Guest Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I have bought another intervalometer. I haven't yet tried leaving it outside to hunt for meteors but it's nice to use it as a remote shutter release. It wasn't a good photo but I snapped the Galilean Moons the other day.

Bottletopburly Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Incoming camera after deciding i needed a newer camera that was a step up from the trusty canon 1000D and originally had a 600D in mind but Kev through up a nikon and after a good look around seems he was correct with info going by what i have seen ,even managed to find astrobin image taken with same refractor but rebranded Meade ,24 million pixel and also apparently doesnt have an anti alaising filter what ever that is but seems astro community like that it doesn't have it anyway ,so managed to find a used one on camera jungle(jessops ) in excellent condition £280 no idea on clicks though but given it is shiny new and if it had a massive count i would send back ,now other sites selling used good conditions with under 10k for £279 so hopefully this will be ok .Heads up , Canon 1000D with IR removed (nice entry level astro camera ) will be up for sale shortly once all things working on nikon ,also beware do not confuse 3500 with 5300 as that one is no good for astro .

Nightspore Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I wish the weather was better to give the Pentax zoom a good field test with my ED80. It balances beautifully on an AZ5 in a Baader dielectric diagonal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to Steve for the recommendation 👍 The Dob will be residing inside (hopefully) for the EMS5 trip next weekend. I must remember to take a Birmingham screwdriver with me to peg it down.

Mine is fantastic with my little zeiss. Just a shame they can't give you the nose piece with it at least! Really nice for luna, I can now finally follow my moon atlas😉 Edited October 25, 2019 by tuckstar Nightspore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm OK with an inverted Newtonian view of the Moon, but mirror-reversed does my head in lol. tuckstar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Bino-viewer Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I have the same one (i think ?) and i'm also impressed with it. Despite it taking up a lot of lightpath with the binoviewer i can still focus natively with it. Baader make some lovely gear, there's no doubt.

I ordered a 2" Baader Amici a few weeks ago, it's taking its time. I think they're must be still making it lol. tuckstar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
