    It stayed still in the centre of the ep. I had a clear view no obstruction. Mirror is extremely clean only just clean it

    Hi all. While doing a star test I noticed a circle on the defocused star , I change ep's as I thought I had a mark on it but still the same. I never noticed it before any ideas . Dave

    That's the one it should tighten or loosen the focuser movement. Dave

    Hi SmoothOperater. I can't see from the picture, is there a grub screw just below the locking bolt . That will tighten or loosen the focuser.. Dave

    The fans are screwed onto the plate, the plate is held on by the collimation screws. There's no vibrations as the fans don't touch the scope, and the fans pull air down the tube. Dave

    Hi all. I'm trying to image Jupiter and Saturn through my phone. The problem I'm having is that they are very bright I lower the iso and speed to make them better but when I lower the speed I can only take single shots. Is there a filter that would help with the brightness I tried an 80a but don't like the blue look. Dave
