  1. How to remove lens of ASI224MC? Is there any easy method to remove lens from the camera? I presume the hole is there to help that.
  2. Hey guys! @teoria_del_big_bang @powerlord @malc-c @The Lazy Astronomer Amazing support here. Thank you for such elaborate responses to a dumb generic question. So, I started my hobby of observing last year. I have a skywatcher 200p dobsonian. I started with the sw eyepieces which comes with the scope and then upgraded to BST 8 and 15mm eyepieces ( second hand 🙂 ). I also bought a Baader hyperion 5mm eyepiece. Recently I bought a televue 2.5x powermate ( second hand and a great 'deal'...waited few months to find a right price). I observe planets and moon ( never get tired of seeing them). With my upgraded armamentarium my viewings of jupiter and saturn became better and better. The view with BST 8mm with a 2.5x powermate was breathtaking for me. Whenever I see jupiter and saturn, I want to click pictures and cell phone pics don't give any justice to what I see through the eyepiece. This is the reason I want to try astrophotography. I know this is far more complicated than observing but I want to give it a try. I know dobsonian mount is not suitable for this but I want to try first and then upgrade to EQ mount etc etc. I know the stargazer family will help me at every step :-). I am intersted in planets and moon so my focus would be to get better in this before venturing into DSO. Any suggestions for astroimaging with dobsonian ( I don't know I should even ask this dumb question) would be lovely. I have got a zwoASI224MC.
  3. Thank you everyone for guiding me here. I will surely buy the book @scotty38 @teoria_del_big_bang its hard to resist but I am very new in astrophotography so I am ok for now but I get what you are saying @bottletopburly @The Lazy Astronomer looks like quite an introspection for me here. Thank you 🙂
  4. Hi all I am very new to astrophtography. I have recently acquired a ASI224MC camera. Can anyone of you direct me to some good articles here or anywhere on the web explaining the basics of astrophotography/ basics of software photo processing etc etc. Thank you very much!! Harsh
  5. Thank you @Budgie1 and @johninderby I downlaoded the ASIStudio which also have ASICAP.
  6. I have recently purchased a ZWOASI224MC camera. I can't find the ASICAP software on their website. Have they changed the name? Please help.
  7. Thanks for such a detailed reply Chris. Seeing your image and the way you did it, I think now I have got a decent idea to be able to do this. I own a 8" dobsonian and have tried getting a decent image for long. The sky is not clear since a week here in the UK but hope it clears soon. Thanks again, Regards Harsh
  8. Amazing!! What smartphone adapter do you use? And did you record a video and then process it?
  9. Thank you guys for taking the time to reply. @JohnBear and @Ricochet @Ricochet : I meant turning the knob- in the picture the knob which is circled. After reading your post, I found that the thumbscrew was engaged ( the one with the arrow pointed at it in the picture) and after unengaging it my draw tube moves in and out. I could focus it at something now during the daytime- will have to check whether I could see anything in the night.
  10. Hello guys. I have recently purchased a skywatcher 200p dobs and I am an absolutely newbie in astronomy. Had it out couple of times and could see the star studded sky but suddenly it has stopped showing anything. It happened suddenly as I was focusing with the focuser. Since then I haven't seen anything with both the supplied eyepiece (9mm and 25mm) . Few times I could see an image like the one attached when I was rotating my focuser. I haven't yet collimated my scope. Any ideas what sort of problem it is?? I tried tonight as well but no view . Please help.
  11. Thanks! That is what I have said to them. The scope is so unstable without those.
  12. Hi all I purchased a skywatcher 200p dobsonion from first light optics a few weeks back. During assembly I found that the package containing side handle and the tension control handle is missing. I have contacted the first light optics but they are not sure when and how they are going to make it available for me. Does anyone of you have these to spare??
  13. Thank you all for such a prompt reply!!! Unfortunately, my telescope package does not contain tension control handle. Have notified first optics and waiting to hear from them.
  14. I have just bought a 200p skywatcher classic dobsonion and while setting it up that the finder scope (9×50) of this also shows you an upside down image. Just wanted to confirm is this normal or some aberration in my case. Please help
