I've been thinking about buying some new eyepieces, I only have the stock ones that I received with the telescope. I have a DOB 150P, I've been thinking about getting this one https://www.firstlightoptics.com/bst-starguider-eyepieces/bst-starguider-60-5mm-ed-eyepiece.html I already have bought a 2x Barlow

I got one of family members to take a look at it, says that something isn't giving enough power so indeed it may be that something got fried and isn't working properly. Gonna get the board to someone experienced to see if they can fix it, if nothing I just order the replacement box.

Well, I probably know what happened. I've just realized I've been using 19V power supply instead of 12V, though it worked for a while it probably fried something after I shut it off last time. Not sure if I should try to get someone to fix it, or just buy a replacement.

No I mean I just use the HC to try to slew to object, it says slewing but it does not actually do anything. The cables are plugged in though. Maybe the HC is just banged up, it has fallen quite a few times on the ground. But I've ordered an EQDIR cable to see. I hope it is just the Hand controller. I will be checking again tomorrow to confirm that the cables are plugged in well, that there isn't maybe any spacing. It said it a few days ago too I believe, I recall something of the sort where it wouldn't slew. However that was simply the cables not being plugged. Now even when the cables are plugged it does not work. Both of the axes do not respond.

Was testing the EQ5 Pro today, but it kept saying Both axes no response. Was working fine around 3 days ago. Now it just keeps saying Both axes no response, what could be the issue here? Fried board? I've tried using my Celestron battery, tried two different power adapters yet nothing. The HC lights up fine, but it just says Both axes no response, you try to slew to object and it just gets stuck. I've been thinking about ordering an EQDIR cable, but if the HC port is screwed then what's the point?

Does anyone know what mounting rings are compatible with the Rokinon?

I have an EQ5 that I upgraded with the SynScan Upgrade kit, it works well.

Welcome back, 200P still can be used today, many people use it for astrophotography and have gotten great images with it. I have that scope and it's great, though one downside I guess is its big but that depends on who you ask.

I am looking for the exact screw as the one on the image below, unfortunately I have lost it. Any help would be great

Looks very nice.

You're right, I figured that out after making this thread, ABE is so bad for this.

This is after doing ABE in PixInsight, not sure why this happens... I'm not really worried about the dust spots, thats fine but what bothers me are these weird red gradients, they make the image very bad.

Stepping into my shed observatory after around 2 weeks of not entering it, I come upon 2 spiders around 10 earwigs (ton of more though most likely). What to do to exterminate these [removed word]? I don't really care about spiders as they're just small and they just stay in one place but earwigs are on my nerve.

The framing is off but that's because I was manually searching for M31, it is a pretty bright object and was easy to find with 10x50 binoculars but with a 135mm lens it was a different story. Me finding it with the dslr was totally random as that was my last try that night so I didn't wanna risk losing it. I had lost my DSLR cable somewhere on the trip to the site and couldn't use plate solving and goto that easily. I used HEQ5 Pro with Rokinon 135mm F2, subs were 60s, total exposure 10mins. No flats/darks
