Maxrayne started following Celestron NexStar StarSense Handset
-
Selling the above. Came with the mount but I never had the camera etc and now have the proper handset for the SE mount, as well as computer control of it. Therefore this is surplus to requirements. £75 UK mainland Inc p&p For sale elsewhere as well

...and another one - Comet Swan.

Might be worth having a look at comet C/2020 FL4 as well -

Possibly not the cleanest image of it. M51 captured with ED72, modded 450D on the SW SA. 324 x 60 seconds @ ISO 1600 plus darks/flats/bias. Stacked in DSS, cleaned up in LightRoom

Sorry, yes, you're absolutely right (was late and I'd just done a 13 hour shift.) Slewing the old fashioned way, ie by hand, lining up in the finder and guide cam and then removing the finder -

A place called Black Frame Optics. They're online and on FB. The extra cw is a little... unusual...but it works for me ? -

Slightly less than 3 hours with this setup although non guiding as it kept dumping the camera for some reason. Was getting up to 90 seconds at one point though which I'm happy with. Added an extra counterweight to help with the balance. She's a little east heavy but I'm fine with that -
I use a converted 9 x50 finderscope and ZWO ASI120 mono, if thats of any use? Cheap and cheerful and does the job quite nicely. Lightweight too

Money can't buy this kind of happiness and joy. That smile is my whole universe This is her having a blast with the Celestron Nexstar SE mount and ST102T ?

I really am. My own first ever astro photo was appallingly bad and this is a far cry from that. Seeing her so happy and pleased with herself, and seeing her enthusiasm too, isn't a feeling I can articulate (in a good way.) Literally adore her to the stars and back
