  1. Have you tested the mount with another handset or eqdir ?
  2. when i had a similar situation I just asked if they could point it down a touch so it didn't come over the fence, they were very apologetic and did it straight away.
  3. We have his and hers NAS full with decades of data, lots of memories.
  4. you could make a single arm mount but it would be much heftier than a normal dob mount, I think upto 6 inch would be ok but after that the traditional type is better.
  5. Im looking how to attach my OTA to the upright arm (I am DIYing a SW130p OTA with a single arm dob base like the SW one) with a vixen dovetail and have a clutch, any thoughts?
  6. Is the Dark brown in the image dust, if you can capture a lot more data on that it will take some form and not look like noise?
  7. OH wow this is far harder than I thought, any tips? this is my best effort so far
  8. As we have had the opportunity to measure expansion due to when we are, when would objects outside of our galaxy become invisible to us? im guess high end billions of years or is this a not really thing?
  9. Something like a FSQ865 (much better than some 106 versions) is a dream to image with and that low F, colour correction and ease of use comes with a price tag.
  10. will it be ok for a drop the eyepiece test?
  11. Although the 130pds is cheap and can do the job, I'd go with a small refractor to start with. Its simpler to use but will cost more.
  12. Its sweet spot is where your wallet says enough
  13. this is a good example of DSLr NA : https://astrobackyard.com/north-america-nebula/ lots of data need to make it work
  14. I have owned both and found it down to seeing rather than much else.
  15. Only ever used Canon, im Nikon now what is the deal with lens compatibility ?
  16. Simple answer is yes. Learning to use it is far from simple.
  17. WoW that Roboscope rig has really performed !
  18. Im looking at dabbling with a DSLR but need a tracking mount, but... id also like the option to pop a mak 127 on it for luna. any tips?
  19. Is it my eyes or is there a lot of dark brown nebulosity going on around the corners on this also?
