Hi ton, I'm sorry, but I didn't get what did you mean by (reversing the direction till image stabilisation)? Could clear it for me? Thank you

Thanks Michael, but does backlash comes so frequently? I have such lines approximately in every 10min. Does also backlash explain the reversed directions of the stars?

Hi Happy, the cable wasn’t tight at all.

You are right, I didn’t notice it, how could it happen?

Hi James, sure. Here some of them, I will attach them as stock , not edited. Some of them are good results as a reference. Best regards,

HI David, Hmm, it may be a balance problem. I balanced it with the 2" eyepiece , then replaced them with the camera, but didn't checked the balance 😕. The weight difference wasn't that big

Your Brest and cheapest choice is the ef-s 50-250mm , they are cheap and you get a very good results after staking. But if you're planning to make DSO in future, you would by an EF lens. This image was taken with EF-S 50-250mm lenses. Best regards

Hi David, No it was a still night. No wind at all. Polar aligning was with eyeballing, it wasn't perfect. But if it was bad, how I got that good images? Good images rate was 1:3.

Hi everyone, Last night I started imaging, I took about 30 * 120sec . I tried it without Autoguiding, because my laptop didn't want to wake up 😞. Some of photos were awesome, others were with beginning trails, other with terrible trails. All of them were mixed, I mean after a good shot I got a very bad one and so on... If it was bad polar alignment I wouldn't get any good shots, if it was good , then why I'm getting the bad one? Any ideas why would that come from? Best regards,

Thanks everyone, That's actually a good idea, the concrete costs isn't the biggest problem, but the adapter cost (Around 140€ for eq6), my budget is on limits, so any save if possible are always welcome. I may fix the adapter on the top and make it removable, if I want to upgrade out in future or if I want to go out of town. Thanks Tooth_dr I have to say this mention has changed my mind to making a column, my 1000mm tube comes in contact with legs at some point and making meridian flip cause me a lot of pain. I don't know how I missed that. Thank you Ed.

Hi everyone, I’m thinking of building my first garden observatory with role off roof. There are a lot of good ideas in internet, but most of them includes building a column (or buying a one), fixing it with cement, then buying a mount adapter and fix to the top of this column... etc. I was wondering, why just not fixing the tripod legs in cement after leveling it, to save money and time? Best regards,

Hi, here a photo,(200, stacked) with my canon 77D , with 250mm lens.

Hi Masjstovel, as I see in photo, your output is 1.5A when you use 12V, if it's enough or not, you must check your manual and see what S/W recommends. For my EQ6R is not enough, it requires at least 2,5A in tracking mode and 4A when I use goto.

Thank you for info, actually for now as beginner I'll stick with alignment with polar scope, but definitely will go to camera alignment in future.

So as I understand, they are meaningless and must be at 0 because my polar scope reticle Look different like here

Wow, thanks , this link explains allot. Best regards,

Hi Merline, thanks for reply, i don't have any info in my manual how to use those circles, for aligning the polar finder there are screws to do the job , here is a photo of my manual. Could you please send a photo of yours if they are not the same? Best regards,

Hello everyone, Forgive me for my naive question, but I just realized this circle around the polar finder scope, for what is it? Regards

Thanks Thank you, I’ll try my best, Thanks guys, actually I had that feeling it’s lil high with contrast, but details would be fainted also.

Hi everyone, my first Lunar photo using my new telescope 375 stacked photos, processed and cropped in adobe LR, then stacked in RegiStax 6 Critics are always welcome:)

thanks., that was a lot of help. best regards

Hi alacant, thanks for answering my questions. I thought the secondary mirror of Quattro is not that small (82mm), anyway would that vignetting be acceptable/ correctable with flats or would you advise me to buy another CC and return this back?

Hello everyone, I recently bought this coma corrector for my Skywatcher Quattro 10S F4 , 1000mm primary for imaging with my unmodified canon 77D (APS-C sensor ) . Unfortunately I couldn't test it till now and I still have two days return guaranty. I read in one article that it's made for full-frame sensors , but there is no tests at all with APS C sensor, could someone (who has this CC and tested it on such sensor ) tell me if it would "cut off" a lot of FOV? Or it may face focusing (or any other) problems? also I want to ask if anyone tried it with light pollution filter, specifically the Hutech IDAS LPS D1, D2 or P2? My question here is: could I attach a 2" or 58mm filter on the telescope side of CC (or between the camera and CC) without facing focus problems? I know there is a Clipfilter for EOS cams, which will fit just inside the cam, but then I can't use it with EF-S lenses. Best regards

The same thing in my mount, i think it’s made with purpose to protect the fine gears inside from damage caused by accidental pressure.

Miky2000 thank you for the help. Now my next question is about power supply (i already read the power tanks) , I know the power demand is very variable depending on the mounts load and what else is draining your power supply. Which power supply would be save to make it save the whole night (max 8 hours) without any issues? Assuming I'll need to charge my laptop once or twice as well? I read about car batteries, are they save? What else do I need to connect it with the mount? Anyone can help me? Best regards,
