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
