  1. Hi I found this on Amazon links to your phone https://www.amazon.co.uk/Eve-Motion-resistance-notifications-activation/dp/B0B5XRXBTF/ref=sr_1_57?crid=DCFAP5I82UVU&keywords=Portable+motion+sensor+alarm&qid=1671828501&sprefix=portable+motion+sensor+alarm%2Caps%2C140&sr=8-57 Or this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Detector-Outdoor-External-All-Round-Blindspot-Free/dp/B07PZBF2R8/ref=sr_1_61?crid=DCFAP5I82UVU&keywords=Portable+motion+sensor+alarm&qid=1671828501&sprefix=portable+motion+sensor+alarm%2Caps%2C140&sr=8-61
  2. A false alarm must be better than gear nicked
  3. Hi this may sound strange but when I used to night fish my bite alarms used to have a kit alarm which was a small box with heat sensor and motion sensor so if any one came to towards your fishing barrow with all the kit on it ,it would sound the alarm on the receiver unit so may be worth a look at
  4. Here are 2 of mine Mak 180 pro and bresser 127 refractor
  5. They are not nice cables I found them stiff I got a replacement one from FLO it's longer to start with and no block in site,it's worth every penny https://www.firstlightoptics.com/lynx-astro-cables/lynx-astro-premium-handset-cables-for-sky-watcher-eq5-pro-heq5-pro-syntrek-az-eq5-gt-eq6-r-pro-az-eq6-gt-and-eq8-mounts.html
  6. Thanks Mart will do that , I will let you know how I get on
  7. Brilliant great photo I hope to get out this weekend and try again I don't know what would be better the 180 MAK of 127 refractor ? What would you go for ?
  8. https://astrophotography.app/APT_UnReg4_10.exe this is the download link for astrophotography tool and it has a bahtinov grabber in it
  9. Would a bahtinov mask and bahtinov grabber help , I was told that once eyepiece is at focus then put camera in and wind focuser in the camera will focus closer the scope , I have not tried my 224mc in my 180 MAK yet but when it was in my 127/1200 refractor I had both extension tubes in to get camera to focus https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=bathinov+grabber&qpvt=bathinov+grabber&view=detail&mid=871F1C3677082B11BDF5871F1C3677082B11BDF5&&FORM=VRDGAR
  10. Well I hope we all have clear skies
  11. Nice photo I would be very happy if I could see that in the eyepiece
  12. Well that's a lot more things to try Jupiter worked well with my binoviewer , well I won't give in with Mars
  13. Brilliant read I book marked it thanks for that link
  14. Ok Mark I do have colour ones so will try that was hoping to tonight but the fog has come in
  15. Hi I was told once to dry out a phone to put in a air tight bag with a bowl of rice then put some were warm the rice will draw in the moisture may be worth a try
  16. The only reason I got them was a tight budget after buying scope and mount and were better than stock when it you get them from China they are not dear , I got on well with them and I upgraded to BST now No they ant the best but still better than stock when starting out
  17. Hi I started with celestron omni they are a good start as I upgraded my scopes I up graded my omni eyepieces to BST, the omni eyepieces are just sat in a draw now
  18. Hi everyone what a night got set up and was looking at Jupiter , I was waiting for mars to come out from behind a tree , the mount had gone off power pack was dead should not be was fully charged looks like this one's a bin job , so got the second one out had to then get mount to home position then set up again , I asked the mount goto mars and half way there it stops but only one axis , So I landed up bringing mount and scope in door , the belt has gone lucky I have a spare , fixed the mount and set up again now the MAK has dew on the lens so got heater running had to wait for it to clear , now got back to mars No detail at all just a bright disc I think Mars is going to be one planet I won't ever get right ? Can't work out were I am going wrong , low mag high mag still just a bright disc I may try again later with the refractor
  19. Santa came early got fed up standing up
  20. Hi I also been looking and there are a few on Astro buy and sell the dearest so far was 380 , so may be worth a look at
  21. I was watching the live stream last night it a really sharp image
  22. It's very well made I can now see why the price , just need a day with no rain to set it up
  23. Thanks to Garry I now have this for my Mak
