Celestron Sky Qlink
northwalesparry replied to Neiman's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Yes , you need to download the celestron app Sky portal on Android or iOS. It's really simple to use , look on you tube for celestron WiFi adapter videos . One thing it doesn't tell you is that if you are using your phone , switch off your data otherwise you will have connection problems . Otherwise its simple just plug in the Qlink into the mount and connect your phone to its WiFi signal . -
What eye pieces would you recommend for a 8inch SCT. I mainly look at star clusters and dso's . Any advice would be greatfull.

Which mount? And why?
northwalesparry replied to northwalesparry's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
I was looking at celestron c9.25 SCT. Reason for my question is that the skywatcher looks to be a better mount . -
Looking into getting a new mount . Which one on these would you choose and why? Skywatcher heq5 pro goto. Or Celestron VX go to mount. Both are around the same price.

Thanks for your reply , I think 8se too. Only because it's more portable and takes up less storage space . -

I'm not sure if the focal reducer can be use visually or not either or is it for AP only . So will the star diagonal connect to the focal reducer? . Sorry if that's a dumb question , tried searching the web can't find anything.
