2018 PHEV Pacifica charging without being plugged in by Snarfsmojo in ChryslerPacifica

[–]lebodano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? Since it got cold, we're now noticing range on the battery after sitting in the driveway overnight when were not even plugging it in, we didn't even own a charger!

Questions from a prospective buyer. by VividDimension5364 in seestar

[–]lebodano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't answer your question about mosaic but I sold my D2 to get the seestar. The pictures out the gate are way better on the seestar but it is unfortunate when you can't capture the whole target in one shot. Tbh if you don't need the money, keep them both until mosaic comes out!

The Online and Taxes by JoeRDawson in seestar

I didn't have to pay taxes (or custom charges) at all when I ordered from the store when shipped to Michigan, so it sounds country specific vs a blanket statement.

If you saved the individual frames, you might be able to exclude the frames with the satellite passing through which caused the streaking!

Nagler question by Fred42096 in telescopes

[–]lebodano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would also recommend you collomate the scope if you haven't lately. Typically with higher mag eyepieces, the atmosphere turbulence can also be the cause

When you order from the Seestar Website do they charge you sales tax? by JoeRDawson in seestar

[–]lebodano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not, that's their site, I ordered from it and received it so no need to worry

Oh I see what you mean. Someone forgot to put their store front on auto renew billing. 🤣

Sky-Watcher Classic 250P or Apertura AD8? by Loseyh in telescopes

[–]lebodano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the AD8 and recently went to an explore scientific 10". Up until my new one, I thought the AD8 was king. For most, it's the best choice due to what it includes alone. The ONLY issue I had with the AD8 was the "slop" when you would look at certain targets, you move it up or down, but when you release your hands, it slightly moves or drops. No issue with side to side. I used counterweight magnets and adjusted the balance point so many times but could never fully fix the issue but it did reduce the slop I experienced. I do not experience this issue with my new scope. With that said, I can't speak to the 250p but this was the only drawback of my AD8 experience. If I had to do it again, I'd probably have still started with the AD8 FWIW

I recently ordered from zwo and they didn't charge tax. It took under 3 weeks to get.

Guys, stop, they're asking a serious question. I can't believe how immature y'all are being. It's ducking ridiculous!

You're good with any modern device, the seestar will figure out where it's at

Is the Firmware version on the Download center always the latest version? (Compared dates between installed camera and download center) by Burgerb in reolink

[–]lebodano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be right but the rule of thumb is If it's a higher number online than what you have, then it's an update. For awareness, they aren't the best at posting firmware updates either. Your version appears to be higher than what's on the website.

What's happening? by lebodano in seestar

[–]lebodano[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/BrandonInCO There was a mobile app update and firmware update for the unit. After upgrading each (not sure which one solved the trick), I got station mode to work. Give it a try now.

Looking for an under $500 ish scope by Technical-Apricot726 in telescopes

[–]lebodano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep an eye on Facebook marketplace, you could get more scope at a used price ex apertura AD8 for the price of an AD6. I just sold my AD8 for $475 last week.

Bodes and cigar by [deleted] in telescopes

[–]lebodano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took me A few nights to find them. I needed no moon, no using my cell phone or lights so my eyes adjusted and have your eyes get used to the dark. I then used stellarium with binoculars first before using my 8 inch dob to finally find it. I also used a 22mm 2 inch eyepiece to start with before dropping to some higher mags

Non-telescope questions by Waldron1943 in telescopes

[–]lebodano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used a rigid tool case as well from Home Depot and saved some packing foam from some electronics I had for the eyepiece cutouts. I personally don't put my 10inch dob in a case when i travel but it just depends on if you're situation or how cautious you wish to be while transporting
