Going to be doing this possibly Wednesday. .... https://www.cpre.org.uk/what-we-care-about/nature-and-landscapes/dark-skies/star-count-2021

Thanks for your replies folks, much appreciated.

What area are you in?

Thanks for your replies ... any idea what size (amp) fuse I should use?

Anyone got any advice on this please.... don't know if it's too powerful (20amps) and will cause a problem.

I have a golf trolley battery ( golf ..lol .. thing of the past at the moment) ... would I be ok to use this to power my AZ-GTI mount. .

Just fantastic

Is this the AZ-GTI goto mount you are using, can you post a photo of your set up

Found that Optical Vision Ltd sell these azimuth screws for £6 , ordered and arrived the next day, really impressed with the company. .... Stargazing Telescopes, Binoculars, Spotting Scopes, Microscopes by OVL - Optical Vision Ltd @Adam J

£300 what would I do ... book a flight to somwhere where there isn't any clouds .... lol

Wow, fantastic image ..... I could go up to 500mm and probably 30 second exposures, will have to do a test shot and see (if the clouds move out of the way).

No my camera is not modified.

Can these be imaged together.?

Ok thanks , will look them up ... are they difficult to image?

New to this so I'm wondering what to try next. I don't have a good view of the west. I have imaged .... The Orion Nebula.... The Andromeda Galaxy ... The Pleiades ..... and Bode's/Cigar Galaxy . and I am pleased with the results so far, but I have a lot to learn. Looks like a clear night tonight so recommendations please, my location is Middle England, and my set up is below. AZ-GTI in Az mode (good for up to 40 seconds) Canon 80D and either 70-200mm f2.8 lens .. or 150-600mm f5-6.3. some light pollution .. Bortle 5 My latest image (last night) Thanks in advance.

Possible but I think only if I remove some off the shoulder

Thanks Adam, but I have to say this is not my screw and mine isn't this bad.

Does anyone know what size thread the locking rod is in the picture below??

Yes the latitude base from SW is sold with a small dovetail

I have now been excepted into that AZ-GTI User Group.

Also Live View if your camera has it, as this lifts the mirror out of the way.

Interesting .. and I'm followingh you now on flickr

And is your tripod perfectly level?
