  1. I tried it out a few times during the day on distant chimneys and it worked well. but on the nights i tried it i was getting frustrated with it and decided my Bahtinov mask was the faster option .
  2. when i inquired about oag for the 130pds the dealer kindly replied i wouldn't need one for this scope. so you could save some weight
  3. I was often having trouble with this happening. I found that resetting the alignment every session helped. Hope it helps you
  4. I have the 130pds and the skywatcher Gti with a skywatcher wedge which I used in Eq mode With counter weights. I found the after putting an electric focuser on it with a guide scope and finder scope and using a coma Corrector it was too heavy. I’ve replaced the mount with a heq5 pro mount and not looked back. I wish I had bought a bigger mount in the first place.
  5. I had the same issue when both the asi120mm mini guide cam and the Asi294mc which were all plugged into the same powered usb hub. I bought another powered usb hub and now plug the Asi294mc into one of the hubs and the asi120mm mini in the other. I plug the mount usb into the one with the asi120mm and the focuser into the one with the Asi294mc. Just meant I had to run two cables into the computer instead of just the one. Never have a problem now
  6. Thank you for these recommendations. The pictures are beautiful. Much appreciated
  7. Thank you Stu. Love the picture. Very impressive. Many thanks for your recommendation.
  8. Please can I Have your recommendations for a good filter for red nebula. I live in a bortle 4 area which has the led street lighting using a skywatcher 130pds with an one shot colour Asi294mc uncooled camera. With a skywatcher coma corrector which reduces by 0.90 thank you colin

  10. I use a 5m active usb cable from the camera into the house, and operate it in comfort with my laptop. Staying warm and not risking the laptop
  11. Competitive Pricing found this on the FLO website In the unlikely event you find a lower price please email us details. We will then do our best to match. Please note: The competitor must be an authorised retailer (appointed by the manufacturer or manufacturer’s distributor).
