  1. Thanks for the tip. It was only a few frames at f2, 30 seconds. I will try again from darker skies (if I can stop the lens from dropping down all the time due to the weight)
  2. I tried Orion at 200mm but I think my skies are a bit bright. Either that or I have done something wrong with stacking as each individual frame is fairly dark.
  3. Has anybody got any good results from this little mount/scope on planets with a barlow lens? Wondering if it would track well for this? The 127 is a lot heavier im assuming, how did they get on?
  4. Thanks happy-kat. If its freezing outside, and if I cant be bothered to go through star aligning on a goto. Like you say just plonk down, level and point to roughly where you think polaris is. I was wondering if a goto scope can track in the same way as the virtuoso or if you have to go through the star alignment (assuming you know where things are to look at) every time? Trying not to go off topic too much...
  5. Just a question as I was thinking about getting the 90mm mak version. Would this scope be quicker and an easier process to quickly get tracking than a goto telescope? That I can get webcam images of the planets? Looking for something small, light and quick to get going.
  6. Happy-Kat- Ive been discussing the issues with another user at length about the alignment issues. I just wanted to know if the scope the OP here purchased was an upgrade on what I have and if it fitted in with what I want it for. I nearly bought an slt mount and handset for this scope (114gt) but it has a different kind of dovetail fitting. The reason for wanting an upgrade was being able to photograph objects using prime focus and not having the alignment issues and bugs in the non upgradeable handset.
  7. Was thinking about getting one of these. Needing something light weight/compact with the ability to photograph some detail on Saturns rings, Jupiters gas bands and also for moon photos. Using a digital camera or web cam. Is it a good scope in this regard? Would it be a viable upgrade on my 114gt that has alignment issues.
