Hello Olly,i have had it inside in the heat,the first pic shows a bit of condensation in the middle which i knew about,its the outer halo that has been there from the day i received it.

Hi all,i bougjt this from a fellow member and have noticed a cloudy ring round the outer part of the lens.It lookes like it is inside,i have tried to show it in the images....any ideas what it is and cause,and could it be fixed. Paul

See it now....cracking image.

Cant see your pic...

Stunning mate.......

WOW.....i had a 12" one and loved it,still dont know why i sold it 😕,get it on Saturn.....and any globs that are about.

Nice one,is it a 10".....

This is what i do,with out any problems.I wouldnt use any cleaning fluids at all.

Got this a couple of nights ago,total of 3 hours lights ,20 bias,20 flats and processed in gimp......poorly,but happy for my non ability to process. c80ed and modded 450d.

I have loads of wow moments....but i will always remember my first real one, was probably when i was around 11 when i was bought a little 50mm Tasco telescope for christmas,now at that age i would hunt the house before christmas looking for my presents when i found the scope,it was a windy night with clouds flying past, and a moon out,so in a rush in case i was caught, i pointed it at the moon,out the bedroom window and saw craters on the moon for the first time.....that was it for me,over 40 years later the thrill is still there for this hobby.

Nice one....a proper obsy,maybe one day i will have one.

Thats the view you have described John....in the middle of the triangle of stars.

thank you now working....

Do i need to have the mount connected to do this and do i need internet...as i dont have internet in the obsy

Hello all,after a windows 10 update,i now cant connect my mount in CdC,when i try to connect i get a messsage on the eqmod page saying connect error....Port Not Available,what do i need to do now please.

You seem to have posted black print on a black background so can't read your post.

If you are going to be using the 10" you will need a substantial mount,at least a NEQ6, and that would be pushing it for AP. Used mount...£ 650. Used dslr.....£ 170. Used guide scope....£ 80. Leads and bits and pieces...£ 50. And that is just the basic things IMO.

Is the camera connected ok,and on live view.

Amazing Adam........thats a cracking image.

Hello Mark and a warm welcome mate.

I wish....lol

Not even worthy to comment on this......amazing.

My apologies......i did'nt realise that,feel like a right muppet now.

Thank you,that looks great......i actually was looking into Startools,i downloaded the free version just last night with the intention of purchasing it,would you recommend it,yes i was using an Astronomic CLS filter on a modded 450d and thank you for letting me know how you processed it,i will give it a go my self later.
