    Hi Kris welcome . I hope you was careful not to let the clouds out of the box , normally if you buy anything astro it comes with clouds for about 2 weeks lol
  3. Paul here is the bolt I think photo is wrong but size sounds good but your have to ring them https://www.365astronomy.com/m10-tripod-screw-for-vixen-skywatcher-fornax-astrotrac-etc-tripods.html
  4. Paul astroboot my have bolt and spreader, remember when we thought I did not have a spreader I found one for £20 I think that was a shop near you https://www.rothervalleyoptics.co.uk/skwyatcher-spreader-plate-for-neq6-tripod.html
  5. Does the iPad not have a usb , I know that a kindle you can use a micro usb to standard size usb ,so you may be able to get this lead to work you iPad then down load nightcam on Apple store this works with most cameras then you may be able to use ASL camera from FLO
  6. Ok guys thank you I hope you will still be around , I don't think I will see Halleys comet this time I will be 100
  7. This is how I got my self centering eyepiece holder , I went to the guys house he placed the item outside then stayed back I picked it up and left the money once he was happy I left , he did show me his Astrophotography set up at a safe distance , so can be done , sell as collection only due to price get your money first then place item out side so they can pick up , I have sold 4 helicopters this way over lock down
  8. if you want blue lock tight e bay does it or Halfords , don't use a lot , also if you do need to remove it use a soldering iron to put a little heat to the nut this help the lock tight release so you don't damage the nut or threads
  9. Thanks Dave that may be a good time , I can really only star gaze at weekends it's a pain
  10. Hi STU I am always on nights at weekends I see Venus for about an hour , but I do get up about 3am to catch the planets in the morning , but in 2025 /2026 the planets are up in the evening so would that be a better time to catch mercury
  11. Thanks but by the time I get home I can't see it any more , so when is it next in the sky ?
  12. Hi guys as I work nights I see it but not with my scope ,so when is the next time we can see this
  13. Hi and welcome , if learning is what your looking for your in the right place it's out of this world
  14. If they put up any more satellites we will all be sniffing or licking there will be no use trying to look in the scope lol if you got the money why not stop every looking at the stars what a Barclays banker
  15. Well that went over my head lol , this telescope was sold as a scope for Astrophotography , I convert the focuser for visual , I am not getting into Astrophotography just wanted some photos that I can say I taken
  16. Hi Adam won't the dlsr route cost me more in the end the camera body is about £400 then I will need T mount guide scope etc
  17. They are a pain and he wants to put more up its taking the p****
  18. Hi Damien nice photos , you need to pop down to the Astrophotography section more help than you can shake a stick at
  19. Hi Peter , Martin at FLO sent me a link to what I need so i will order it soon
  20. Hi that's the telescope I start with it does not have a polar scope , but on your smart phone you can get polar alignment pro it's about £3 this allows you to do a polar alignment even in the day time makes it easy to do if you open the app and place it in line with the telescope you can adjust tripod and mount to polar align it , just remember if you move the tripod make sure it's level at the end , now don't move the tripod any more just the telescope
  21. Hi the synscan manual does say finish the centering of the star with up and right
  22. Hi Peter can you point me to one on the FLO site please
  23. Hi Dave as prices go I think this may be a great buy https://www.firstlightoptics.com/zwo-cameras/zwo-asi224mc-usb-3-colour-camera.html
  24. Sorry if I am being a bit thick the all sky lens won't be used for planet or nebula photos ? But used if you want a star cluster photo ?
