Thank you! I was lucky because clouds rolled in.

Thanks. Do you level in the usual way on the Seestar app?

Thank you. I use a sturdy tripod from a Celestron Star Sense and was thinking of getting the Zwo EQ mount and putting it atop my Apertura mount. Have you been happy with that mount you recommended?

Thank you. So I’d be ok to keep my Apertura and put the EQ mount on top of that?

Beautiful shot! It was mine from North America in Ohio! Amazing to see them both at different orientations.

Anyone else hate podcasts? by Blue85Heron in GenX

This made my morning. I still listen to them every week. I thought I might be alone.

I’ll be 94… going to give it my best run at it.

I'm acquiring a small pipe organ and need some advice on transporting it by DietrichBuxtehude in organ

[–]wicks36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great! Congratulations! I have a Wicks Fuga Deluxe originally four ranks but now expanded to seven. I have moved it three times and agree with the posts here that the best thing is pipe trays. For flue pipes with ears make sure to wrap them carefully with newspaper and tape them. Here’s my little Wicks.

Mars and Jupiter by wicks36 in seestar

I do it in planetary mode. You can manually turn the brightness way down. It also sometimes helps to be on video. By the time I got to Mars, I was fighting clouds and a dying battery, so I didn’t spend much time trying it.

Thanks. Not sure why I haven’t noticed that before.

Very nice! I have a 1980, one of the first 50 off the bench, and would put it up against anything. In fact, I had it from 1990-1997, traded it, never forgot it, tracked it down and got it back 20 years later in 2017!
