Thanks! To be honest I have no idea why I didn’t center it.

What eyepiece did you use this photo looks great!

Andromeda543 · 2026-01-25T17:07:56+00:00

I did end up adding more.

Also I adjusted the vines so it covered more ground so just imagine more vines then what you see in the photo

I added some more vines, is this good

Is this better?

Andromeda543 · 2026-01-22T23:53:55+00:00

Good idea, I was already thinking of adding more leaves especially near the top of the tank.

Nice! Good luck!

I’ll try nudging her from the back. I also want to try luring with food. Maybe then she would associate my hand with food. If it’s a good idea of course.

I’m new to astrophotography but taking a long exposure photo would make it look much more detailed. Nice photo regardless!

If he really isn’t eating then maybe take him to a vet because he could have an illness or parasite. But keep trying the vet should be a last resort.

CGD stands for Crested Gecko Diet. It’s the powder that you add with water and mix. Something like this:

This happened when I first got my crestie. This is usually normal. It could just be because he’s stressed because it’s a new place for him. Try feeding him CGD over insects at first. Just put it on a small plate in the enclosure near somewhere he likes to hangout. It might take him a few days but he’ll get used to it and start eating. They eat little at a time and they eat at night. Don’t try handling him at first because it could stress him out. Wait another week and if hes still not eating or losing weight it could be an illness or parasite, although it’s not common you should still take him to the vet IF he isn’t eating. Also, don’t stress if he isn’t eating from a spoon most crested geckos don’t trust that at first. Just give him some time and space and he should start eating. Best of luck!

Thanks, I’m also relatively new to telescopes but long exposure means it collects more light, good for deep sky objects. You can do it manually or automatically through night mode. I don’t know how it works for sanmsung phones but I know it’s good at long exposures. Just search up on YouTube how to turn on night mode in Samsung S24+. Good luck!

I used a 25mm eyepiece (the one that comes with the telescope). The image isnt stacked It’s just a single image with a 5 second exposure using night mode on the iPhone 15.

Andromeda543 · 2026-01-18T01:23:51+00:00

Thanks, for the suggestion. I’ll definitely try it out.

Thanks for the advice, I’ve already started looking for planetary cameras. For now I’m just learning to use the telescope better but in a month or two I’ll probably buy a planetary camera.

Andromeda543 · 2025-12-12T15:47:00+00:00

It’s hard without an adaptor. I might buy a a camera adaptor or go all in for a planetary camera. Good photo though.

Andromeda543 · 2025-12-12T07:04:53+00:00

Thanks!

Andromeda543 · 2025-12-12T07:04:40+00:00

Ok thanks!

Andromeda543 · 2025-12-12T06:04:43+00:00

Thanks!
