Can't you just put tube rings on it and throw it on a vixen rail? That would make mounting a piece of cake.

I own a dslr camera how do I download my images to a desktop computer? I also have a two 585 MC yet can't figure out how to do a download. I joined a local astronomy club 2 days ago but have heard nothing from the group yet. Your video is good. Thank you for your help.

Well done, but I don't have a good feeling about using two concrete blocks as a telescope pier.
@AstroStace2 ай бұрын
🤣 deary me, you must be new! This pier has been in since 2019 and carried a whole heap of different equipment . It’s never moved. Brilliant way of making a pier, as long as you do it correctly (like I have )
@davidreisman4122 ай бұрын
Do you have to merge each adjustment layer before moving on to the next, or can you leave them as-is?

I'm interested to know the cheapest way to get the best image (ok...aren't we all?)... What do you think about getting a cheap Newtonian. Remove the alumination/reflexion coating from the secondary or the primari or both. It should remove 99.999999% of light. Then you can use a H alpha filter on the eyepiece?

Have you heard of Chiro, the faithful dog of the late Akira Fujii, noted Japanese astrophotographer? At one time Chiro was named director of an observatory. Also I seem to recall Chiro found a freshly fallen meteorite -- which is probably the only kind of astronomical discovery a dog can make. Maybe Luna should be the honorary director of your observatory.
@AstroStace3 ай бұрын
I haven’t ! I’ll have a read up! But no doubt Luna will be the director . She’s been very helpful with construction so far 😃
