Hi Simon, thats great, thank you for that, much appreciated.  

Hi everyone, I've just got an HEQ5 mount and tonight trying guiding, after finally setting up the ASIAIR plus to my guide camera and ZWO ASI545MC to my 400mm Canon lens, I've done all the polar alignment tracking, guiding and set it to work on M81 for an hour to practice to get familiar with it (quite a learning curve coming from an unguided Star Adventurer but one question i have is can i still use my phone for calls or texts for example or does the ASIAIR need to be connected to the in phone app all the time while imaging. sorry if this sounds obvious but i cant find a definitive answer to it.

Thanks in advance

Jamie

I had a pair of Tasco 10x50's for a couple of decades not bad i guess, also a tiny pair of praktica 7x25's and a huge pair of 10-70x80 zooms, not sure of the make?

I've also had a pair of Bushnell 12x42's very nice Bino's but they pale in comparison to my new (got em last year) Olympus 10x50 DPS-1's, compact well made and great optically
