I had the very same issue with my Galaxy Tab. It's a software issue, and if i remember right, you download a different version from the skywatcher site. Can't remember the exact version, but someone will be along and point you in the right direction. John

Hi Steve, Sods Law, since purchasing, I've been working away, and when I've been home, its done nothing but rain or clouds. Don't suppose I'll get to use it until next month when Astronomical Dark returns. When i do, i will post on here and do some test images to upload John

General question to EXOS-2 PMC-8 owners. Have any of you guys been using PHD2 guiding with this mount yet ? I would be interested to see the guide logs / Graphs to see how it performs. Quick search on tinternet and cant seem to find anything regarding this mount in relationship to guiding. Regards John

Just to let everyone know, i have just bit the bullet and ordered one from FLO. Askar 7nm OIII Narrowband Filter | First Light Optics. When i receive it and the weather plays ball, i will do a review on this filter. Just a question to all, can you recommend a good Narrowband target for this time of year, that is good in OIII wavelength ? and maybe a target with a Bright star in the frame to test for Halo's/Reflections. I will be using it in conjunction with my SX694 m pro and ED80 scope John

@FLO. Have you tested these, or have you had any feedback regarding performance. ? Like in my OP, i am interested in the 36mm OIII, but what are they like regarding reflections/Halos ? Any feedback welcome Regards John

Thanks for the reply Dave, The Filter i was looking at is £179, as mine are 36mm and unmounted. The astronomik 36mm are mounted and £268, plus need a bit of Jiggery pokery to fit in the wheel with my Baaders, plus, more than i can afford at the moment.

Forgot to Add, i believe these are made by Sharpstar, correct me if i'm wrong

Hi Everyone, Has anyone had any experience using Askar Narrowband Filters ? I'm particularly looking at the 7nm OIII filter, as Baader filters are very hard to come by at the moment, and I need an OIII filter Regards in advance John

And SN9 is even better. Better Stainless steal, and the welded seams on that look even better. I think with SN9, he will land it successfully.

Super heavy.

I concur James, this will be mounted on top of the Super Heavy which will have 28 of these Raptor Engines. The Starship section is to be fitted with another 3 engines, these will be vacuum raptors for orbital flight. SN9 is Completed and when the data from SN8 is obtained, he will make the necessary mods to prevent the crash happening. Elon said they Lost pressure in the LOX header tank and if you look, you can actually see the liquid methane burning green prior to the crash land. I personally think this was an 85% success when you think what SN8 Achieved. First time 3 raptors used together, the engine command, the belly flop and skydive, and the operation of the flaps and Engine reignite to get it vertical. It even landed on the Pad ! (although crashed). I'm fairly confident that SN9 will get it right. Speculation is that SN9 will Launch in January John

Fantastic shot, and captured a lot of fuzzies in there 👍

As Allen has already suggested, you could go down the M42 camera lenses, which you can pick up a quite good prices on flee bay, and they are actually quite good, especially if you drop them down a couple of stops

Yes, that's what I'm getting James
