Problems aligning with StarSense
doubledoubleswifty replied to Dave7's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Thank you! I spent a good few hours last night updating the StarSense camera, handcontroller and the mount. Took a while to figure it all out but I think I've done it. Can't wait to try it again - fingers crossed it works next time! -

Problems aligning with StarSense
doubledoubleswifty replied to Dave7's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Hi Dave7, Just wondering if you managed to solve the problem? I recently bought the same telescope and starsense and tried to use it two nights ago. Tried to use connect and align on the SkyPortal app and also kept on getting error messages. Looking forward to your reply. -

I think this book should be quite good for a 10 year old StarFinder For Beginners - https://www.amazon.co.uk/StarFinder-Beginners-Maggie-Aderin-Pocock/dp/0241286832 -
I'd like to know as well!

First Telescope
doubledoubleswifty replied to Blackware's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Hi East Lancs! I've got a SkyWatcher 250PX; I'm finding it a bit bulky so I'm quite keen to get something to "grab and go". So quite interested in other technologies/different telescopes available out there. How do you find your SW GTi 127 compared to your XT10i? -

If the power runs out - is it possible to manually push/pull the telescope? -
Hello, I have a Sky-Watcher 250PX (10 inches) and still quite a beginner to astronomy. I was having a look at FLO's website and wondered how would it compare to a SCT/MCT. For example https://www.firstlightoptics.com/se-series/celestron-nexstar-8se.html or https://www.firstlightoptics.com/maksutov/skywatcher-skymax-180-pro.html Would the views be much different on a SCT/MCT? Thank you!
