This is it all set up

Hi thanks i am using it for imaging with the 130pds and a d5600 hopefully guiding with the sw evoguide 50 and asi 120 mm-s.... Ive got the polar scope all aligned because i was imaging before the upgrade

Probably a stupid question but ill ask anyway... Ive just upgraded my eq5 and fitted it with the synscan goto upgrade kit... Now it doesnt look like i will be getting out any time soon so is there any things i can do or need to do to prepare it for when its ready to go out

+1 for skywatcher 130 its a great little scope

Hi... I will be using a d5600 with the 130pds... Which coma corrector will suit this

Thanks

Im looking at a d5600 but need to no if it works with APT

Does the nikon d5600 work on apt

Is yours currently modded?

I found that 500 doesn't get you an awful lot dedicated camera wise!

The nikon isnt modded and i cant run it through apt thats why i want to upgrade. 

Ive got a budget of 500 pound.... So do i upgrade my dlsr (nikon d3500) for another dlsr or do i upgrade to a dedicated astro camera.... I will be using it with a sw 130pds 

Ive juat rang 365 and the bottom pic is for the eq5 so ive ordered that one... All ther others from rvo and flo are out of stock.. I was just confused with the top pic saying pro and the bottom pic not saying pro

But are they both the same

Yes they are the same V3 upgrade kit.

What does the pro mean because its on one but not on the other

These... Are these both the same or are they different

Sorry im after a synscan upgrade kit for my eq5

Can anyone recommend somewhere... Rvo and flo are both out of stock of what i want thanks

I use the polar finder app to.. Decent app.... Im going to try the sharpcap pro alignment and how that goes

Hi

No need for clear sky with the simulators.

Cheers

I will try that tomorrow thanks.. All new to me this

Yes. PHD2 has a star simulator.

I dont seem to be able to find it on phd

Thank you.... Yes im running it on a laptop with phd.... Is there any way to test its all working before i set up outside or do i need to wait till its dark

This is the mess 

I received my last bit of my guiding setup but cant figure out how to setup.... My mount is the non goto eq-5 with the dual motor kit, skywatcher evoguide 50 and asi 120mm-s have i got everything i need now
