Thanks, yes I know, but it doesn't help future sales and other members out.

I just wanted to thank the two members who quickly posted out the items I purchased from them recently, I am sure they know who they are. I am very happy with the speed of delivery and the quality of the equipment. But why close adverts so quickly? I had no chance to thank them and leave feedback, surely critical to the the forum and future sales from those members??? regards Trevoe

Hi Already connected up and working. Starsense and GPS both on the Aux port.

So I just cancelled that order before it was shipped from the States. I used a splitter from Amazon at £8.99 https://amzn.to/3lOk3oU And two curly cables £10.99 each https://amzn.to/3xsQ2gS

Oh, didn't know it would get embedded in the forum post. I assume that is OK??????

I just bought an RJ11 splitter from Amazon at £8.99 Fully wired 6P6C it works perfectly. I also bought two RJ12 curly cables 6P6C to complete the look. £10.99 I now have the Starsense Auto-Align and Celestron GPS plugged in to the Aux socket. If anyone needs to see that working it is on the link below.

Thanks. Its a year ago and I can't remember exactly but I think it was blurry images. probably the classic expectation versus reality.

Thanks for that. Jeez this is a tricky hobby, perhaps I should stick to the 3D printing and sell the lot... :-(

Thanks for that. But the astro cameras seem to be very expensive in comparison. Could you perhaps suggest an astro camera as I really have no clue which would be suitable for me.

I see a Nikon D7500 astro modified on ebay. I also see a few members use this, would that be a sensible first imaging buy?

Thanks for that, couldn't be any closer could it.

Thanks for that, a couple in my area but meetings seem infrequent for someone looking for practical onsite advice.

I don't have one at the moment so happy to consider any suggested options. I wonder if there is a club in my area. Rushden, Northants.

Wow, thanks for all the replies. A lot to read through and things to check out. I do have the focal reducer. I am also more comfortable with a DSLR so might go with that option to start with. I am already on thin ice with she who must be obeyed, I haven't mentioned my new Starsense Auto align yet...

Hi all I appreciate this isn't really an imaging suitable setup but I have the wedge fitted and would dearly love to get a few images of a galaxy. I do have the Celestron solar system 10Meg camera but haven't had much success with it so far, I have had a year out and am just starting up again. What would I need to get a colour picture of say the Andromeda galaxy? I am partially colour blind and the colourful images I see on this forum look great to me, although obviously are not the same as you see. Should I look at a SLR astro modified or a dedicated astronomy camera? I would like the lowest cost to start with.
