Beginner help with using scope.
CozyScaley replied to mrjaffa's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Puzzled, as it works ok for me. Try this one http://www.astro-baby.com/astro_baby_DIY_astronomy_articles.htm. If that doesn't work, do a google for astro-baby.com Then go to the "Projects & DIY" articles. -

I'm going to follow Astro Baby's project and add a tube ring. http://www.astro-baby.com/articles/rotating%20rings/Rotating%20Rings%20Project.htm -
It runs on a very old laptop that I have, but there's 'triangular type' images round every star. I believe it's because the graphics chip isn't up to the job.

When I polar aligned my scope (SW130m), I found it was no where near what it should be (53d 34m), for my location. I just assumed that the scale was misaligned and ignored it.

Do I need to polar align???
CozyScaley replied to Ashleyfrog's topic in Getting Started With Observing
Exactly. Should have made myself a bit clearer. -

CozyScaley replied to Ashleyfrog's topic in Getting Started With Observing
I sank 3 bricks into the lawn; levelled the tripod & marked where the legs sat (during daylight, I hasten to add). Then did a polar align so I just have to take the rig out and plonk it on the marks. -

Good grief! So that's what it's for. -
No problems at all with it, on my Win 7 64bit PC.

And I bought one a month ago at £25.

This my first attempt at the moon, using SW130m + Canon EOS40D. 5 shots photomerged.

Will BYE work on a 64 bit Win 7 OS?

What should I consider when purchasing a DSLR
CozyScaley replied to Elm0's topic in Getting Started With Imaging
I would have thought, given your budget, that you should look at the second hand Canon DSLR market.
