I accidentally used a dry Q-tip to try and clean the glass on the camera. I accidentally touched the glass and it got a giant smudge. The glass was making weird sounds, so I stopped. I then proceeded to look up online if q-tips can scratch my glass, and I saw that lenses can be scratched by dry q-tips. Am I screwed?

I've been looking for telescope mounts that can track the sky, and I've decided on the EQ6-R Pro. However, before I buy it I just want to make sure that my telescope will actually fit on the mount. My telescope is the Celestron Inspire 100AZ. According to their website, it uses a CG-3 dovetail bar. I've tried looking on a multitude of websites to check if the EQ6-R Pro supports CG-3, but none of them mention it.

Hi, I'm trying to start out in astrophotography with a Nikon D3100, however it keeps showing an error. I'm using the Celestron Inspire 100az using a t-ring and t-adapter. Anytime I try to look at the live view, it shows an error that usually says "Press Shutter Release again." Is there any way to fix this?
