Thank you very much guys! I've decided to order the Latitude base with dovetail bar to connect my canon and then proceed baby steps on buying a dedicate weight or assemble one! Regarding connection I've never heard of NINA but if that works the procedure will be much easier than jumping between ton of programs Cheers for your awesome aid!

Hi pals, I've got an AZ Gti goto wifi / tripod + Canon EOS D90 ( including EF50mm f/1.8 II + EFS18-135mm lens), a win10 notebook , android phone camera which is recognized in PHD2 Since I'd love to start shooting some DSO images (< 30 mins) , after reading and updating my firmware to EQ mode I need to buy some accessories but I'm getting confused on what is required and what isn't: 1) Latitude base 2) Counterweight 3) Additional equipment required to connect everything ? 4) How to connect PHD2 to control AZ Gti wifi and auto-align? Do I need to buy Syscan pro/a dedicated ZWO camera ? Thanks pals!

Thank you guys! This hobby is very challenging for total rookies, but after seeing Orion nebula with my telescope I couldn't stop thinking about imaging some of this immense and beautiful universe! But I digress, regaring your suggestions: Do you have any pics to share? Close in-stars or nebulae would be fantastic! Following your suggestion, I'd need to buy an adapter to put inside a barlow lens eyepiece (which magnification?) to connect it between T-ring and telescope, right? Do you have any cheap model to suggest? Yes I have updated it, but I need the EQ mount + wedge, do you have anything cheap to reccomend? Thanks! -Andrea

Hi guys, I'd love to have some help before I end up tossing money without a practical reason! I have an AZ-GTi / Heritage 130p tube connected to a Canon 600D by a T-ring adapter: The issue here is that I can't see any stars at all! The live preview is practically pitch black even at 400 ISO, whilst I see nice and bigger stars with my 10/25mm oculars! Upon seeing the raw and adjust it, I did actually see a few stars but at 100% resolution the rarely are above 1 pixel: My Galaxy S8 on top of 25mm eyepiece does a much better job! What should I do to at least image the same quality / size of the stars I see through my telescope eyepiece? Thank you pals! -Andrea

Awesome, thank you very much!

Hi guys, Just like everyone else I LOVE gazing deepsky objects, stars and nebulas! I have started with a Heritage 130P dob mount, however imaging with my Canon 600D and constantly adjusting the tube is not feasible! I would like to move from dobsonian to AZ mount buying a tripod with a tracker (SkyWatcher AZ-GTi GoTo WiFi), but I do lack the knowledge if Heritage 130P tube can be installed on it. Thanks for your precious suggestions! :D
