  1. Hi all! i am looking around for adapters to mount an EQ6 to a pier. This one looks promising: https://www.geoptik.com/en/prodotto/adapter-for-eq6/ Does anybody have experience with that unit? Best, U.
  2. I was thinking about entering a cloud video in the nifty 50 challenge
  3. Daystar Instruments QUARK - H-Alpha ? Wow. Pretty expensive hardware... have lots of fun 👍🏻
  4. FWIW, there might be a 3-hour cloudless window tonight - fingers crossed!
  5. I have been thinking about some sort of protection film being slowly moved across the dome... like they had in the formula one cameras
  6. how are you going to keep the plastic dome clean?
  7. Hi @DeannaRose and welcome from rainy Central Europe!!
  8. alright, let's go... this is a bit stupid, but... well, i got a new lens exactly one year ago. A sigma 150-600 tele. Its performance is better than my grab and go TS70, at least photography wise. Then, i realised that if i buy a new camera every 10-12 years, i could only buy 2-3 cameras before i join my forefathers. So i immediately got my a canon eos rp. One year later (!), i finally realize that the rp's performance uncooled is considerably better than my stone age qhy8's performance cooled. So here i present you my only terrestrial used hardware that's probably better for astrophotography than my astro gear 🤔
  9. @Rusteddont dismantle your obsy, it's the coolest we got on this forum!!!
  10. I'm afraid there's not a lot of demand for souls but have you thought about a kidney? 😇

    Hi from Devon

    Welcome! 👍🏻
  12. fingers frozen to the binos... that's what i call determination👍🏻
  13. You#re absolutely right; i added the word consistent for that but i didnt put it in the heading---
  14. OMG what artillery have you mounted? A big bertha probably
  15. Yes, there was a small window of about 1,5 hours over here too, but as my son is here this weekend, i needed some qualitity time with him. Also my eq-6 mount head is so heavy that i dont like to setup for such a short time - you are absolutely right, a quick setup is so important!!
  16. 100kg? Wow, what kind of artillery are you going to get😲?!
  17. Hi all, i just read on mounts that - the usual seeing limits us to about 2 arcseconds anyway, and - only expensive mounts can get down to or below consistent .5 arcsec even if guided. Out of curiousity, which mounts would that be? I am getting with my eq-g / eq6 around 2 arcsec with stretches as low as .7 and as high as 3.0 ...
  18. its even worse when the target is straight up in the zenith...🤔
