I used to put a few strap around my ep to stop them dewing up, never thought about keeping them at ambient temperature 

The 13mm was my favourite , the 21 mm was like a space walk and when moving the dob around made me feel sick.

When my father passed away he left me his binoculars.

When I focus in on Jupiter I see too of them, I closed one eye at a time and their was only one, but it looked like pinched optics a bit.

Any help in collimating these would be appreciated.

Awesome effort. I'm hoping to try something similar when this week's nightshifts end. Hopefully clear skies for my time off 👌 did you have a phone mount on a telephone or just handheld?

It might sound stupid, but I put the phone in a shoe so it was easier to tilt and rested on the bin

Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks.

Google pixel 6 pro, astrophotography mode.

Would definitely recommend one, take's second's level

A few new items today.

A Neewer tripod leverer, and a skywatcher star adventure tripod .

Having some fun processing in snapseed, think I went a bit too mad.

30 minutes at 10 sec's

I was imagining for just under an hour, but only says 5 minute's 

If I was in the UK Tim I would have it looking for a new scope and mount 

M33 

60 minute's , edited on snapseed 

First proper night using the seestar last time only lasted a minute before clouds rolled in

I went for the cheap option, some velcro and a 1kg ankle weight . Worked well with the 21mm ethos

Not to worry I've found it

Just managed to use it for 50 second's before clouds rolled in.

How do I view the stacked image it's taken.

Ordered Monday and arrived today, of course it's raining and not looking good for the next week.

Can't wait to try it out.

My seestar should be arriving in a few days.

What extras do I need , dew shield/ light shield, batinov mask , I know it has built in filters but anyone using other filters.

A link to purchase any 3d printed accessories.

Thanks dave
