  1. I used it on my EQ5 Pro goto it worked really well although I use android I believe it can be a bit tricky with ios. I had to tell my phone to forget my home wifi as your phone searches for strongest signal the dongle kept dropping from the mount until I did the forget the wifi then it worked brilliant. I went back to the handset as my mount wasn't that accurate, I sent it away to be tuned and actually forgot about the dongle until a friend mentioned it so sold it to him.
  2. Cheers for that appreciate your help I would never of thought about spindle size.
  3. I put one of these on a Skywatcher 200p many years ago I have a Celestron 10" Starsense now and would like to know if this would fit, from looking at the focuser it does look like a Crayford focuser just want to make sure before I get one.

    Brilliant John I'm hoping to get out Wednesday night but I doubt I will get views like these with my 4" Refractor.
  5. I regret buying the 10" celestron starsense its too heavy for me with my spine. I have had it up for sale for months I'm going to use the money for a easier mount something like a Ioptron AZ pro I believe I can make it fit my EQ5 extension tube so I can easily use my F10 refractors. Once I have saved up I will look for a carbon fibre tripod with a extension.

  11. I used this when the rings were to big for my 5" Refractor You can get non adhesive ones.
  12. As long as the secondary is in the right place (small mirror) you will only need to tweak your primary (big mirror), if you don't drop or bang the tube you should not need to touch the secondary again.

  15. Only seen it once which was early last year with my 5" Meade refractor with a barlowed 6mm and putting Sirius just out on the edge of the FOV. I wish I had not sold that now, 1 of two of the biggest mistakes of my astronomy hobby.
