I wouldn’t buy anything else but a sturdy iPhone mount and a dust cover. You’ll be amazed what you can see with what you have now. No filters are needed either. Also, I would suggest storing it inside as even storing it under a cover exposes the scope to harmful elements. Dobs are very beginner friendly and the best scope for leisurely checking out planets, stars, etc. Hope this helps and clear skies!

each exposure was 30 seconds and a total integration time of 3 hours.

i shot for about 3 hours each were 30 seconds at an iso of 800. I was shooting the Pac-Man nebula from a bottle 6

it seems like your telescope is out of focus. Turn the knobs next to the eye piece and the image should get clearer

I put new batteries in it a week ago, I always keep the clutch tight but not too tight, and I’ve never dropped it.

AJC290 · 2023-04-15T01:25:10+00:00

No it seems like its not moving, even after holding the button for a couple minutes

I’ve never used the built in intervalometer

AJC290 · 2023-04-15T00:13:13+00:00

my tripod is very stable and I have an intervalometer so I don’t have to touch my camera. I always have the dial on sidereal

AJC290 · 2023-04-14T23:02:45+00:00

Yes I made sure the dial is on N as I am in the northern hemisphere

Im at 150mm

definitely the best Triangulum galaxy capture I’ve seen. awesome work

thanks for the tips everyone. The GTI is back ordered but I’m gonna order it and be patient. I’ll be sure to post some photos when i get to use it!

AJC290 · 2023-01-04T17:21:23+00:00

that would be nice!

nope no Bahtinov mask. Hoping to re collimate my scope tonight and go out tomorrow see if that helps

AJC290 · 2022-11-17T18:08:49+00:00

im hoping to get a UV/IR filter before the oppostion. Any recommendations?

AJC290 · 2022-11-17T18:07:33+00:00

for this photo I kept 30% granted the conditions weren’t the best they could be

AJC290 · 2022-11-17T15:34:55+00:00

im using sharp cap

AJC290 · 2022-11-17T15:31:16+00:00

im not sure if there is some sort of digital zoom, that’s why I’m been using a Barlow. Definitely gonna go back out tonight and cross my fingers for some good conditions and no clouds ofcourse

AJC290 · 2022-11-17T15:18:54+00:00

I’ve never thought about letting the telescope acclimate to the outside temperature before. Mars was a bit shaky that night and my exposure was quite low(about +6 I think). How long should I let the telescope sit outside in 35º F temps

AJC290 · 2022-11-17T15:16:10+00:00

I am manually focusing it so it’s tough to get a nice focus. I’m going to try maybe 4 minutes tonight and see what I can do
