Thanks Dave Anyone else using the Adventurer who would care to offer advice on the minimum tripod to use? Thanks Alec

I know some have posted on here previously, but can any users of the Skywatcher Star Adventurer advise me if there are any tripods under about £50 that will cope with the full Adventurer, plus EQ mount, plus Canon 550, plus lens?? Many thanks for feedback, just taken delivery of the Adventurer and want to get it working. The Tripod needs to be of manageable weight to take on holidays involving aircraft. Alec

PHD Guiding Basic Use and Troubleshooting

Having used a ZWOASI camera to guide using PHD I am soon to take delivery of a Starlight Xpress filter wheel with a SX off axis guider attached. Will PHD run this guider? Thanks -

My first and best effort yet. Just make out the horsehead. Next step is to get drift alignment and guiding sorted so I can leave the camera open longer! -

Same view of M13 the next night with same kit, but seems out of focus? Seeing was reasonable both nights, I thought. However, I may have taken the 0.5 focal reducer out, hence the more magnified and poor image. Comments welcome -
