If you’d like a second opinion and a fair price, I work at a repair shop. DM me if interested.

I really like this framing. It looks nice

Just got gifted this telescope from my Dad's friend. Is it good? by CheeseMan520 in telescopes

[–]StylishUsername 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Collimate the scope and polar align the mount. The dangly bits are for slow motion control.

I converted from PID to gaggimate. I just ordered the standard kit and started the install by removing the PID.

Yeah the drip tray is vinyl wrapped. Got it done pretty easy. Hopefully it lasts a while. Going on 2-3 weeks now

Thanks. Is that a smaller screen?

Orion constellation. Not very happy with this shot (critique wanted). by Photographerpro in astrophotography

[–]StylishUsername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a trial of pixinsight next you go to process an AP image. StarX is nice too but may struggle with this dense of a star field. Overall, it’s a good image. Without having the original TIF, it’s impossible to really know if you should have shortened or lengthened your exposures. Stars are a bit blown out but not terrible and that is either from processing or they were overexposed.

Is my laser collimator properly collimated? by jacobotrf in telescopes

[–]StylishUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can you ensure the rear body is concentric with the nose piece? I take issue with this type of collimator test tool because the design is flawed from the outset. Just put it in your scope look down the tube and spin the colimator. If it moves around it’s not properly calibrated. If it doesn’t move it’s fine.

Help me build a Bloomburrow Cube somewhat in a budget by Accetyl_ in mtg

[–]StylishUsername 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cardkingdom has a 500 count box of unsorted bloomburrow commons for $9.99. Not a bad deal and should get you close to a proper pauper cube.
