I would of liked more information on smartphone astrophotography I can take good pictures of the sun but at night I cannot get anything. Tried Saturn and Jupiter the other night no joy again.

How did you get that apart I want to do the same as you with the Leds please. Paul

Nearly every one of those won't hold my weight so I have had to do with makeshift ones.

I have these, I have just bought the Collapsible one for the weight capacity. I got the ironing chair for £2 it had no back on it I need to make a better back rest.

Wow just Wow

That is a good idea if I need another one I could do this I use two on my 4" so if I have to use two on the 5" this would be a cheaper option and because its an extra one I wouldn't need it to go all the way around so thanks for that.

Sent for one of these thanks for the link brilliant with postage £13

Yes 45cm is too short unfortunately.

They are all 12v I have already got a 12v one but dont want trailing cables I want to be able to wrap the cable around the scope and plug it into my pawer pack.

They are 12v Mike I want 5v (USB) so I can use a power bank to power them.

Can any body tell me where I can purchase a 5v at least 50cm long dew band to fit my 5" scope please.

A warm welcome to SGL

I will as soon as I get clear skies.

I didn't know this did until it arrived.

Going to try this.

Just sent for one going to take a punt on it for £23 cannot complain thanks for the link. Paul

Have you got a link to yours Mark please. Paul

What a great night I was going to buy a Mak when I started but settled on a 150p I would really like to have a look through one though. Thanks for posting great read thanks.

A warm welcome to SGL

For someone who is over 20st would anyone recommend one of these.

Peter I did not even see the title I just read the post my mistake I need to take more care. Paul

Found this site when looking for 5v dew bands particularly a 52cm one. Well I ordered one came the next day unfortunately it was the wrong size contacted them on their webpage I was told to post it back give my Paypal account and they would refund the postage. They have now received it back and are posting the right size back, this has only took 3 days for the turn around and I have had contact all the way through great customer care would recommend this supplier.

First what mount are you using, Second are you polar aligning the mount first and levelling the mount. If you have a android device download this app from here it was on google play no idea why they took it off. https://synscaninit-2.soft112.com/ Once levelled and polar aligned and all information has been put in, select 1,2 or 3 star alignment the first star will be out just use the handset to centre it using the right and top button last (helps with backlash) then proceed to the next star will be closer centre that as before. Now you can go to your first object or go to the 3rd star this should track fairly well as long as you started from scope up weights down position.

A Ioptron AZ pro so its easier for me set up not carrying a hefty mount or power supply.
