I'm sure i will enjoy using it for you

Congratulations to you all. Well done your images were superb. Dave

The 6 pro takes a 4 minute photo and stack's it for you in AP mode

The problem i have with the phone is when held up to the EP i get a purple glare and unable to take any images

I could be interested if you have some pictures

Hi all @Elp pointed me in this direction thanks. I'm thinking of getting an AZGTI mount to use with a DSLR camera which i need to get as well and later on maybe a scope once i understand how to process the image's. Is it just literally set it up point to where you want and it will track. Are they easy to set up and use Is there anything else i would need to buy like power bank and lead's , EQ wedge etc Any more help would be appreciated . Thanks dave

If possible I'd like to use my tripod and extension pillar i have but its m10 is there any way of changing it to 3/8"

Hi all. I'm in a dilemma, after saving and selling stuff I've finally got enough to get a EQ platform for my dob as i like to take images with my phone and i thought it would help. Then looking at other stuff to buy i can get an Celestron 6se for a little bit extra , i don't really need the go-to just wanted something easy to set up and track. I could buy a DSLR camera to go with the 6se , would i get good images of galaxys and nebula with this setup. I can't afford a good EQ mount or scope so please don't try and spend my money 🤑. Any other cheap alternatives welcome. Dave

Finding it hard to get the editing right on Snapseed.

With the collimation thread now re tapped and new bolts thanks to @Captain Scarlet i can use the dob again. Only got an hour before the clouded rolled in.

Nice image, Mars really stands out

Thanks @scotty1 . It says bortle 2-3 i can just make out Andromeda Galaxy eith my eyes

Same shot from bottle 2_3. Google pixel 6 pro AP mode.

@Roog has the best idea. Ditch the bike and get a ride on dob

Orion. Google pixel 6 pro on selfie stick . No tracking in AP mode

I damaged one of the collimation thread's on the dob , so the opticstar made an appearance tonight. Now i know why it's best to have more then one scope.

There's no more room in my case , I'm happy with what I got. Unless i get a new case😉

I think you need a Barlow to achieve focus, but I'm sure someone can give you better advice. Dave

I feel i bit silly now . The thread on the bolt has not gone it must be the thread inside , is there any way to fix this. Dave.

Pm'd

Just checked flo , and i think i have the original factory bolts
