the app will not pickup the asiair, as soon as i use ipad its fine again.

Even if i manually add the IP the app will not see the asiair using the android app.

The android is using the latest android 13 and the iphone and asiair are at the latest updates.

I wanted a dedicated android device to run the asiair Plus and use my iphone as i have unlimited data package.

Note: using home wifi there is no issue with the android app seeing the asiair plus, its definately something to do with android app and iphone hotspot.

TIA for any info
