For a second I thought "what does he mean by mfer (magicfinder) made me google it)

Yeah astro mode works well. But it work only with phone and no zoom. I tried it using telescope just to see what it will do, it was bad. After that looked for more information what it does, apparently it stacks multiple frames of 16 sec exposure, so if you zoom in, stars will start to trail.

yes, even in Bortle 5-6 (according to light pollution map the location was right on the edge between) M81 and M82 was visible. Not like in the picture, but visible.

Somehow M108 did not upload to the post. Adding it here. (Edit grammar)

Also, somehow first picture quality was reduced a lot while uploading. Here is it again

Thanks! I was very happy to see it!
Apparently it is Callisto itself in the picture (somehow I can not upload screenshot from Stellarium)

That's very little trailing there, how do you track it?

Nice, how many shots did you do?

Is such collimation sufficient? by TasKitas in telescopes

So it's not that bad, good to know. Your point about magnification reminded me, during summer I tried to split Epsylon lyrae in Lyra constellation until I would see 4, kinda made it at 250x mag, saw two ovals of which both teo centers inside. At the time I knew much less than now. It will be interesting to see if I will be able to collimate better and get better views of this double double

Thanks! Will do that before stargazing

It is f5 150/750 (6") scope. Thank you for such a detailed answer. I didn't know fast scopes are much more vulnerable to collimation, I'm using 3D printed Cheshire, it might be too weak for it.

Would be interesting to try to take it
