Hello and welcome.

Tried again but no option coming up. The issue is still language.

Hello and welcome.

I give up! It all went ok until I tried to run the exe to instal - the option to keep my settings and apps was not available. I had used US english version as suggested.

Well nothing seems to work now. Rufus shows this:

Nothing happens whatever I click on.

I hit a snag with this. I tried to download the ISO file but there wasn't an option for English UK only English US or International. When I came to run the exe file to instal it said that, as the language was different, my apps would be deleted so I cancelled.

How do I find an ISO file with English UK as the language?

Why do you want to install Windows 11? Some reviewers say it isn't that great.  At least two of my machines will not upgrade to Windows 11 (reported incompatible), and I don't care.

Because W10 will come to an end at some point.

My desktop will not update to Windows 11 allegedly because of the CPU.

I have a 2.70 Gh Intel Core i5-6400 multi core (4) and 32G RAM which, to me, seems more than adequate for W11 but the OS will not update to Windows 11 normally.

I was wondering about altering the register to allow the update BUT is this a good idea? What on-going issues am I likely to get and is it worth it anyway?

Good luck.

What about an Astrozap dust cover?

Hello and welcome.

Tried the scope in earnest last night (first real chance).

Whilst there is a bit of an issue in the corners, it's not much and easily cropped out. The stars in general look much better I think.

Hello and welcome.

Not sure it would be worth it once you add on 20% import taxes.

Hello and welcome.

Now that most street lights are LED, I'm wondering if light pollution filters are still needed as I was under the assumption that they only filter out the old orange sodium lights?

IDAS D2 filters are useful for LED lights.

Welcome back. Just proves what I already thought about anti-social media.

Can you not get longer exposures? You will only see the blue nebulosity with much longer subs.

Also consider the ASI662.

Hello and welcome.

Really good. Too low for me to get.

Well done for not giving up - I think I would have. We all get nights like that.

Hello and welcome. If that's your first image then well done you.

Using a Bahtinov - chose a bright star near your target and adjust focus until it looks symmetrical, then slew to your target without touching the focuser again.
