  1. Can also look into something like this "Laptop's Portable Charger External Battery Pack Power Bank 50000mAh" Im not sure if links are allowed but a quick google is all that's needed.
  2. Is there a particular reason why I would not simply get a zoom piece and a powermate and be done with getting eyepieces?
  3. Why not get a second battery? Use one and have the other already charged, swap them and start charging the first one. That ought to last quite a bit.
  4. Thank you for yours answers Cosmic Geoff. I always feel a bit of anxiety when instructions are "tighten the screws but just enough", subjectivity is admittedly my bane and unfortunately the whole scope seems to operate on this principle. I got a cheshire along with the scope and it seems to me that it is a bit out of collimation, all I did was put the cheshire where the objective goes and look through it. It seemed off but I will not touch it until I actually try it out first. Doing 130x on a brick wall across the street seemed to produce a good image but of course today is a perfectly cloudy night or at least looking like it so far.
  5. Hi, New guy here Just got my heritage 130p and already have some doubts: 1 - The focuser holds the eyepieces with screws, does this not lead to damage? 2 - The knob/screw that holds the tube rail in place, where should it be placed? I mean how high does the tube is from the base plate when store vertically? I can see that the original spot led to a "marking" on the rail, a spot where the paint was scratched. 3 - There are 6 screws on the bottom, collimation for the main mirror, of these the ones with small heads are loose with one being very very loose, do I need to do anything? Thank you for reading.
