Bloody hilarious. Have 2 boys who were once told “hey! No light sabres by the telescope!” by their mum. In all seriousness, a random smacking of the keyboard will bring up more ‘dangerous’ material than this on a browser for the kids to try and emulate.

Hello Mariosi! I have always enjoyed your sketches; they are exactly as I see the objects. I have been observing Venus and trying to convince myself that I can see cloud details through my 130mm f/7 triplet. Have you sketched Venus? Please keep posting and stay safe!

Is this the death of the Powertank

I use that unit on my Orion Az/Eq6 in Alt/Az mode. The mount holds a C11 and 130mm f7 triplet. Both have a 2” diagonal and eyepiece. The battery powers the mount for around 5-6 hours without problems. -
Show us your Solar Observing Equipment
Moon Watcher replied to paulastro's topic in Observing - Solar
Hello Sunshine, the tuner should have some grease on it to make an air-tight seal. Only then will you be able to pressure tune your view. There should be a reasonable amount of resistance as you tune and the view should change from a detail-less red ball through to surface detail and then prominences and flares. Good luck!
