yes you cannot use the mount battery to power a dew heater

only charge a phone or tablet through the USB socket

Janet

sorry don't know I made my own using a camping mat 

and brought a dew  heater strip of eBay

Hi Janet 

to be honest I wouldn't bother with the accessory kit just get the 9.25 and get the rest as when you get more experience that's what I did when I got the evolution 6 

Mine is very quiet

I had the same problem with my celestron evolution 6 

so I put a bit of folded playing card at the back

Hi Damian just read your milling machine rebuild looks great

i also like your mini compressor just the job for painting my 

car bodies 

I built the orrery see my avatar the problems I had was getting the magazine from the supplier to my newsagent I had to wait 20 weeks to get a magazine to finish it of

and one of the planet support arms was missing so I had to buy some 3mm brass bar from eBay drill a hole in one end bend it and cut it to length has you all never again

Thanks for the link ,don't think I will be upgrading to the 9.25 just yet

Do you put the mount and tube in the bag

Neil

It travels in a padded soft case and sits nicely in the passenger foot well, I move the seat forward and the scope does not move. I used to strap it in the seat before I had the bag but there was still a risk of movement.

Neil

Well done Matt like the idea about putting a sun dial on when not in use

I have a steel tube a work that I was thinking of using

But I like yours

Neil
